inchies as shower activity???

[stellato_escuro]

First, short background. I am not super girly, and have tons of male friends, so I am already set for a very non-traditional, co-ed baby shower. So instead of the usual games (that I hate, hate, hate) I wanted to have some sort of craft/activity. My family and friends run the gamut from uber-crafty to can't-operate-gluestick. So onsie decorating would be way too much for many of them, even with paint pens. Oh, and there will be small kids around. And knowing my friends, it will be a very casual, come when you can, eat when you want type thing.

For those of you unfamiliar, inchies consist of taking a 1" square piece of paper or heavy card an decorating it. I was considering making them 2" to be a bit easier on everyone. I envision a table with pre-cut inchies, glue, paper scraps, drawing tools and stickers. Nothing crazy, just enough for everyone to decorate a bit. I would have information on the table as well as some "examples" so I am not stuck explaining it a billion times. In the end, I would arrange and glue them all together as art for the nursury.

So the question is, am I insane? Or is this a good idea?

I think that is a great idea. And 2" sounds good, just in case people only feel like doing one.

I think it's a great idea!  Maybe you'd want to have some baby/parenting magazines available for folks to cut up too? Not to put pressure on you, but I'd love to see pictures of the final project.

I will so post pictures. But being the freak I am, I am planning waaaaaaay in advance...the party isn't until September.  Can you tell I am a bit excited?

If you know your nursery colors or theme, you might be able to ge art that really matches the decor?!
