Hii, dear friends of Hive and the #ThrowbackThursday community.
On this #TBT, I want to tell you about the first time I organized a surprise baby shower for a very special friend.
Last year, a dear friend returned from abroad and decided to move back with her husband because she wanted to start a new life here with a surprise on board. To everyone's surprise, they returned with a new addition—she was pregnant!
All her friends and family were very happy. As the months went by, she mentioned to me that although she would like to have a baby shower, she didn't think she could do it because it meant spending money that she could save for when her baby was born.
Holaa queridos amigos de Hive y de la comunidad #ThrowbackThursday
En este #TBT, quiero contarles de la primera vez que organicé una especie de baby shower sorpresa para una amiga muy especial.
El año pasado, regresó una querida amiga del exterior, decidió devolverse con su esposo, porque quería rehacer su vida aquí con una sorpresa a bordo. Para sorpresa de todos, regresaron con un nuevo integrante, ¡Ella estaba embarazada! Todos sus amigos y familia estábamos muy felices, fueron pasando los meses y, en una salida, me comentó que aunque le gustaría tener un baby shower, no creía que pudiera hacerlo porque significaba un dinero que podía guardar para cuando naciera su bebé.
So, I got to work, gathered some friends, one of whom lent me his house, set a date, and began the preparations. Although I initially thought of it as a casual and simple gathering, it ended up being a full-fledged baby shower.
Y entonces, me puse manos a la obra, junté a unos amigos, uno de ellos me prestó su casa, le pusimos fecha y empezaron los preparativos. A pesar de que en un principio lo pensé como una reunión casual y sencilla, terminó como todo un baby shower.
You have no idea how much fun I had planning everything. I didn't have a lot of resources, but as they say, “you make do.” I bought a tablecloth, balloons, and cardboard, and I made a garland and a sign, all blue, with an elephant theme. I think it turned out really cute.
We made sweet and savory cookies, popcorn, and cakes. Everyone contributed some food or drink to share and brought gifts. We played games, like measuring the belly with a candle, which was very funny. We even played one of my favorite games, JENGA.
No saben cómo me divertí planeando todo, no tenía muchos recursos pero, como dicen por ahí "uno resuelve". Compré un mantelito, globitos, cartulina e hice una cadeneta y una cartelito, todo azul, con temática de elefante, la verdad creo que quedó bonito.
Hicimos galletas dulces, saladas, cotufas y tortas, todos colaboraron con alguna comidita o bebida para compartir y le llevaron regalitos. Hicimos juegos, como el de medirle la panza con un pabilo, fue muy cómico, hasta jugamos uno de mis juegos favoritos JENGA.
My friend had a great time, and the plan worked because she wasn't expecting it. The only downside was that her husband couldn't attend because he was working, but we definitely had a very nice afternoon. It feels amazing to do something for a friend, doesn't it? It still makes me feel good to remember that day.
Mi amiga se lo pasó muy bien y el plan funcionó porque no se lo esperaba. Lo único malo fue que su esposo no pudo asistir porque estaba trabajando, pero sin duda pasamos una tarde muy agradable.
Es maravilloso hacer algo por una amiga, ¿verdad? Todavía me siento bien al recordar ese día.
