Planning the goody bags was the fun part! I had moms/babies invited from each stage. So I labeled their goodies by the colors of the Gerber stage that they were in! Thanks Gerber for the party!

My party was great, like everyone else the goodie bags were a big hit. We played the Milestone Game and learned a lot, even some of us moms on our second kids that thought we knew it all :o) I had food for the adults and then we let the kids try the different foods. The yogurt was a big hit along with the puffs. We even had a few that tried the baby food. Everyone ate it all up! The strawberry milk drink in my house party box didn't go over as good. The kids took a few sips but no one actually finished it. Must be because it is actually good for them. I noticed the 60% less sugar label and realized most kids are probably used to sugary juice drinks so they were kind of turned off. I think after some time though you could get them to drink it. Maybe the drink is more for kids just starting out with flavored drinks. Its a better alternative than juice. I too handed out the goodie bags half way through the party so that moms could swap what they needed based on the stage of their little one. The coupons were a great welcome to the parents also. I mentioned this before but I wish there were YogurtMelts in the party packs!!! Those things are the best for kids and moms alike. Strange enough some moms had never had them, but those of us that had definitely talked them up. I can definitely say we convinced more people to buy them even though we didn't have them to sample. All in all Gerber did a wonderful job in preparing me to host the party. The information online and in the party pack was great. Having the games available was also a great help as it was one less thing I had to prepare for the party, plus it looked professional. Gerber has always been a namebrand I choose and trust and being able to share that with other mothers in a fun way was fabulous. If I had to say anything, I would say after my party the amount of yogurt (both stages), puffs and yogurtmelts sold in the area should go up!!!! Those items were talked about the most and the kids just devoured them. Its good to know that something good for them is what they WANT to devour!

What a fun party! We had 6 moms, 2 dads and 10 kids. We had a few cancellations due to illness, but I'll be seeing those moms soon to give them their goody bags. I think the cutest part of the party was when Olivia was feeding the other Olivia some Gerber Puffs! The moms enjoyed playing the Milestones Jeopardy Game and also enjoyed their prize! Thank goodness the Dads were there to watch the kids while we got to discuss all the great products Gerber sent. Some moms even added some of their favorite Gerber products that they had in their diaper bags to my display. It was informative and fun! Thanks Gerber!!!!!! On a side note, after reading the descriptions and looking at all the great products I have a question. I noticed that the cereal and some of the other products with DHA have tuna oil listed as an ingredient. This concerns me as I have many food allergies, including a fish allergy, and I thought giving babies fish before they are one was frowned upon? I will be waiting for sure since we have a family history of severe food allergies, but was wondering how tuna oil could be ingredient for baby food (I know of the many benefits of fish oils, but I'm a little concerned about giving a baby this ingredient- please enlighten me - perhaps I need to call the Gerber support line!!!!) Thanks again for a wonderful party!!!!!

What a wonderful house party! The kids love all the Gerber products we were given to sample. Are those puffs the greatest things or what?!? The coupons to give out were such a blessing to a lot of people too. Thanks again for the opportunity!

Our Gerber Party was a huge success! The kiddos had a blast tasting the yogurt and my guests were sooo impressed with their gify packs. They couldn't believe all they received. By far the best party yet!

The party was AMAZING. Had a few guests show up unplanned and a few guest cancel suddenly, but it all worked out. I know all the moms (and Dads!! I had Dads!!!) loved the party packs and had an awesome time.
