I worked this weekend on the 'guestbook pages' for our friend's baby shower.  Its a co-ed baby bash with a lot of single guys (go figure), so no games.  I'm pretty pleased with the results,but need a few more things under 'firsts' and maybe something different under the 'funny stories' section.  In my experience of using these, fill-in-the-blanks are used more than the 'write a story'  Take a look and let me know where I can add!  (and credit goes to onelargecat for the cute baby in a diaper clip art)

first food? First haircut? First tooth? First gf/bf? First movie?

Have them name baby's first security blanket? (Teddy bear, blanket, stuffed animal, etc.)

Who does baby look like? (Steve or Dixie)

I don't know ... your version looks great to me!!

I was debating about first food, and I REALLY like the name the teddy bear thing!

thanks

Thanks! Wayyy back in WC days, someone posted a like to the 'real' ones, and thrifty/crafty me made my own.

Captioning the pics came to me this weekend - the one that I did was a 'draw the bride and groom', which was less than spectacular...

heehee...I can't really take credit since all I did was find an image of a rubber stamp online and make it b&w. It's pretty funny, though, isn't it? It cracks me up.

This guestbook pages thing is a cool idea!

well, thanks anyway, as its surprisingly hard to find a cute, simple image of a baby!

I had hinted to Dixie to make/buy these for MY shower, but she didn't bite. We look through our wedding ones all the time - its a blast!

What a cute idea! I think your page looks great. And I like lkell's suggestions.

thanks! I figure it will be really fun for them to look through in years to come.

I may make some for Ben's first birthday since I didn't have any at my shower.
