Baby Shower Left Right Games
Have you worried how you were going to give your daughter the beautiful Quinceanera celebration you both have been dreaming about since she was a little girl? The other day I was speaking with Maria who lives in Houston, Texas. Maria was so excited about her upcoming Quince celebration. She said she has been wishing for her important day to come, since she was three years old.
Maria, said she remembers when she attended her cousin’s Quinceanera when she was a very little girl. She shared, she was so overwhelmed, how beautiful her cousin looked. Maria said she always remembered her cousin looking just like Cinderella in the movie. Maria did say her mother was very concerned, because her Quince celebration was not going to be as elaborate as she had been hoping for over the years. Her mother told her, there was a problem, because so many of her sponsors had either lost their jobs or their hours were cut back.
Maria was just about crying, because she said she tried to tell her mother it wasn’t important how much money was being spent on her celebration. All she wanted was for everyone to be happy and enjoy her special day.
I congratulated Maria for having the perfect attitude regarding the importance of her right of passage celebration. I shared with her the following secrets for having the perfect Quince celebration in today’s tough economic times.
- I informed Maria, many families are experiencing tight money problems. But, that did not mean things could not be turned around, by turning a negative situation into an opportunity for everyone to join together and participate with love rather than with just spending money.
- I recommended it was very important for Maria to sit down and discuss what the meaning of her celebration was to her and her family. She needed to tell her family what she told me. That she wanted everyone to be happy on her special day as they shared their joy, love and blessings with her when she celebrated her right of passage, as a Hispanic young woman on her fifteenth birthday.
- Next, I advised Maria, she needed to discuss the amount of money that would be available to spend for her celebration. I told her that is what is called the budget. We discussed even if the budget was very low like last years family Christmas party, that was a starting point.
- Maria said she felt better, because she could now speak with her parents, Godparents and some of her sponsors. We discussed the importance of writing the information down when discussing the money challenges with her family.
- A few days later Maria phoned me back. She said her whole family was happy, because no one was worried any longer about not being able to afford a lavish Quinceanera party for her. They all appreciated knowing how Maria really felt about her having her dream celebration.
- Maria and her family worked out a budget. Maria’s family had saved $1,000 over the past three years. They figured that would cover the cost of her dress and accessories, the church and invitations.
- Her God Parents donated their home for Maria’s party. Her ten sponsors agreed to meet and come up with a menu and each one would prepare the food, including her birthday cake and help serve the day of her Quinceanera.
- One of her sponsors agreed to make the centerpieces. A cousin who is a DJ offered to play at her party. Another cousin who is taking photography in college offered to take photos and have a friend take a video. All she had to do was pay for the duplication.
Maria said she couldn’t be happier. Her dream celebration just became a reality.

Is it okay to have a second Baby Shower with a second baby, especially if its different sex?
Weird question I know. But my first Baby Shower was just people in a room that gave me gifts, ate then left. I really want another baby shower (not so much about the gifts) but more about the fun of having family and friends around eating good food, and playing GAMES! Thats all I wanted for my first shower .. never got it. If you asked anybody I know they knew all I wanted to do was play baby games.
You should get a baby shower for every baby. Its celebrating the fact that your having a new blessing in your life. So i say go for it. just help pay for the decorations and everything. and it’ll all be fine. and tell your friends exactly what you want out of this baby shower.be spacific
