Big City Moms Baby Shower
Posted by Namely Newborns on Jan 1st 2015
Big City Moms gave an awesome baby shower at the Parrot Jungle . Over three hundred expectant parents were there. www.NamelyNewborns was excited to be able to participate. We gave out $10.00 gift certificates valid on their first purchase. Everybody was excited by the fabulous giveaways from major vendors; the Moms carried adorable green babies with three dimensional bellies on the outside. They filled them with baby blankets and burp pillows as well as lots of information.
The color of the night was purple. ManyMoms wore slinky purple dresses to show off their bump. The next most popular color was tangerine and of course, turquoise. After all, we are in Miami where bright colors are the thing; the young moms to be could show off their pretty shoulders with strapless dresses and their pedicured feet with hip platform shoes.
A large number of very cute but overwhelmed Dad's were there too. They proudly wore stickers supplied by Big City Mom that announced " I am the Dad". Many of the Dad's were involved with decisions about strollers, organic baby foodand cribs. Some of them even carried the bag or the baby if Mom had already delivered. Many of them wore Miami Heat black t-shirts and clearly wished they could be home in front of the TV watching Dwayne Wade and Lebron James.
A lot of Moms to be came with their best friends. Its always amazing if you have a best friend to share your pregnancy with. These friends will be the basis of your carpools and play groups for years to come. And if you are lucky, the kids will remain friends throughout their lives after bonding together as babies.
There were also several pairs of Moms and their mothers. The future grandmas were almost as excited as the Moms. They wanted to see and buy everything for the new grandchild. It is really wonderful to have a Mom to share your first baby with.If an expectant Mom can allow her Mom or Mother-in-law to get involved; she will have the most valuable tool any new Mom can have. The power and love of a Grandmother is unlimited. She will be there for you when you give birth, when the baby is sick and when you want to leave town for a few days of "down time" with your husband alone, she might even baby sit. It takes a village to raise a child and if you can have your Mom or Mother-in-law as a support your will never regret it.
