Long Distance Shower

Have a gift wrapping shower! Everyone loves to see what the mommy to be and baby get! Pick up gift bags, wrapping paper, tape, scissors, ribbon , etc. and have everyone show up with their gifts UNWRAPPED. Everyone gets to see what baby & mommy is getting! Make sure you video tape so the new mom can see everyone celebrating her new baby. While the shower goes on call the mom to be on the phone and pass it around - how much fun to be able to talk to everyone that is so far away all at once.

You don't need to plan any games since everyone can walk around, see all the presents and then spend time wrapping the gifts. Everyone could bring a monetary donation for the shipping and put one person in charge of it. Then the gifts go off and the mom gets to unwrap them herself!

My family has done this for long distance wedding showers also, everyone has a great time!
