We’re launching our monthly tips contest here at GirlfriendCelebrations! Each month we’ll be seeking the best party planning or female-bonding tip and awarding a fabulous prize. For January 2006, we’re taking inspiration from our girlfriend Kate, who asked us for non-traditional baby shower ideas. We admit we were stumped, so we’re turning this query over to you, our girlfriends!

Let’s face it: Even if you never plan to have a baby yourself, sooner or later, a woman you know will be pregnant–and what if she’s the type who abhors the usual pink-and-blue, gift-opening, ladies-who-lunch-style baby shower? There must be another way. We’re looking for your non-traditional baby shower ideas–anything from the entire party theme to unique locations, activities or party favors. We’ll select the best idea at the end of the month.

Our January prize is a great pampering package from Bath and Body Works, so put your thinking caps on! Just click on our contest page for the details and to enter. (no comments on this post please–we don’t want any of your great ideas to get misplaced.)
