Pretty good. February 13, 2007

This book was pretty helpful. I liked the ideas for gifts to give the most. It could have given some more ideas for baby shower games. Luckily I found a website that gave good ideas for free baby shower games.

the tidbits of cultural info were few and far between-not enough to have justified purchasing this book. personally, i didn't find anything too useful in here-i thought the theme ideas like a luau and a 70s party were kind of cheesy.
 Great for beginners May 20, 2001

I bought this book after I offered to throw a baby shower for a good friend. I'd never thrown a baby shower before, and I didn't know how to start planning one. After reading the previous review (which obviously refers to an earlier edition), I agree that the book is geared toward beginners, which was just what I needed. I was looking for something straight forward that would show me how to easily throw a fun party that has all the necessary baby-shower requirements, yet would not be overwhelming. This book offers all that and more: inviting party themes that seem simple to pull off, games that didn't drive my guests away, and tasty recipes--lots of recipes.(In fact, perhaps too many recipes. I stuck with the simpler-sounding ones, and they turned out very nicely. And let's face it: food is quite an attraction at these affairs!)My friend loved the shower, I didn't break a sweat planning it, and those two reasons are why this book is worth buying.

Contrary to the title, this is NOT the best baby shower book I've ever read, although it isn't bad. There's a little bit of everything in this book: a handfull of recipies, some ideas for inexpensive shower themes, making your own ivitations, very limited games. There are some interesting tidbits on folklore and traditions around the world that's very good and worth reading the book for. There is also a section on gift ideas and a checklist for the new mom's needs. All in all, this book is a decent place to start, but not sufficient in planning the entire party if you want to make it an all-out occasion
