I always like to see all the cute little clothes that come to a baby shower. I hang a clothesline and use clothespins to hang each cute little outfit for display for all to enjoy. The line can usually go near a wall or can be attached to the front of a table.

Go to www.lilluna.com at the top of the page click on Freebies and go to page 9. The Candy Bar Game is fun. We played it at my DIL's shower.

We Also asked in the invitation to bring a children's book or baby book instead of a card and to sign the inside of the book. Everyone did it and my daughter has quite a collection of books to read to the baby!

I agree about the games. I think the onesie decorating and headband construction activities are something that can be done - if anyone feels like it. The girls coming and co-hosting are all at least 30 years my junior, so they may have something else in mind.
