Big City Moms held the Biggest Baby Shower in NYC for hundreds of expecting moms and their friends. Celebrity guests included Snookie – who was on hand to sign copies of her new book Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama and all the Messy Milestones Along the Way.
Last week, Lady and the Blog had the opportunity to attend Big City Mom’s annual Biggest Baby Shower event to check out the latest and greatest in baby gear. With over 100 vendors in attendance, the Biggest Baby Shower is a one-stop shop to test out and get educated on everything you need to prepare for baby’s arrival from strollers and swings to play mats to bottles and everything in between you will need for baby. In addition to testing the latest and greatest in baby gear, Biggest Baby Shower features five panels on a wide range of topics so you and your spouse prepare for all of the challenges and changes that come with the arrival of your new baby. Altogether this is a fabulous opportunity to explore baby gear and take some of the guesswork out of preparing for a baby and maybe walk away with some prizes to boot!

The higher the level of ticket you purchase, the earlier you will be admitted to the event and the more exciting your gift bag will be at the end. This year, the Big City Moms Ultimate Ticket level gift bag included a Lillebaby carrier and a Peg Perego Rialto Booster seat.
