Let Alicia T. Madry walk you through how to conduct a lively, successful shower from the opening ice-breaker games to the party dishes to serve. This indispensable little guide makes it easy as well as fun for the host and her lucky guests. There are removable game pages for the first eight guests, but you can add as many as you wish.

Along with the games and food, you'll find a section on suggested prizes for the game-winning guests and locations for the shower. And something extra: Inspirational quotations from the King James Version of the Bible, for before, during, and after the baby's arrival.

"Whether you're having your first child or your fifth," says Ms. Madry, "This book is for you because all children are God's gift from above."
