Plan with a theme in mind ... In choosing words for your puzzle, consider the theme of the shower. Is the mother expecting a boy and the shower decorations are blue and yellow with a puppy dog theme? Perhaps it's a baby girl, instead, and pink and green are used with a theme of ballerinas. Considering the theme gives you ideas for words to include in your puzzle. Make a list of words ... Words like "bibs, diapers, rattle, crib, formula" are pretty common for baby shower puzzles. Why not include a few special words, like names of the Mom, Dad, and siblings, the new baby's name and the birth month. You can also use words that fit the theme of the nursery decor -- fairies, firetrucks, frogs, puppies and princesses! Design your puzzle ...

Once on the site, you'll decide on a title for your puzzle (Welcome Baby Zoe, etc.) the size of your puzzle (number of lettlers per row), whether or not key words will overlap in the search, and how you want to print out the puzzle. Printing the puzzle ... Print out a sample copy first, on plain paper, and work it yourself to make sure everything is correct. Once you proof it, choose a colorful paper that matches the shower theme, if possible. Always print a few extra copies, and be sure to save one for the baby-shower scrapbook. Baby Shower Ideas
