Baby Shower idea for Dad

This is a little 6x6 book I made with my bind-it-all using the Little Stinker image from KLM Designs. I used an acrylic cover on this and had a hard time getting a good shot that didn't glare. This is a book for the father to be and contains basic diaper changing instructions. The rest of the book is blank for advice from the pros at the baby shower on anything baby. The idea is to take this book to the baby shower, pass it around to the ladies so they can write in their advice and then it gets presented to the father to be-- ya know, when he shows up at the end to see what food is left and load up the car.


My husband likes instructions for things and that's what sparked the idea for this book. It's kind of a gag gift/keepsake for Dad. I kept the design minimal because it's more manly to me and I'm not Eve Fowler.
Thanks for stopping by on this stormy afternoon!

  4. Annie you are so funny! When I was first reading this- I was like ...."Who is Eve Fowler?" Oh yeah...she is talking about ME!!!! I LOVE this idea. Very clever!!! Some men seriously need this! We had three in diapers at one time- so my hubby knows how to change two at once. (You throw your legs over the baby!!!)
    I am done working now- so I might actually start doing some blogging!!!!

  19. I love the idea and the timing is perfect. My cousin's shower is coming up next month and this is perfect for the Dad to be. We plan on picking up rubber gloves, a poncho and face mask to add to this "gift". Thank you for sharing!!

  20. Beautiful Baby Shower idea for Dad! Thanks a ton my friend for all of the efforts for writing this inspirational post. Well, I recently hosted the most beautiful bash at the prettiest NYC venues for my sister as she is exacting twins. A lot of party games were adding so much more humor to this fun evening.
