I think it is more fun when it is smaller scale and manageable with family and few friends.
My dd is born in April. When I was expecting her our office had an egg hunt on our office parking lot for the employees. (mostly women in this dept) You can imagine what a sight I must have been ready to have a baby in a few weeks walking around looking for eggs. I didn’t find even one because all my athletic coworkers were moving around faster than I was. It was still fun.
