Love all the party ideas. Awesome. Hey Chris. I have a dilemma. I am having a baby shower for my daughter. It her 2nd baby. Its a football/shower party the end of November. I was just wondering how I should decorate. I dont know if I should put a lot of baby decorations around or not. The babt theme is also sports. Not sure what to do. I would love some of your talented advice. Thanks so much.
