Hi I'm 19/F. Haven't gone out for halloween in five years but this year my friends and I from college residence are going to go trick-or-treating!!!!

Nothing sexy. I want things that will hopefully keep me warm. Affordable. I'd look good as a hot cop but that will not get me candy at people's door.

Costumes are about 90 bucks in stores and websites. The only thing I could think of is paper bag princess. Any ideas? (link)
I don't work for these people nor have an connection to them but this party supply web site could help. They have costumes listed in categories such as kids, teens, adults, women, men and even plus size ideas. The good thing is the photos of each idea.

Maybe it will trigger something in you that you find tasteful rather than tasteless. Also, trust your own GUT and creativity. If you have an idea for Paperback Princess try running with it first. It may be the perfect costume in the end.

In Canada they have Fabricland where you can buy all kinds of fabrics to make all kinds of costumes and clothing cheaply. I don't know what they call these stores in the U.S. and abroad but once you get an idea for something you can think of how to put it together and buy rolls of fabrics cheaply as they must exist. You just need to know how to sow--that's the hardest part.


i am going through mental depression.i dont want to live more but i recently got married and i dont want my husband feel bad for my death.plz give me solutions what to do (link)
No matter what he will feel pain forever associated with such a thing. That's the burden those left behind never get over.

You are obviously in crisis where your mental illness is trying to convince you that suicide is the answer but it really isn't. You have to die to escape depression's clutches or so it's doing a number on your thinking.

Listen, I have been through hell with bipolar disorder twice. You simply can't give up like that. It's brutal dealing with a mental illness and a 24/7 job to get well and stay there. The fact is no matter what you have it does indeed get better and you can have that normal life or even better if you hang in there.

What you MUST do is tell your psychiatrist that the medication, therapy, and treatment is the wrong one for you and NOT working. Be honest about ending your life and enter into the hospital or go directly to the ER and tell them you cannot function and have desire to kill yourself and need help.

In the end through working with them and changing your medication, therapy, and counseling you can go from how you feel now to leading a productive life free of the frustrations you mention. You just have to reach out for help and accept that you need it, have to get it and that death isn't the answer to your problems. Believe me it's a horrible price to pay and your family will be permanently destroyed and husband in constant pain. You need help. Please get it. Think. Go to the ER tonight. Do yourself that enormous favor.

I'm here if you need any more help and need to vent. I can't promise to have all the answers but if anything I will listen. I've been there. There's another way.


I have a bullet vibrator and it got a short in the cord and I was wondering if there's a way I could fix that because it's annoying when it just shorts out when I'm in then middle of something and can't get it to work again. Also If there's any other ideas people have for clitoral stimulation because I dint have the money for a vibrator and using my hand gets very old after awhile. Anything helps, thanks. (link)
A lot of adult toys are crap and poorly constructed to begin with and not built to last. Unfortunately, yours sounds like it's on its last legs and set to be tossed.

When it comes to masturbation and sex in general we are forbidden to give people tips. There are minors here and that can get the site in hot water. That said, what one person enjoys as a technique may prove to do nothing at all for another.

One thing you should do is Google Talk Sex or Sunday Night Sex Show with Sue Johanson. Clips from it are abundant on the Internet. She does segments rating adult novelty items some of which weren't designed for this purpose at all that retail at Spencers (of all places) as well as those that are designed for that. She makes a habit of reviewing items that cost under $30.00 and trashing awful ones so maybe you'll find what you need from checking out her show.


12/F
Ok so i'm really sick and I went to the doctor today. They said I had to take medication for my lungs (pills) so I didn't make a big deal out of it.

Well, I have to take them for 5 days (once a day) because my lungs are like inflamed or something. I took my first one, and it tasted like puke! I'm not overreacting at all! And I didn't throw up in my mouth. I tried drinking AND eating something and the taste didn't go away. Nothing made it go away! I even tried plugging my nose.

What do I do? I have 4 days left and the taste just can't go away. And putting/mashing it in food won't help either. Please help me! Now i'm afraid i'll throw it up in my sleep or something ;( (link)
I would take the pills as prescribed and try brushing your teeth immediately afterward to get rid of the taste. You could also swish around some mouthwash in your mouth to rinse it out. That should take care of things nicely.

There's NO way that you will choke to death or throw up in your sleep. If you needed to vomit you would know you do and there simply is no two ways about that. Probably won't even happen.

Even if you threw up as long as it was more than 1 hr after taking the pills you are fine. A nurse once told me that's how long it takes for pills to digest in your system.


I met this really great guy who adores me. He is a genuinely good guy. We've been talking/dating for about 3 months now. I don't know if I want to be with him or not. He treats me with the utmost respect, and wants to meet my two year old daughter. He's great with kids, in school, never been in trouble, and working...but theres one problem. His pants are always practically at his ankles and I hate it. I've brought it up to him jokingly, but I don't know if he gets the hint. This really bothers me but is it worth giving up a good thing?

20/f (link)
Style can be fixed. Letting it bother you to the point you lose the perfect catch would be an epic failure on your part. Instead of joking about it approach it honestly.

Tell him you are concerned that people will perceive him as immature or whatever else bothers you about his style and tell him it's not a personal attack. You just know that wearing his pants below his ass isn't how a 20-year-old should be dressing. It's how a 13-15-year-old might.

You need to take him shopping and get him looking more put together and sophisticated. I'm sure he will appreciate that and honestly tell him that this bothered you so much you almost didn't commit to a relationship.

If he's perfect in every single way and unlike most guys wants your daughter in his life than keep him because a lack of style is something easily fixed if you show him how to dress and what your turn on and turn offs are and point out in general that it bugs other girls, friends and maybe even his employer. Be blunt as he'd rather be educated than stumble along with it.


Well I'm 12 and I'm getting like wet stains on my panty and it smells like pee but its not! I've gone through everything in puberty already and I've obviously never had sex but I do finger myself what is it! (link)
I'm not sure it's urine or not either. I think there's a strong possibility if it's cream colored or slightly yellowish that it's normal vaginal discharge. It could be happening as that usually occurs before menarche (first period) and ovulation.

In that case it's normal and best to carry a liner to absorb. However, you should tell your mother, a sister, aunt or trusted older female about this and how long it's been happening to figure out what it is. They could take you to a doctor if need be.

As far as masturbation goes it can't hurt you and won't cause this kind thing at all. You can relax about that.


I am a 24-year-old virgin. I'd never met a man previously that interested me in that way, but recently I have started seeing someone who does. We have fooled around a bit and I told him that I was a virgin, he said he didn't think it was weird or anything, but... I'm curious about the general opinions guys have for virgins, especially at an older age (24)? Does this negatively effect how you would perceive them? Does it positively effect your perception?

Also, I'd like to mention that I am not a virgin for religious reasons. I've had opportunities to have sex and wouldn't have felt guilty about it because I think it's wrong or anything. I am just choosy, I guess. (link)
I have utmost respect for someone who waited for exactly the right person and didn't settle for less. It shows a lot of responsibility, character, and maturity. Age at first intercourse experience doesn't mean anything. Nothing weird about being 24 or younger.

It's about truly being ready and like I tell everyone else it's not a right of passage thing you must reach by a certain age. We're all ready when we're ready.


My boyfriends birthdays coming up in December and I wanna get him an iPhone 4 it costs $299, the only problem I have is I have $10 and I'm having some troubles making enough money. I've already been applying for jobs but no ones called me back. Can someone help please (link)
Your heart is in the right place but your finances aren't. You have done what you could in applying for jobs. You could still land one as it does take time.

Unless you handed your resume to a manager or key person where you applied it's best to go back and follow-up. They may get lots and employees usually never forward stuff to managers anyway. Walk in and ask for the manager/owner of where you have applied and introduce yourself.

Tell them you put in a resume and wanted to follow up because you really wanted to work there. That kind of thing can sometimes get you hired on the spot. Don't be afraid to do that.

Where exactly are you focusing your search? If I were you I would try your local movie theater and walk in and talk to a manager about employment. They typically have a revolving door with staff because most are teens giving up summer jobs and need replacement box-office, concession and floor staff. Pretty easy to land a job with them. Also fast-food places always need workers.

I don't want to dash your hopes but getting to $299.00 may be hard to accomplish as right now you only have $10 As much as you love your boyfriend and want to pull this off you have to realize he'll love anything you do and wouldn't want you going broke over a gift.

Another thing you can do is consult your parents. If you have been with his guy forever and it's a solid relationship tell your parents that if they're getting a Christmas gift for him you know he's interested in the I-Phone and see if they will put money in with yours to get him that gift from all of you.

I've also got to tell you that getting an Iphone 4 isn't a good idea. For one thing the Iphone 4 is now obsolete with the Iphone 5 being the one to have and the Iphone 4S being the most recent and best one until the 5 came out last week.

An Iphone 4 shouldn't be bought at this point as it lacks the power and features of the 4S and the new I Phone 5. It shouldn't cost $299. I guess you meant the 4S model at $299.00

Even so WAIT. If you are going for the 4S wait until November or early December because the price you have to pay for one now is going to drop substantially as retailers focus solely on selling as many of them off as they can so they can then focus on selling only the I phone 5. Talk to your parents and do more research into phone contracts and deals for this.


I filled out a study abroad application a few weeks back for a study abroad course for Theology 101. Our interviews were a few days ago and we do not find out about whether we were accepted or not until around this Wednesday.

The problem: when I wrote my essay and while I was at the interview I thought the interviewers were seeking students who had a strong Roman Catholic background as they would probably benefit more from the course abroad, so I went that route since I am Roman Catholic; however, the problem lies in the fact that I also identify myself as an Agnostic but I did not say anything about it in my essay or at the interview since I thought they were seeking strong Catholics.

The root of this problem lies in the fact that I spoke with someone who applied for the same course last year and she said almost everyone who applied said they were Catholic and the ones who said they were of a different faith background were automatically accepted to increase diversity within the program.

I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place right now and I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to sound fickle to the interviewers, but I misinterpreted what kind of applicants they were seeking. I'm not any less of a Catholic than I let on but I am also an Agnostic and I am not sure if I should just let it slide or if I should inform the interviewers before Wednesday about this situaton.

Thanks! (link)
The thing is neither you nor your friend are the recruiters here. You honestly have no idea how they are going to perceive you or select someone for the program abroad.

The thing is they will either accept and or reject people based on the essay and meeting you and NOTHING else. It's in-fact illegal for them not to pick someone based on what religion or belief you hold that may contrast there's. It really has no weight on you being chosen.

Your religious bent is your own business and not there's period! They didn't ask about it and legally cannot so why make it an issue when it isn't? How do you know someone Roman Catholic would make a better candidate? It's all about your character that counts and whether it would suit you.

So, in short say absolutely NOTHING about this to recruiters or they will think you being overly concerned about that is pretty odd. Just relax and let the essay, your character, interest in the program speak for you. Then you'll know for sure your beliefs had no impact on their eventual choice. I wouldn't trust your friend's advice in this situation.


I am 17 years old and I love God with all of my heart. I also love my boyfriend with all of my heart.. In 2 weeks My boyfriend and I will have been dating for 2 whole years. I love him sooo much! And yes, we are intimate. We have been for most of our relationship. But the thing is, I feel REALLY guilty. Because I masterbate... more than a female should. I have this weird desire to watch massage videos. (inappropriate massages) such as a spycam massage and the masseuse is seducing them by rubbing them down there or massaging their boobs. idk why but it turns me on because i love that feeling of being rubbed down there. so then i masterbate while watching it. AND I FEEL GUILTY AS HELL because I have boyfriend!!! My boyfriend tells me that he never masterbates anymore because i basically do it for him. My bf definitely pleases me a lot.. but idk why i'd feel the desire to look up porn and masterbate..? I feel disgusting saying that because if you knew me you would never guess i do that. I'M A GIRL. like wtf. I just pray all the time that the desire to watch massage videos goes away. Because if i didn't watch massage videos, i wouldn't want to masterbate. And for some reason I'm scared that God will take my boyfriend away from me if i keep it up. like punish me or something and it scares me!!! I just want to show God how grateful I am to have my boyfriend! And masterbating is DEF not a way of showing thanks in ANY way. I'm so mad at myself... guys please help me :( I'm desperate. It's just that whenever I picture a massage video in my head or make up a scenario in head, there's no going back! No matter how hard I try, I will have to literally masterbate to get it out of my system... just help me. I wanna show apprectiation to God and my boyfriend. help guys asap (link)
Relax. You shouldn't be so hung-up over something that which is a normal and completely healthy activity for people of both sexes and all ages teens, adults, children. It's fine and any doctor will tell you it is and benefits people's health. Stats say 90% of males and 77% of females do of all ages.

Married people do it and people in relationships pretty often based on statistics. So, you having a boyfriend really doesn't matter as most people in committed relationships do male and female both and GOD isn't about to show wrath if you do either.

Desire to engage in it is perfectly normal as are sexual thoughts. This is a healthy way to deal with them actually rather than having sex. You can do it until your arms fall off and there's nothing wrong about it and frequency of engaging in it.

It's also only ever an issue if it's all you ever do or you don't go outside, be social with people, or exist apart from it and that it rules your life. That's extreme and not at all your situation.

Furthermore, porn is intended for adults 18+ but it's okay if certain things turn you on and it's viewed. However, the whole hidden camera massage thing is in fact wrong and even illegal if participants were filmed without their consent.

As such, I would stay far away from that type of pornography and viewing it if I were you but being curious in the past won't harm you though said films can the people in them. Mainstream pornography is different and I understand how you feel morally about the other type as do I.

So, to stop viewing the one that is wrong find something else to do or replace it with whenever you think about it. Over time the desire won't exist as you move on to something else that you won't feel conflicted about seeing.

As far a God thinking you're ungrateful for a boyfriend or will punish you over this I'm 100% sure that won't happen to you. Considering 90% of males and 77% of females engage in masturbation or have watched porn the whole world would be in dire trouble and nobody would be alive.

Just because you masturbate does not mean that you love God less, have done something wrong, or that you'll lose a boyfriend because of it. That's simply irrational line of thought. And it won't affect your teachings or relationships with God either. None of the religions says it wrong as the advice below mine reiterates.

What it boils down to is whether or not you enjoy masturbation and want to continue or not and that it's okay to have desires and act on them by doing it and okay if you don't.

It's safe and can't harm you and almost any doctor out there will tell you as much. It's something EVERYONE does but doesn't own up to. It's just whether you feel comfortable with it or not.

If you want to continue it's fine if not than don't but it cannot affect anything with GOD or your boyfriend.

A lot of people watch mainstream adult films (not the one's you mentioned conflict over) and it's okay to do so if you're 18+ as the people in the films are consenting performers and it's not hurting anyone.

It's not going to make God want to punish you as think about it most of society would be suffering affects of punishment by now for doing so. Not putting your religious beliefs down but no matter what you believe masturbation will not change your relationship with GOD period.

And, stats wise almost all males do it and are more open about it. Your boyfriend likely is and hasn't said so as it may bother you. It shouldn't and that's okay because it's not harmful to the relationship at all.

He probably hasn't been honest about it knowing this is how you view it to be. Nothing disgusting at all about doing it or about you. So, do relax about it because you're okay and God has far more pressing concerns than to come after you for what most of your peers and society are doing too ;) You're completely fine.


Hi guys. I have PPD (Paranoid Personalization Disorder). I'm paranoid about everything. If I think of something scary, I can't get that thought or image out of my head! I just can't help not thinking about it. It's like my body WANTS me to feel miserable. Anyways, I just really want to know how I can change this without medication. Please help!! (link)
This is a psychiatric disorder. It's not something that fades away with time. Right now you can't function properly and have paranoid fear about random things. That's cause for concern and seeking psychiatric support.

NOBODY likes medication but the fact is that it will make this problem dormant and not front and center so that it can't rule your life. Right now that's exactly what it is doing and it will get worse. For now medication is your best option and one you need to take.

You should talk to the psychiatrist and tell them that you can't function normally, are always fearful of random things and visualize frightening images in your head. Tell them medication scares you and have them walk through what your options are and what you need to do to get well. I haven't heard of any other way to tackle this that works long-term. Going off meds often leads people to crisis.


there is this guy I met and I thought he liked me because he would stare at me all the time and hang around me alot and it always felt awkward because he would hardly talk just say hi thats it so I thought I would start small talk with him to get a conversation going but he just give 1 or 2 word answers but he has a big smile on face though when i talk to him im so confused does he like me is shy or just being nice to me when i talk to him? (link)
Tell him the truth. Let him know you would like to get to know him better. Tell him "I don't know if you're shy, like me or what and I'm confused. I've tried talking with you but need more than a two word answer from you..."

Let him know that it's okay to feel shy and there's no embarrassment in letting someone know how you feel or in talking to you and that you want to know him better and to just relax. You won't hurt him.

I think that's what it is. He likes you or wants you as a friend but is petrified of doing any talking for irrational reasons such as sounding stupid or turning you off. You have to show him that you're a patient girl and willing to give him a chance but he has to give you more to work with. Just go to him with an "I'm confused.." conversation and see what happens. It'll get him talking freely.


How to turn on my boyfriend ?
and i want to have sex with him,but am scared!! any advice? (link)
If you are SCARED it means you aren't ready for sex yet and that's okay. What you have figured out is that you really want to with the right person who you have established is him. But.. you just don't feel ready for the experience just yet. And, that's okay.

I feel if you attempted it right now it would be an experience you wouldn't be ready for emotionally, physically and over all and may later regret especially if it didn't go smoothly.

What you should do is tell your partner that you have decided that you want him to be the one you experience sex with first but are scared about it and not ready yet. He will respect that. From there you can do more researching and planning and getting ready and safe.

You have to figure out what is scaring you exactly and get more information on sex and sexuality and try to become more comfortable before having a first experience. Waiting is your best option and it will be that much better when you know it's 100% the right time to engage.


this guy i like is in 7th grade and im in 8th and he looks at me sweetly like 7 to 6 times during resses and i cant tell if he likes me or not I really want to know if he likes me. Can anyone help? I'm 13 and female. (link)
Odds are he does. Guys just don't gaze at girls like that for no reason or follow them around like that. It's a strong probability he likes you but doesn't know how to approach you or what to do about his feelings. He's probably hoping you notice him so it's made easy for him.

If you like him you need to look before you leap and divulge that. You really need to approach him and ask about a friendship and see if you connect that way. Better yet if you want to evaluate whether he's the right person for you try inviting him out with you and your friends to a movie, bowling or whatever else comes to mind and see if he says yes. Anyone who doesn't like you won't go. If he really likes you he'll be tripping over himself to go. That way it's no real risk on your part or his. You're testing the water and eachother for compatibility.


Since I was 14, I've been depressed. I'm now 20 and it hasn't subsided. I was diagnosed as Bipolar II a year ago and I'm now on wellbutrin and lithium. It does seem to help a little, I am very happy sometimes. But I constantly feel guilty about stuff I did in the past, or how I spoke to someone recently, etc.. I get upset over small things and have numerous crying spells every week. I'm seeing a therapist now but I don't know if she knows the extent of how I'm feeling. I don't know how to convey my thoughts without sounding retarded or psychotic. Another thing, I'm always thinking about killing myself or other people who've pissed me off. I can't talk to her about that. I tried with another therapist and they threw me in a hospital. Men I used to be in a relationship with, who've done me wrong, have no idea that I have homicidal thoughts about them on a day to day basis. I'm tired of being like this. I'm tired of being angry and sad and guilty, and I'm tired of mistreating my friends and family but I'm so easily annoyed, I'm always snapping. Most importantly, I'm just tired of being like this over nothing. Nothing traumatic has happened in my life to upset me this much. Nothing huge, anyway. Just a few traitors and liars and schemers. Just a lot of people that did little things to me, but the little things pile up until I can't even see the details anymore, all I see is a wall of anger and hurt. How do I make it stop? Can anyone relate? (link)

I need to be blunt with you and I'm doing so to save you a world of pain and trouble later. I'm bipolar myself and know that the feelings you have of wanting to kill anyone no matter what they may have done is cause for alarm.

It's not normal thinking at all and psychotic to be sure. The only reason you have been in a hospital with your illness is because you absolutely needed to be there because you were unwell and of harm to yourself or others.

The crying spells aren't normal either, same with irritability and those who you think are scheming against you probably aren't. It's all part of your illness and what it makes you think.

I have to be honest with you. You are headed towards crisis. The only way to avoid a hospital stay at this point is to stop fooling yourself and realize you have a problem here that is adversely affecting life and health and that your thinking and actions right now aren't sound.

When it comes to a therapist they cannot do the job that is meant for a psychiatrist and put you on the right medication. If your medication isn't working you have to be 100% open about that to the doctor or you'll never be well. If they challenge you to do something you don't want to do it for your health.

You are wasting your time and your doctor's by not being truthful about your condition, thoughts, desire to harm those or kill those who harmed you etc. You can't be free of this without telling them. If you need hospitalization it's a temporary thing until you are well. Don't be scared of it.

As far as sounding psychotic which you are experiencing or "retarded" believe me you aren't as they've heard and seen it all. You need to be truthful and tell the therapist directly what you feel no matter what.

If you can't do that head to the hospital ER and tell them what's going on and get assessed. You have to do this and have no choice. It will get 100% worse over time if you don't.

You don't see it as most bipolar people won't but right now you're pretty sick and if left untreated you can slide back into mania again and full-out crisis. Look at these warning signs and get help now rather than in a crisis situation where you have no choice. What you need is a long rest and chance to sort this out. Nobody likes hospitals but they keep you safe. Work with the doctor and do what they ask and you'll stay well after this. Let me know what happens. While I haven't had the same thoughts I've been bipolar and in crisis so I do care.


Sir
plz give me some sujjestion to control the fast talking habit i am much problem due to this plz sujjest me to do some thing (link)
If your speech is so fast that you are tripping over words and are hard for people to understand there's a significant problem that could be medical and become worse if not addressed. If your thoughts also race it's quite a big concern.

Rapid speech is often associated with hypomania. While not dangerous it has to be monitored as it's the super-energetic undercurrent of bipolar disorder. A person will have racing thoughts, boundless energy, poor judgment, speech that is too fast and perhaps promiscuity, terrible mood swings, grandiose ideas etc as it worsens. Bipolar is when full on delusions are involved.

I'm pointing this out as it's something to be aware of and I'm not saying you have this but to rule it out as a cause. It doesn't mean that's what you are dealing with. It's best to consult your doctor about this as it's not normal for you to be speaking too fast and in general. Best to find out why you're doing it than to be sorry later on. It could be nothing but if it's a sudden thing you have to rule out all the reasons for it to have occurred with a doctor.


how should i ask my mom to put me on birth control. she has talked it about butting me on it becouse she found out that i have done stuff but never taken me to a doc or anything. im 16 and my boy friend is 18 we havent talked about even having sex but i want to be on the safe side and be on birth control. (link)
Put it in a note. She has already indicated that she would take care of this with you. While you both may be uncomfortable writing a note asking her to help you with it is best. It's better to be embarrassed momentarily here than pregnant because you didn't follow through with her. You're being responsible that way.

Just write a note saying "I know we spoke about this earlier and I just want to be honest 100% even though you may not agree with what I'm doing. I also want to be safe can you help me get on the right birth-control?" being honest with her and getting her help is best to keep you safe.

If you want to talk to her just be honest about everything and ask her to help you because you want to be safe not sorry. It's never going to be something free of embarrassment but it's best you talk to her and be honest. She may not like what you are doing but she's your mom and has offered to help before so she should be more receptive than you think.


Ok do today the boy I am partners with in math that I like walked with me to lunch. But while we were at lunch his friends turned around right I scratched the tip of my nose and moved a piece of hair from my eyes unattractively. Should I freak out???? Do I still have a chance? (link)
Are you being serious? I'm not mocking you but do you really think someone would stop liking you for brushing a piece of hair out of your eye? Secondly, he probably didn't even notice and if he had wouldn't have given it a thought.

I think you're getting paranoid over nothing fearing he won't like you because you want him to badly. Just relax or he will think you're acting strange. If you like him--tell him already as you're driving yourself nuts needlessly.

Think about it brushing a piece of hair away from one's face or eye is a normal thing everyone does. Why's it a big deal here? It's not to him. He's not concerned with it and you shouldn't be either.

It's not like you passed wind here. Things are fine. Relax. It's best you simply tell him how you feel so you can settle down as acting weird over this is something that would put someone off. Be your normal self.


How do i let someone no that i have a crush on them? (link)
Look before you leap. Make sure they like you first. A good way of finding that out is to invite this person out to hang with you and your friends be it at a movie, dance, bowling, or event etc where it's NOT considered a date. If he or she likes you they will go if he/she doesn't and has some kind of excuse you'll know they don't and can move on.

Trust me, if someone likes you back they will take the invitation. This way you don't embarrass yourself and it's less of a letdown as they didn't directly turn you down.

As far as telling someone goes NEVER let friends know anything about who you like nor have them tell the person. That's a clear way for things to implode. Do it yourself and just tell the truth. All they can say is yes or no and at least you will know where you stand either way.


Hello i am 18 and trying to plan a baby shower. Anybody had one or planned one that could help me out. Thank you in advance for any help.
P.S. the theme is princess, its a girl. (link)
One of the things you need to do is come up with a list of things this mom to be is definitely going to need and may not necessarily be able to purchase by herself. You may want to consult her on that.

Then when that's done go to a department store or a place such as Babies R US that sells these items and create a gift registry. Then in invitations list that she's registered with them (they'll have the list at the store) and they can buy whatever gifts people haven't already got her off the list.

The theme is a good one and that's where your creativity can really come in to play from wearing tiaras, dressing like storybook or fairytale princesses or what you and playing with that. Ask your mom what worked for her and tell her the idea or ask other females and see what they can add.
