Apologies to our shower my baby customers who experienced problems making payments on Monday 25th March 2013. This was due to the online Worldpay banking system being down for most of the day. Worldpay, which used to be owned by RBS plc is one of the largest processing companies in the world and operates in over 40 countries and has until yesterday an excellent service record. Hence shower my baby has chosen them to handle securely it’s card processing operations for many years. The system is now back to normal and no security issue with card details occurred, as expected from a company of it’s size and reputation. They are undergoing a full investigation.

Baby Showers Hit British Wallets!
After Halloween and the school prom, there is now another trend coming across the Atlantic and hitting British wallets – And this is Baby Showers.
The originally all-American celebration made popular by shows such as Friends, has gathered pace among British women and it is now being the norm to have a baby themed party before the birth as part of the whole pregnancy experience. This is being made even more popular and a British must have as we see that Pippa Middleton is planning a baby shower for her sister Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge.
Women spend a nappy-filling £220 million a year on baby shower gifts, baby shower decorations, drinks food and of course the all important glamorous outfit to wear for the occasion.
It is of course lovely to take a gift to any party so for a baby shower, why not take a gift for Mum To Be as the baby will receive so many gifts from well wishers and family when he or she is born. Mum To Be will be delighted to receive a pamper voucher that she can use to treat herself once baby is born. Or perhaps some lovely pampering organic products for her to use on herself. Go on spoil her rotten!
Could It Be Our First Royal Baby Shower?
It’s looking like we might have our first ever Royal Baby Shower as Pippa Middleton is said to be planning one for her sister Kate.
If so, Kate Middleton, 31 will be the 1st Royal in history to have a baby shower hosted for her and this will be thanks to her sister Pippa. As we know, organising parties is not a new task for Pippa Middleton as she is well known for releasing a book last year called Celebrate, which is all about event planning.
The Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth in July this year so Pippa is planning to host the party for Kate in may and is hoping that this will take place in the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
Kate, like any expectant mother will be very excited and having a baby shower seems to be the modern thing that we now do here in the UK. And as we all know, Kate wants her life to be as normal as it can possibly be given her position.
A baby shower for Kate will be a lovely occasion, celebrating the imminent arrival of a royal child. The question is – how do you find a baby shower present that Kate doesn’t already have?
New Egg and Sperm Race!
Pin the tail on the donkey has had an official revamp for the baby shower community. The classic game has now been evolved into a game for adults to play too!
This game requires you to pin the sperm onto the egg. Simply write your guests names onto the individual sperm stickers and hand to each player. Blindfold each player in turn and turn them around once or twice. Have them step forward and using only one hand, stick the sperm onto the poster bearing in mind that you need to be near the blue egg. After each player takes a turn, the one who sticks the sperm nearest to the egg is the winner. A brilliant way to bring the life (literally!!) to any Baby shower party.
