Shibori Dye Baby Onesies
Salty Canary shows how they dyed Shibori onesies at her baby shower in this post. The guests helped dye onesies as well as burp cloths and swaddles that had been used and stained.

Have a Display Baby Shower
A Daily Dose of Mom suggests having a display shower in this post. The idea is that you can skip the long and nerve-wracking present opening. Guests bring their gifts unwrapped and display them on a gift table. That way all of the guests can see the gifts but don’t have to sit through the unwrapping etc.
