The Price is Right: Baby Edition

My youngest sister, Becca, is pregnant with her first baby. My other sister, Caroline, and I hosted a baby shower in her honor.  When she was a child, Becca loved "The Price is Right" with Bob Barker and so Caroline came up with the best baby shower ever: making Becca be the contestant on the show!

We organized four games: One Right Price, the Grocery Game, Hole in One, and Cliffhanger. All the products that Becca had to play with were, of course, baby products! 

I was "Bob Barker" and Caroline and Korey (one of Becca's friends from high school) were the Barker Girls.  As I read off the product description, Korey would demonstrate how to use the product--quite funny when I was reading the benefits of Medela Tendercare Nipple Relief.   

For the "One Right Price", Becca was shown two products and she had to decided which product was the displayed price.  

The next game was the "Grocery Game." We had four baby products, including Rice Cereal, what I called the "San Francisco Treat"  because Rice-a-Roni was always on TPiR.  Here, she had to purchase the products, getting between $20 but not over $21.  Becca was made it with $20.71 with 4 No More Tears shampoo, 2 baby powders, 2 rice cereals, and one jar of baby food. 

Next came "Hole in One"-- Becca had to put in order from least expensive to most expensive five things.  She got three out of the 5 products in the correct order.  She made the hole in one and "won" a new car.......seat!

The last, and in my opinion the best game, was Cliffhanger.  She was shown three products and had to guess what the cost was.  However much she was off the climber moved the appropriate amount of spaces up the mountain. And of course we had the yodeling music!  The best part, besides the music, was our "mountain climber": a pregnant lady waddling up the slope.

Becca played each game for a lucky member of the audience, each name drawn out of a bag. The presents were renewable, reusable, recyclable gifts.  We are saving the world for the next generation.

Becca had a wonderful time; the "audience" has a marvelous time; and, dare I say, Caroline and I threw a great baby shower.  Just remember to spay and neuter your pets!
