What is a great way to celebrate my sister and brother-in-laws news that they are having a baby?

Kate: What is a great way to celebrate my sister and brother-in-laws news that they are having a baby?
My sister just came home for Christmas and she couldn’t wait to tell us (her husband was on the speaker phone), Now he is coming in town Tuesday and we want to do something special for them. This is the first baby in our family! We thought about going out to a nice restaurant, but since my sister is having morning sickness that doesn’t seem like a good idea.
I’d love to hear some suggestions! Thank you!

Try contacting a catering company that can take care of cooking something yummy for you guys, and you don’t have the stress.

And i would recommend buying little baby things that might come in handy – like lots of nappies! sounds crazy, but you apparently get through tons of them and they eat up a lot of costs in looking after a baby. Or booties. Maybe – or leave this to the baby shower.

If you don’t like that idea, you could have a baby party, and make a slide show of baby pictures of you, your sister, your parents, their parents, etc. You could also ask anyone in your family who has children (your parents, uncles, aunts, etc,etc), to write down their number 1 parenting tip. You could also design a “Welcome” card to the new baby – it won’t be able to read it for years (!) but when it does, it’ll realise how very welcome it is in your family 🙂

The main thing though is to have a big party at home – and make sure your sister gets a delicious non-alcoholic cocktail – everyone else might be toasting with champagne but she won’t be able to have any for a long time yet!

What a lovely Christmas present 🙂 Good luck – have a fantastic Xmas!

Dear Auntie,

I love parties and celebrations at home, everyone gets to relax and the fun can get a bit loud and no one yells at you.

Now get a copy of the song Having My Baby….. its a little bit back there but not ancient.
go to a party store and get a thing that hangs across the doorway announcing Having My Baby or We’re Having A Baby , make a cake with a baby theme on top of the cake , remembering the sex may not be established as yet.
Oh just remembered Ha. Go to www. hp.com/go/activitycenter
and make sure it comes up Hewlett-Packard there are some sites that say hp and are something else totally . Now its all free and there are places that have Baby shower items and thank you cards with the imprint of a babys foot with the word baby in different pastel colors. I know because I got it all done for my daughter in law who had twin girls this July . they have games and answers who attended list, gift list and so on. oh so cute. and the most precious Baby Card where cards are and it says Baby, you’ll just die,,,,,,,,,
Now you can all get together and buy the baby to be its first gift. Why not an intercom system that the parents will thank you over and over again. one goes in the babies room and the other two can go in your bedroom at night and down stairs or in the kitchen or livingroom whereever they are. We got them one and it helped one of the girls who had problems breathing and we believe it helped save her life.

If you are looking for a super punch its easy; for every can of Minute maid Punch add about 2/3 of a 2 liter of 7up or Sprite and make ice cubes of the punch and put frozen fruit of strawberries and melon balls and so on in the punch. if its kept real super cold it gets froffy and people have accused me of spiking the punch. I’m enjoying your question.
Simplyshy Good luck
