Planning a Pampered Chef Baby Shower: Ideas & Suggestions

[RossDeb2]

Has anyone done a PC baby shower? I was asked about doing one today? I told her I've never done one but I would look into it for her. She's supposed to get in touch with me in the next couple of days. Not sure what to offer for this. Any ideas? I see that someone offered to do a Power Cooking demo, a stock the freezer gift from the guests to the mommy-to-be. Not sure if that is quite what they are looking for. They are ladies in their early 20's looking for a great way to celebrate the pending birth. Maybe just do a few 'shower games', demo a simple recipe. I'd really like to feature ideas that would help the new mom???Perhaps focus on the ease of use with our products, maybe products for making baby food, storing and heating quick dinners, etc?? Maybe a list of useful products and suggestions for using them. I get the feeling that they want to all buy PC products for her. I just never thought of PC and a baby registry. Hmmmm

Power cooking would be a good option to demo. Mom-to-be could make a few meals ahead of baby time to help out. Plus, lots of products are kid friendly as the baby grows.

I remember hearing that someone (I want to say Feriale Yan) does "Stork the Freezer" shows, or something along that lines. Try doing a search for strok to see what comes up.

I did check files for "stork" and found a great baby shower flyer and I found a neat invitation you could print. What a great idea! I saw a post here in the last week about a baby shower where they did power cooking and thought that was great. My husband would have loved to have ready made meals in the freezer..my second baby was emergency c-section and I was in for 5 days with him. I would have loved to have had them in the freezer 'cause I was on restrictions with other complications...I just tried the beef recipes last weekend and they really are easy. My favorite so far is the Zesty Tacos. I'm actually making taco salads tho and love them!!!

Have you ever seen the list of products with alternative uses for parents?? (using the twixit clips to make an impromptu bib) That flyer's been around..if you need it, i can find a copy and send it to you but it will be when I get done from work b/c I don't have it with me.

I think a power cooking show is a great idea. And talk about the DCB for quick and EASY healthy meals, both now (when as a new mom time is limited) and in the future (when time is limited for other reasons).
Also we have lots of kid friendly products..... the E.S.P. (the only way DD would eat bananas for yrs & she could slice them herself), the food chopper (to hide veggies), the new steamer (for pureeing & making baby food),my safe cutter.

I'd focus on as a new mom "X" wants to be sure that she & her family are eating healthily & with safe tools. (Prep bowls for food storage insteadof plastic containers), silicone scrapers that won't habour bacteria, the salad spinner (to effectively clean fruits, berries, veggies), cookware (Exec finish won't scrape off into food & stainless has no non-stick coating). Bamboo (eco-friendly) to preserve the planet for the next generation. Etc....

ok, i am bored so I looked it up. if you go under files and type "baby" it was the first thing that came up, products for a baby shower or something.

it also comes up if you type in parents. they don't have the egg slicer plus in there, though. it's a must-have, along with the quick-stir pitcher.

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. The flyer is awesome but a few items are changed so I updated it. Here's the new one. Thanks SO much to the original poster!!

I also posted another flyer that I found in my files - again, not my original idea!

ETA: I noticed that the tips flyer needed updating too so I did that and reposted it.

Great ideas. Thanks!
