Baby Shower Planning Tips

November 19, 2007 By Stephanie

Baby Shower Planning Tips 1When it comes to planning the perfect baby shower, Leah Merchant knows her stuff. She’s the owner and founder of Diaper Cakewalk, a diaper cake-making company. What is a diaper cake, you ask? It is “a clever, impressive, and practical baby shower gift, perfect for every new or expectant mom. It is a tower of individually rolled or wrapped disposable diapers arranged to look like a cake, with goodies hidden inside or goodies attached to the outside.“

I’ve seen diaper cakes before. In fact, I received one when I was pregnant with my little one. But…shhh…don’t tell. It wasn’t half as pretty as the ones from Diaper Cakewalk. These cakes are beautiful, fun, and colorful – oh, and did I mention…practical? It’s especially wonderful that the cakes are concocted with Pampers Swaddlers – no cheapy diapers to contend with.

These baby diaper cakes would make a great centerpiece for a baby shower or a creative gift for a mom-to-be in your life.

Back to baby shower planning…new moms usually know many other new moms or new moms-to-be and it’s very likely that you will throw a baby shower at some point (In fact, I just threw one today). It can be trying to coordinate all of the details (the decorations, the food, the games) so Merchant has compiled a great list of baby shower ideas for you to glean from. She also has a list of links to other baby shower sites.

WIN IT! One lucky winner will receive the Snuggle “Diaper-Only” cake of her choice – choose between the Snuggle Bunny, Bear, Ducky, or Froggy (pictured). To enter, simply leave a comment and your e-mail address on this post prior to Saturday, November 24, at midnight. The winner will be contacted by e-mail on Sunday, November 25. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

* UPDATED * The winner is #44 melonkelli. Congratulations!

    My friend (Diaper Cakes by Misti) makes diaper cakes and I was blogging just to see what they were about; boy there are a lot of unique diaper cakes, especially from the store you listed (albeit a bit pricy)!!
