Types of Baby Showers Range From Surprise, Couples, Twins, Sprinkle and More http://www.occultissimo.com/2011/04/types-of-baby-showers-range-from-surprise-couples-twins-sprinkle-and-more/ http://www.occultissimo.com/2011/04/types-of-baby-showers-range-from-surprise-couples-twins-sprinkle-and-more/#comments Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:33:34 +0000 admin http://www.occultissimo.com/?p=418 Types of Baby Showers

After you decide to host a baby shower, one of the first decisions will be the type baby shower you want to give. However, this decision is made somewhat easier based on the purpose of the baby shower. For instance, if it is for new parents adopting an infant, baby or older child, the decision is obvious. Or, if you wanted to invite the guys, then you would want to have a co-ed or couples baby shower. A surprise baby shower might be held when you want to throw the party and surprise the new Mom-to-Be. Other types include sprinkle baby shower, multiple triples and twins baby shower, single mom baby shower and welcome home baby shower. The personalized baby shower invitations you send will depend on the type baby shower you are throwing. Read More About Types of Baby Showers.

Adoption Baby Showers

Adopting a baby is an exciting time in a couple’s life. Whether the new parents are adopting an infant, baby or older child, an adoption baby shower is a great way to introduce the addition to the family. The new parents will still need the basic necessities that any baby or child requires. When planning for an adoption baby shower, ask the new parents what they will need for the baby or child. Since adoptions can bring a certain amount of uncertainty until the baby arrives home with the adoptive parents, it may be best to wait to hold the baby shower until the parents bring their new addition home. Read More About Adoption Baby Showers.

After the new parents have identified some needed items, the personalized adoption baby shower invitations can be sent. These adoption baby shower cards should provide clear communication to the invited guests that it is an adoption baby shower. Given that it is an adoption, every effort should be made to not differentiate a child through adoption versus natural means. Of course identifying on the adoption baby shower invitations that it is an adoption baby shower will help guests know; however, the types of gifts and advice given will not be any different.

Co-ed Baby Showers for the Guys and Girls

Hosting a co-ed baby shower will definitely be a different celebration than a traditional baby shower. Since this will be a co-ed baby shower, you should remember the different types of guests that will be attending when determining the various aspects of the co-ed baby shower, such as the food and activities. Read More About Co-ed Baby Showers for Guys and Girls.

Since it will be a co-ed shower, decorating with less frilly colors, such as pink, (yes, even if it is a girl) will be more guy-friendly. Be sure to include where the expectant parents are registered in the personalized co-ed baby shower invitations cards. There are lots of unique baby shower invitations wordings, verses and sayings for co-ed baby showers invitations on many websites. Having a menu that will appeal to both men and women will be important. Plus if children are invited to attend then serving enticing kid-type food for them will be important.

Couples Baby Showers for the Dad-to-Be and Mom-to-Be and Their Friends

Baby showers were traditionally for the Mom-to-Be. However, times have definitely changed. With fathers taking a more active role in their family, particularly when it comes to planning for their new baby’s arrival, Dads-to-Be have felt left out of the baby shower party celebrations. Thus having a couples baby shower has become more a normal occurrence rather than the exception. The imprinted couples baby shower invitations should clearly indicate that the baby shower is a couples baby shower. Read More About Couples Baby Showers for the Expecting Parents.

The unique couples baby shower invitations should appeal to both the men and women, which will help to bring the men so that the father-to-be will not be the only guy at the baby party. At traditional baby showers, the Mom-to-Be is given something for her, not just the baby. When hosting a couples baby shower, ensure that there is a little something just for the Dad-to-Be, such as a ‘coach’ t-shirt, etc. Baby shower favors can also be given out the guests, but the items should be something that would be appreciated by the couple, such as candles or food items.

When sending affordable couples baby shower invitations, be sure and inform the invited guests that it is for couples – the father-to-be does not want to be the only guy there. Since the Mom-to-Be will need to send baby shower thank you cards after the baby shower, it is a good idea order the baby shower thank you cards at the time the couples baby shower invitations are ordered so they will have the same baby shower theme. There are websites that have sample couples baby shower invitations sayings, verses and wording ideas.

Single Mom Baby Showers

Planning single mom baby showers have lots of possibilities, particularly for selecting a theme for the shower. When choosing a baby theme, ensure that it reflects the expectant mom’s personality. With a single mom baby shower, it is important to remember that she may have some needs that a couple would not need, such as extra help financially or added support from a friend. When planning the shower, get the list of guests who the Mom-to-Be would like to see at the baby shower. The single mom baby shower invitations should definitely reflect the theme that has been chosen.

By offering time or purchasing a gift that will help her with daily tasks is always a good option. Of course, a gift certificate for a massage is always good. Taking pictures of mom and baby together would be something that a single mom would not necessarily think about and is a nice treat. Whatever the theme of the baby shower, the single mom baby shower invitations will set the stage for what the expectant mother will need for her baby.

Sprinkle Baby Showers for the Second, Third, Fourth & Additional Baby

The sprinkle baby shower is usually a smaller scale shower where the guests “sprinkle” the new mom with the little necessities the new baby will need. It is not the same as the traditional shower, but rather sort of like a sprinkling of gifts for the new baby. This clever term has been gaining popularity over the years and is becoming a new trend. A sprinkle baby shower is a great idea for parents-to-be who have other children. Read More About Sprinkle Baby Showers for the Second, Third, Fourth & Additional Baby.

The sprinkle baby shower invitations should indicate that it is a sprinkle baby shower. When planning the sprinkle baby shower, the sprinkle baby shower invitations cards can be fun and theme-oriented, such as a theme around what the needs might be. Regardless of what the sprinkle baby shower is called, ensure that the sprinkle baby shower announcements cards announce the type of celebration that will be held for the parents-to-be for the new life. There are lots of sample sprinkle baby shower invitations wording ideas, wording verses and sayings to help you get your personalized sprinkle baby shower invitations just right.

Surprise Baby Showers for the New Mom-to-Be

Planning a surprise baby shower can be a lot of fun provided that the Mom-to-Be is ‘game’ for surprises. To pull off the surprise baby shower, the hostess will need to enlist the help of others, such as the guest list, ensuring no one who should be invited is omitted, and getting someone to bring the Mom-to-Be to the baby shower party. It is important to remember to include in the personalized surprise baby shower invitations that it is a surprise baby shower. Read More About Surprise Baby Showers.

The invitations for surprise baby shower should indicate that the shower is a surprise. Next, pulling off the surprise will take more than just one person to ensure the secret is kept. The personalized surprise baby shower invitations should clearly state that it is a “surprise baby shower”, so no one will let the ‘cat out of the bag’ before the day of the surprise shower party.

When ordering the custom surprise baby shower announcements, be sure and order the matching baby shower thank you cards for the new Mom-to-Be. There are a few websites with excellent sample baby shower invitations wording ideas, verses and saying for baby invitations and baby thank you cards.

Twins, Triplets & Multiple Baby Showers

Twins, triplets and multiple baby showers are even more exciting and sometimes more stressful to plan than a traditional baby shower. And, you are just the friend or family helping to plan the shower, imagine how Mom and Dad must be feeling Read More About Twins, Triplets and Multiples Baby Showers.

Additionally, whether preparing twins baby shower invitations or triplets baby shower cards, the hostess should include in the shower invitations to all the invited guests of how many expected babies there are. Another thing to include on the twin baby shower invitations is whether the Mom-to-Be would prefer having non-matching outfits. This may be hard to communicate, but it is an important item to find out from her, particularly if the babies are the same gender or identical twins, triplets or multiples.

When purchasing baby shower gifts for multiple babies, it is not necessary to purchase multiples sets of everything. There are plenty of things that can be shared between the babies. Of course, having multiple babies will increase the cost of diapers, wipes, etc. that much more, so those types of gifts are always appreciated. But giving something fun is a nice idea too. Mothers of twins, triplets and multiples will usually forgo the fun, cute items for more practical, everyday items, such as books on rearing twins, triplets or multiple babies. Don’t forget about dad—with so many fathers playing larger roles in their children’s lives, inviting other men might be worthwhile and fun.

Welcome Home Baby Showers for After the Birth of Baby and New Mom and Baby are Home

A welcome home baby shower is a shower that is held after the baby has been born. While this may not be a traditional way of celebrating the impending birth of a child, this is definitely a great way for people to get together who might not have been able to make it to the baby showers given before the baby is born. This is also a fun time for the new parents to introduce the newest member of their family and friends. Read More About Welcome Home Baby Showers.

When planning the welcome home baby shower, sending the personalized welcome home baby shower invitations should be done within four weeks before the date of the welcome home baby shower party. Planning a welcome home baby shower will be a lot simpler than a traditional baby shower as the party will be a lot more relaxed. When planning, don’t forget the welcome home baby shower announcements and matching baby shower thank you cards as this will set the stage for a great party. Also ask the new parents of their preferences for food, date and time of day, as they now have a little one to cater.

Shower Screens http://www.occultissimo.com/2011/04/shower-screens/ http://www.occultissimo.com/2011/04/shower-screens/#comments Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:33:19 +0000 admin http://www.occultissimo.com/?p=410 Shower screens are an important part of the bathroom decor. They need to be functional, efficient and beautiful as well. Shower screens should also be strong if they are not made of tile. Hardened glass screens will ensure that there is no cracking. In the past, some shower screens have exploded from stress and ended up looking like a shattered car windscreen.

Frameless shower screens are both elegant and sophisticated, giving your bathroom a look of timeless beauty. They are much easier to clean as there are no joins that can attract moisture and mould. Frameless shower screens are available with sliding, hinged or pivoting doors to suit every taste and application.

Everyone who has had the difficult task of dusting under and on top of wardrobes will choose to have built-in wardrobes if they can. Not only are built-in wardrobes much easier to clean, but they give more room and the inserts allow you to design the interior hanging and shelf space to suit each member of the family.

Traditionally, wardrobes came in pairs; one with all hanging space and the other with a set of drawers included. This basic arrangement worked well enough – too bad if it didn’t. Some older wardrobes had the drawer underneath which made for more hanging space that was actually rather too short for some outfits to hang freely.

Nowadays, with the inclusion of clothes made from non-iron materials and the more casual lifestyle, not so much hanging space is needed.

However, people tend to have more clothes these days than was possible for previous generations and so more drawer space is certainly handy. With built in wardrobes you can choose to have plenty of shelving and just a little bit of hanging space. You can also have hanging space or shelving to keep your shoes tidy. And not one bit of dust can gather along the top of the unit.

However, to ensure the baby shower games are successful there should be some thoughtful baby shower party planning, All About Baby Showers. Before starting the baby shower games, it’s a good idea to go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves and their relationship to the Mommy-to-Be.

Here are some of the more popular baby shower games you can play during the baby shower:

Guess Mommy-to-Be’s Tummy Size: You will need some string / yarn and scissors for this game. Have each participant pull the yarn to the size they believe would fit perfectly around the Mommy-to-Be’s center of her pregnant tummy. After everyone cuts their string, compare the results to the Mommy-to-Be’s actual tummy. Give a prize to the guest who is the closest! This baby shower game is an ole favorite and will be enjoyed by all.

Say “Baby”: You will need baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string for each guests at the baby shower as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace. Have each guest place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules for this baby shower game are given at the beginning of the baby shower. Whenever someone says the word “baby” during the baby shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize.

Naming Baby Items: You will need a pad of paper and pen for each guest. Have each guest write down as many baby products as they can name, such as bottle, blanket, pacifier, etc during a five minute period. This sounds easy, and IS at first, but during last few minutes, the participants will start racking their brains for more baby items. The guest with the most baby products named will win and receive a prize.

Make The Mommy-to-Be’s Baby: You will need baby magazines, scissors, glue and paper. Divide the guests into teams with each team having three members, and give each team some baby magazines. Ask each team to cut out pieces of different baby qualities and put together a picture of what they think the Mommy-to-Be’s baby will look like. Ask the Mommy-to-Be pick the baby she likes the best. Prizes will go to the winning team. This is another of the most popular baby shower games.

Guess The Gerber’s: You will need Gerber’s infant food, pads of paper and pens. You will need to take the labels off of the baby food jars and have the guests at the baby shower guess the food, i.e. carrots, peas, sweet potato. This game usually has ten different jars or more of different baby food. The winner is the guest with the most correct guesses.

Guess the Number of Safety Pins: You will need a lot of safety pins and a jar. Pass a jar full of baby safety pins around so all the guests can view it. Each guess will then guess the number of safety pins they think are in the jar. The one who guesses the closest wins a baby shower prize. This another baby shower game favorite.

Place The Baby On The Mommy-to-Be: You will need cutouts of a baby, tape and blindfolds. This is a version of Pin The Tail on the Donkey, a game kids love to play. Blindfold each guests and give them a paper baby to place the baby as close to the Mommy-to-Be’s tummy as possible. The one who gets closest to placing the paper baby on the pregnant tummy wins.

Bottle Races: You will need several baby bottles with milk. Have each guest take a bottle filled with a milk (you may substitute milk for another liquid) and suck the bottle as a baby would. The woman who drinks the most during an allotted time wins the baby shower gift. This is always a laughter filled baby shower game.

Baby Bingo: You will need pens and bingo cards. Before opening the baby shower gifts, number each baby shower gift on the box starting with one. If you know that 35 people will be attending the baby shower, pre-print bingo cards with numbers 1 through 35 and randomly place them on 35 cards. When the Mommy-to-Be’s decides to open the presents, she grabs the present she wants to open and reads the number out loud. As soon as someone receives bingo, they win the baby shower game and the baby shower prize.

What’s the baby item: You will need various baby products and a blindfold. A bag of baby items are placed in front of the Mommy-to-Be for her to take one item out at a time blindfolded and tell the baby shower guests what item she has in her hands. This is really fun baby shower game when you choose some crazy baby toys or products.

Complete the Baby Rhyme: You will need a book containing baby rhymes. The host will read out loud to all the guest a part of the rhyme, which is to be completed by the other women.

Baby Bingo: You will need pens and bingo cards. Before opening the baby shower gifts, number each baby shower gift on the box starting with one. If you know that 35 people will be attending the baby shower, pre-print bingo cards with numbers 1 through 35 and randomly place them on 35 cards. When the Mommy-to-Be’s decides to open the presents, she grabs the present she wants to open and reads the number out loud. As soon as someone receives bingo, they win the baby shower game and the baby shower prize.

How’s the Baby: Ask all guests to bring a baby picture of themselves before the baby shower. Have all the pictures in a collage and draw lines for people to fill in who they think the babies are out of the people at the baby shower. If most guests don’t know each other, just have the pictures of the mother, mother-in-law, sisters, and Mommy-to-Be. See how many people guess right. You can make copies of the baby picture collage to see how many can guess right.

Baby Scrambler: Another fun baby shower game is to choose 25 baby related items and scramble the spelling. For instance, pacifier can be changed to reiifpca. Ask the guests to unscramble the words. The one who gets the most right in five minutes receives a baby shower prize.

Name that Baby Song: You will need a pad of paper and pen for each guest. Have each guest write down all the songs that have baby in their titles, like baby love, Santa baby, one for my baby and so on. Allow five minutes for this game. This baby shower game can be made more difficult by asking who also wrote the songs.

Dirty Diaper Circle: You will need a diaper, chocolate and music player. Although one of our “dirtiest” baby shower games, it is one of the favorites. The host takes a diaper that has been “fixed” with warm chocolate in the right place and have the guests pass it to the person next to them is in a circle. When the host stops the music, whoever is holding the diaper is out of the game.

Pacifier in the baby’s mouth: You will need a blindfold, a baby picture and a pacifier drawing for each guest. Tape a picture or drawing of a baby on the wall and have the blindfolded women try to tape the pacifier as close to the mouth of the baby as possible. The one who gets the closest ones.

Blindfold Diapering: You will need a blindfold, baby doll (life size) and diapers. One of the funniest baby shower games. It calls for the guests to be divided into teams of up to five people. Each team has a doll, blindfold and diapers. The object is for each participant to place the blindfold on, take the current diaper off the doll and place the new one on while blindfolded. After the first person completes diapering, they run to the next teammate who places the blindfold on and has to do the same. The first team to finish diapering wins!

Baby Tic-Tac-Toe: You will need a large erasable board to use for the tic-tac-toe board, writing utensil, and baby facts. Baby shower guests are divided into teams and are ask to answer a question about a baby fact. If they get the answer right, they get to choose a space, like the classic tic-tac-toe game.

The baby shower games are a very important part of your baby shower. You want to do everything you can to ensure the baby shower games are enjoyed by all and are a huge success. Here’s some tips for ensuring your baby shower games are successful:

Steam Showers for the Bathroom http://www.occultissimo.com/2010/07/steam-showers-for-the-bathroom/ http://www.occultissimo.com/2010/07/steam-showers-for-the-bathroom/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:12:13 +0000 admin http://www.occultissimo.com/?p=225 Before Installation

Steam showers come in modular acrylic units as well as custom made. A bathroom needs to be prepared before a steam shower can be put in. By its very nature a steam shower produces a lot of steam and the bathroom and shower enclosure needs to be water proof or mould and mildew will begin to grow. People with diabetes, high blood sugar, who are pregnant or very young, should consult their doctor before using a steam shower.

Modular Steam Showers

Modular steam showers are pre-fabricated and fit into a standard shower footprint. A modular steam shower can be retro-fitted into a bathroom that already exists. Modular steam showers average between $3,000 and $5,000. Modular showers do have various options, such as number of shower heads, often depending on the brand of the steam shower. Modular steam shower bases can be whirlpool bathtubs. They usually come in white and off-white colours.

Custom Steam Shower

Custom steam showers are usually created in new home builds and are more expensive then modular showers. Custom steam showers are tiled on the walls, floor, and ceiling. The tiles are set on mortar bed which ensures complete water resistance. The doors have a seal too keep the steam contained. Most steam showers also have a seat so one can sit and enjoy the steam. A custom steam shower has more options than a modular steam shower: colour is one such option. Custom steam showers can be made in any colour the tile comes in which, with the vast array of selection, is virtually any colour. The tiles themselves can have designs and texture also. There are also arrays of shower head options.

Luxury Steam Shower Suite

For those willing to spend the money, luxury steam shower suites are very nice. A steam shower suite can cost between $20,000 and $30,000. Luxury steam shower features may include double headed showers, extra shower heads on the walls, massage shower heads, rain shower heads. Other options are foot hydro-massage, radios, iPod setups and telephones. A steam shower suite may also have waterfalls and chromo-therapy (coloured lights).

Steam Shower Generators

Steam shower generators are a critical part in a steam shower and can cost between $500 and $1600. The steam shower generator warms the water and produces the steam which is then released in the shower with an insulated nozzle. The generator can be installed within 25 feet so can be hidden in the bathroom and need not be an eye sore. A steam shower generator has two controls. The controls can be located inside or outside of the enclosure or one inside and one outside. One control shows the temperature and has temperature control and shut off knob. The other control is a timer and will shut off the steam automatically. A good generator is quiet and produces steam quickly. Another good feature in a steam shower generator is one that has a steady flow of air and not just short burst.

Bathrooms design http://www.occultissimo.com/2010/02/bathrooms-design/ http://www.occultissimo.com/2010/02/bathrooms-design/#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:32:02 +0000 admin http://www.occultissimo.com/?p=113 If you decided to start renovation of your bathroom, naturally there is a question, how to choose the modern and comfortable design of a room. Usually such plans include the selection of general style, articles of interior of bathrooms, as well as finishing materials and lighting devices. In addition, you can plan the process of heating and water-supply systems mounting. Planning of a room is always carried out in accordance with the customer’s desire.

Speaking about the design of a bathroom, it is impossible to forget such important detail as furniture. Now most often the interior of bathrooms includes the following objects: cupboards-columns, special dressers, cupboards with a bar and wall cupboards. There are also plenty of furniture sets where cupboards are combined with mirrors. You can often find such names in price-lists as a mirror with a cupboard, a mirror cupboard, a mirror with two cupboards and a mirror shelf. It is ideal for small space. MDF is considered to be the best material for furniture in a bathroom. It is specially developed for over damped rooms.

As for a bath, it is possible to do with a classic one, or to choose a corner one, or even to substitute a usual “bed” by a shower cabin. Anyway, usually the selection of bathroom interior depends on customer’s financial situation or size of a room.

Nowadays the most fashionable bathroom finishing styles are considered to be classical, country, retro and ethnic ones. You would better leave bathroom renovation and selection of basic “architectural style” to the specialists from designer studios. Here we give only general recommendations.

Brutalism includes the use of one-color black, white or grey tiles. In this case the furniture should be massive, with sharp forms, purposefully creating the feeling of rudeness. Horizontal lines from a natural stone prevail in classical style furniture. Their color and picture should harmonize with tiles as much as possible. The use of marble table tops combined with light furniture tones is considered to be the most popular in large rooms.

Country style helps to rest and relax better. It includes the use of woven furniture from moisture proof materials, and the color of tiles is usually different tints of green or with a decorative pattern in the form of branches and leaves. The woven furniture set and green walls imitate an arbor and summer park round it. Light brown tiles and furniture from a dark tree with the elements of screw-thread are considered to be characteristic features of retro style. A mirror in a simple wooden frame also helps to create the atmosphere of old times.

Ethnic style gives excellent chance to wake up your fantasy. It will help you to imagine yourself on a rocky island visiting mysterious native people. Tree and natural stone are basic materials at room finishing. They are usually rudely trimmed, to give an impression of wild tribe art work. The color of tree and stone is usually natural, preferably of dark saturated tints of brown and grey.

We will say in conclusion, that although a design of bathrooms is in a great deal a business of the specialists, a customer should not stay away from this process. In fact it is exactly his task to choose the range of colours of a room, the desired units of furniture and sanitary equipment.
