I agree about not enjoying the games. Guess the older I get I just want to have punch watch the gifts being open and then visit a little then go home!

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 had a drawing at my daughter's shower to win a $10 gift card. We put a blurb in the invitation that if you brought any size pack of diapers you would be entered in a drawing. We actually pulled three names and gave away three $10 gift cards to Panera Bread. 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!

Yes, I gave a prize for the most remembered. It's funny what people think they remember. What are you doing for prizes? Like I say, we are working on shower for #2. Never know what to give for prizes. Gift cards are good.

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.

A cute thing at one I went to was a pin made of flannel that was givin to each person when they arrived. It was a diaper and the one with the mess inside got a prize. It was just mustard.

You are not alone. What is it about showers that makes grown people want to play games? Any other adult gathering, no one brings up games. I like to just visit with people.
