boy, girl, not know yet, don't want to know? come on give up the details. lol ducky's are a safe bet, but you may want to work with whatever theme they have picked out for the baby. diaper cakes make awesome center peices. and for favors DO NOT get baby powder scented candles. 9 out of 10 people do not like them. i have a favor order i'm doing the woman insisted on baby powder i finally got her to agree to angel wings cause its got vanilla so its not as harsh. the clothes pin game is fun, everyone gets a pin when they come in and their not allowed to say baby, if someone catches them saying baby they get to take their pin whoever has the most at the end of the shower wins a prize. another great thing is a clothesline. put on the invitation for everyone to bring an unwrapped article of clothing. when they get there put a number on on the outfit using removable stickers and have the person write down their number or you can write everyones name and number down on a peice of paper. hang all the clothes on a clothing line strung around the room. towards the end of the shower have a drawing for the winner. (also doubles as decorations) and i highly suggest renting an umbrella or buying a cheapo and decorating it. i can't count how many showers i've been to (bridal and baby) and there was no umbrella. what happened to tradition. and make sure you make a plate hat out of a paper plate and the bows from the gifts its always fun seeing the mom to be wearing it.. and get pics. and a link for good stuffs http://baby-shower-games-etc.com/baby_shower_ideas.htm thought of another game, this is one my mom had at mine. buy a thing of yarn everyone has to cut a peice as long as they think will wrap around the momma's waist without overlapping closest one wins
