Hello!

I haven't been lurking this board long, so I am not sure if an intro is necessary, but here it is. I just found out my cousin (who is like a sister to me) is expecting, so I am l planning a shower for her. Since it is the first time I have planned a shower, I thought I would head over to this board (I usually post on TTGP) to get some ideas!

Hi! I am not sure how much help you will find from lurking here since we mainly get questions about etiquette. Good luck with the shower planning!

Pinterest is your friend :-D The board tends to get nothing but "my mom said I'm being a brat, but help me convince her she's wrong!" or "Can you help me come up with a poem to help cover up my spoiled brat desires?"

Yes, he's mine. Yes, he's aware I'm a horrible mother. Yes, I plan on teaching him to act just like me.
No, CPS hasn't come to rescue him yet.
Yes, I'll make sure to let him know how sorry you feel for him.

I agree with PP about Pinterest.  I just joined to gather ideas for planning my SIL's baby shower and I have found it very helpful so far in narrowing down a theme, food, decor, and gift ideas.  My biggest problem is going to be narrowing down to a few things because I have pinned a ton of ideas.

Welcome.  First thing to do is to let your cousin know you want to host a baby shower for her and give her an idea of how many people you can accomodate.  That way she can decide whether it will be fore her family, her DH's/SO's family, friends or all of them.  Personally, I had 3 showers - one that was family and close friends, one that was given by the women at my church and a work shower.  If you have a budget in mind that might determine how many you can accomodate space-wise and financially.

I get a lot of ideas from pinterest and also google.
