Answer
The best thing is know what your parents likes and are into say like golf, yoga, play poker or blackjack, like reading fiction and nonfiction spy books, gardening, what are they fans and so on. Since you don't and can't look into, how about any of these things on the list.

When would be a good time to plan a baby shower for my uncle's girlfriend?
EllieC
I really wanna throw my uncle's girlfriend a suprise baby shower but her baby's due at the beggining of March. It's only a little bit after Christmas and i dont no how and when i'd plan it especially without her knowing. Also I dont no much about baby shower's. Any ideas?
Answer
If it's her 1st baby and first/only shower I wouldn't do a surprise. I'm sure she would love to know that she is actually getting a shower and having her baby celebrated. If it's a 2nd baby I think a surprise is awesome. However, if you do stick to the surprise thing, I would get your Uncle in on it to help you pick out a day, etc. Also, any time after she is 30 weeks pregnant is a good time for a shower. You don't want to do it too late because women get tired in the 3rd trimester/ like to set things up, wash the clothes and get things ready.
As far as the shower goes, you don't have to do much to make it great. You could either do evites or you could do paper invitations. You can find some cute ones at Target. Get balloons.. they decorate a space really nicely and for not a lot of money (not sure if that is an issue?). You could do boy colored or girl colored balloons if you know what it is, and stick with both pink and blue or neutral colored balloons if it's a surprise gender. You could do one helium type balloon with "It's a Girl!" or "It's a Boy!" or "Welcome Baby" on it to mix in with the colored balloons.
What time you have it will dictate food... if you do it at lunch time or dinner time people will expect heavier and more food. In between hours, you could do light snacks... chips and dip, some fruit,etc. You could do "baby" food... baby carrots, mini-M&Ms, baby watermelon balls. Or you could serve strawberry icecream and pink cake for a girl. Sam's Club, Food Lion, Wal-mart.. all have good cakes for not much money. $20 at Sam's you can get a Baby Shower cake, personalize it and feed lots of people with it. If you do an evite, you can set a certain amount or certain types of food and people can opt to either bring food or not, it's great. You could serve soda, diet soda. Or you could do a punch which you make by using sherbert icecream and adding some sprite or 7-up to it. The "punch" is supposed to be mostly icecream.
Pick 1-3 games from the internet. Popular ones are guessing the flavor of baby food, guessing how big mommy is using ribbon, putting chocolate candies in a diaper and microwave that for 5-10 seconds and have people guess the candy in it. Fill a baby bottle with M&Ms and have people guess how many are in there.. the person who wins gets the bottle filled with candy (there are bottles you can get for $1 at target). Have a few prizes - one of each game - you could do bags of candy (colored hershey's kisses, just an idea).
So basically....... have people sign in a booklet or on a special paper when they get there, serve the snacks and cake immediately (who wants to wait, plus some people might leave early), play 3 games, then open gifts. Or you could intersperse the games and the gifts to break it up a little. Then you could either have a take away favor for guests or not...... doesn't matter.
