Pictures of the baby shower to come tomorrow! Until then, here’s my solution to one of the party problems.
When I was searching for “baby shower playlists,” pretty much the only ones that came up were songs with the words “baby” or “babe” in them. Come on, baby showers, let’s be a little more original. I put together a playlist that is mellow enough to be background music, but fun and playful and whimsical enough to stand on their own at the same time. Most of them, though not directly about parents or babies, give the feel of imagination or parent/child love. Give them a whirl and see what you think.
