Baby Shower make in Heaven…

Salma Hayek had her baby shower this past this past Saturday and her due date must be in days not weeks. Included in gift bounty were gifts in pink, I think that means she’s having a girl.

“The baby’s name is Valentina,” but right now that’s just a rumor.

Us Magazine has said, Salma and her loved ones ate homemade Mexican food, Yum-Yum… at her baby shower, then Salma got gifts off her registry; NoMi Boutique of Los Angeles.

Penelope Cruz a friend of Salma gave a, Bloombaby Plexistyle Coco lounger for just under $400.00, with the message, “with love”.

Hayek’s agent gave her and baby a Orbit Baby car seat stroller with a special movie-star feature; anti-paparazzi shielding, also doubles as a sunshade. LOL. Get this, the Orbit baby car seat and stroller is around $900.00

” Salma was so excited about her amazing baby shower and her pregnancy. She was full of pregnancy glow and looked so happy,” said Pia Lindstrom, of course Selma’s mom came and had a great time too.

Salma Hayek a splendid actress, is engaged to Francois-Henri Pinault, and no one has officially said they’re having a girl, yet.

A baby shower is marking a day with a celebration of new life, the baby, your baby coming.

The intention of a baby shower is to literally shower the mother with blessings, gifts and the good will of her loved ones. A baby shower is not religious, although in the forties and fifties, showers were thrown in along with a baptism or a christening.

If you are planning to have a baby shower, then you can make it fun and exciting by throwing in some fun filled baby games. These games set the mood for the shower and help the guest to interact with each other. There are a variety of games you could choose from.’ The name game’ promises to be fun. In this game you have to ask your guests to select two names for the baby.

Now within a limited span of time they have to construct minimum three letter words from the two chosen words. The fun starts when the guests try to figure out the original names listening to the constructed words!

Example if the chosen is Richard Gere.The constructed words can be Rich,hard,rare etc.Be prepared to hear a lot of innovative and unique names during this game!
Another game which will make your shower exciting is called ‘Feeding time’. In this game you have place a large bowl filled with cotton balls and anther empty bowl next to it. Next blindfold your guests and ask them to try their hand at removing cotton balls from one bowl to another.

Sounds simple? Here is the twist; the transfer is to be done using spoons! The person to transfer the maximum cotton balls wins!

The game ‘Rice bowl’ is another difficult game but is no less fun. In this you have to mix closed safety pins in a bowl which is half filled with uncooked rice. The task for the blindfolded guests is to transfer as many pins as possible within a time limit of 30 seconds. As pins feel almost like rice the task becomes difficult and all the more exciting!

You can also arrange for a game by asking guests to bring their own baby photographs along with them. To play this game a little preparation is required. A secretary will need to label the photograph by placing a removable name tag at the back of them .After the labels are done you are to show the photographs to the guests and ask them to identify the pictures.

The guests are to write down the name of people of whom they think the photograph actually is. The person who gets the maximum number correct is declared to be the winner. This game brings back fond memories of earlier times and promises to be quite a hit at the baby shower celebration.
