Time Capsule Baby Shower Game

Are you looking for fun, unique games to play at your baby shower? I know this will be one you have never heard of, because I dreamed about it the other night, as I am getting excited to be a part of my sister-in-laws baby shower soon.

This is a great baby shower game that may take a couple of days or hours to set up, but a game that will be memorable. You will end up wanting to play this at every baby shower you go to after doing this. It is so unique.

Items Needed and Steps to Do this Memorable Game:

• Baby Time Capsule from http://www.timecapsule.com/product/babystimecapsule/.

• Photos of the husband and wife showing different places they have visited or things they have done together.

• If you start this game before the baby shower event, make sure to send out RSVP cards along with instructions of how to play the game. Also be sure to ask each guest to bring one item, like newspaper clippings, headlines from popular magazines, current CD’s and popular music of the day, trends, coins, baby books or lists of popular baby names of this year, to put in the baby time capsule. Then when at the baby shower, you can have a show and tell time, about what item your brought and why or what is the special meaning behind it for this year when the baby is being born.

• Make sure you save your gas receipt as you are driving around finding your geocache, so you can show how the prices of gas, when the child was born. Won’t that be interesting to read 20 years from now.

• Blank note cards to write clues on, directing someone to the next clue.

• Have several Easter eggs or something small to put your geocache items in, then hide them throughout your building or the yard where you are hosting the baby shower. You could even have the guests start the game before arriving at the baby shower, and visit favorite places, restaurants, stores, etc of where the happy couple first met, went on a date, first kissed, etc to find geocache clues to lead to the next clue or place to collect an item. Then as they collect each item, have them bring them to their end location of this geocache scavenger hunt and put the items in the Baby Time Capsule. Then the host can wrap the time capsule as a gift for the guest of honor (pregnant mother) to open. What a way to be a part of this child’s life story, before he or she is even born.

• Put clues in the small geocache containers, along with strings attached to the coordinating picture of the couple. Bring the pictures and the item found in each geocache container to the baby shower.

• You could have clues lead the guests to baby stores to collect or buy a baby item, or lead them to places like the park, to take a picture of themselves as guests coming to the baby shower. The ideas are endless of where to hide the geocache clues. For example, you could have one clue saying something like, “it is where you will be changing your diapers when shopping and where __________ (insert the name of who the baby shower is for) used to work.” Then you would drive to the store of where she worked, and look in the bathroom for the next clue.

• Make sure to have each guest at the baby shower, fill out a “Message to the Future” letter with predictions, advice, tips, or funny stories to share with the future child to be born. What a special moment it will be when the baby opens their time capsule (like when he or she graduates high school), and reads all these treasured letters from each of you from the baby shower. You could also record a video on You Tube or burn a CD with audio messages from family and friends, for the baby to watch or listen to years later. Now that will be a sweet and sentimental moment to preserve forever.

• The last clue will lead to the building where you are having the baby shower, or the main place where you are hiding the Baby Time Capsule in the building (if you are keeping all your clues in the same building).

• Then put all your items collected in the Baby Time Capsule and have the host wrap the time capsule as a present to give to the new mommy to be.

• This is one activity or game at a baby shower, that is sure to bring back happy memories of this day for years into the future.

• When this perfect baby shower gift is opened by the soon mother to be, then she can add other items from the first year of the baby’s life, like their first baby pacifier, hospital bills, list of baby birth details like time born and weight, security blanket, and other keepsake photos from milestone moments of the first year. Then, years later in the future (like when the child graduates high-school), he or she will open their very own Baby Time Capsule. What a memorable moment that will be.

Father’s Day Keepsake Gifts

Happy Father’s Day Dad: Father’s Day Keepsake Gifts

Father’s day is just around the corner. What are you going to do? Why not create something different this year, and make it an unforgettable gift that lasts a lifetime.

Record your memories in a book, scrapbook, audio file, etc. That is what a dad really wants – to know he is loved and appreciated.

There are so many stories I remember with my father, like helping make homework fun, to the point that now I love math. I used to cry myself through the math homework, but because of my father’s patience and creativity, he took on my challenge to turn math into games, to help me remember better. What do you remember the most about your father?

How to Remember and Thank your Father

Not everyone will have a happy Father’s day. For some it is a painful reminder that dad is no longer around. It does not have to be that way though. You can still honor your dad by leaving a legacy and telling your children stories about their grandfather. Create a memory book for him. While you miss your father, help yourself through the continued grieving journey and explain to your children what all you learned from him, passing on his wisdom, insight, funny stories or jokes.

Thank your Father with Photos and Memories – Help Keep Traditions Alive

Whether your dad is with you still or not, plan the best Father’s day this year with a gift of shared stories and mementos. Create a gift to pass on from one generation to another, telling your father’s history and contribution to your family. Create a time capsule for your dad.

What to Put in a Time Capsule for your Dad. Make Unique Father’s Day Keepsake Gifts.

A time capsule for your father, is the most personalized gift you will ever give him. You can make this a family gift, having your mother or siblings help, or make is special only from you. Look around your house, your mother’s house, in your old photo albums, in his secret cave man rooms of fun, to find things to put in the time capsule. Ask family members and his own friends to fill out letters or “Message to the Future” notes about where they predict he will be later on in life.

Other Things to Include in Dad’s Time Capsule

• Stories about funny or sentimental moments you had with your father (written or voice recorded).

• Then and Now photos of your father.

• Written letters to him about milestone moments in his life or how he was there for you in your life for meaningful events.

• Include an “All About my Dad” worksheet to fill out for family members.

Download this FREE Printable “All About My Dad” for you kids to have fun filling out. Get it at http://allforthememories.com/blog/2011/6/7/free-fathers-day-printable.html

• Play a practical joke on him, and put it in the time capsule. You know you owe him for all the jokes he played on you.

• Include your dad’s favorite magazine or newspaper in the time capsule (so when he opens it about 20 years later, he can read about his interests in the past and what life was like then at that time.)

• Current photos of your dad’s house, before he does anymore remodeling. You could also include a picture of his current car he is driving, which will change in the future.

• School projects or drawings from you or your siblings of your dad or made for your father.

• Ticket stubs from special movies seen, or places you went with your father.

• Anything special from his job, to show his accomplishments in life at this time.

These are just a few suggestions to get you started on such a memorable activity and gift for Father’s day. You could even have fun and hide the time capsule in your home, then set up a geocaching game to have him find his own gift, then open the time capsule to see what is inside. Keep in mind, this time capsule can be closed again after he opens it on Father’s day, to be displayed for several more years into the future, when you and your siblings get to decide when he opens it again. When he reopens the time capsule again, in the future, it will be like re-living and re-celebrating this Father’s day all over again. What a fun moment that will be to see whose predictions were right (in your letters), or to just listen to the stories all over again and see how much your dad has changed.
