Surprise Party Fun

Hear is a great Surprise Party Idea:
All the players sit in a row. The first player on the left side whispers something in his neighbor's ear. The latter transmits it to his neighbor's ear and so on. The first player on the right side announces aloud the word or the phrase that came to him. Then the player who started the game announces the word or the phrase with which he began the game. At times the distortion may be very funny! After each "call" the players must exchange their seats so as everybody can act as the first player on the left side and the first player on the right one.

Printable Baby Shower Games and Ideas
Current busy life-styles make it a smart move to use printable baby shower games. It's a great time saver. Showering the Mom and sometimes the Dad with friendship and love is the purpose of a baby shower. So less stress and more time with them by being organized in setting up the baby shower can create a happier time of the party.
Many people are electing to hold the shower after the birth of the baby. This way the appropriate clothing can be given. It also gives Mom an easy way for many people to see the baby at one time. (This eliminates a constant stream of visitors right after the baby is born, when both Mother and baby need their rest.) Check with the mother-to-be to see when she would prefer a shower.

History of Birthday Parties
In the beginning, it was royalty that first celebrated birthdays. Having a party was a way to ward off the evil spirits, since one is surrounded by family and friends in a celebration of life. These evils spirits were thought to be more active on the day of ones birth. A celebration or gathering became a protection from harm. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer. Later in Germany, children were included in the birthday parties. And so began birthday parties! Now kids birthday parties contain lots of great party themes.
