I think 3 hrs is fine.....any longer can be torture!!!!! You just need to open gifts as people are eating and skip on games or only do 1. IMO you do not need any longer.
I kind of agree, by the 3 hr mark I'm ready to get the heck out of there. 4 hrs is WAY too long, I start to feel kidnapped. LOL As long as you're efficient about everything 3 hrs is fine, I think if it was longer you'd find people would start to trickle out before then anyway.
I agree too. Showers can get so long and boring.
Yes this!

I think I may be a minority in saying I enjoy showers and like the games. 3 hours seems like it would be rushed. Every girl gets their moment in the sun and you only get it once. I bet the people who say they hate these things and wish they were shorter enjoyed thier own showers and would have been upset if someone rushed them. JMO. Let her have her day, don't rush it if you don't have too. Most women only get this time once in a lifetime.
I actually didn't want a baby shower and I suffered through a bridal shower because it was really important to my mom.
I'm just not into at all- even for myself.
I appreciated the gifts, don't get me wrong, but I didn't love being forced into the spotlight as I sat opening 400 gifts in front of a crowd of very bored people.
Made me uncomfortable.
My "day" was my wedding day. Not my shower
This exactly! I can't speak for anyone else, but I felt the same and actually wanted to move things along at my own. I was very grateful, but I did it to make my family happy.
Also, in response to MrsD's comment - it seems a rising trend now that it's no longer a once in a lifetime event. I've known many people who've had multiple showers, for every wedding and every baby, with full registries for each.
OP asked if it could be done in 3 hours. Many responded that, in their own experience, it can and suggested ways to do so. Of course, it's up to her to do what she wants with that.
I agree with a lot of you but I think my biggest issue is that I don't want to feel rushed, especially at 7/8 months pregnant. I think I will be moving a lot slower at that point...lol. But I do appreciate everyone's contribution and suggestions...it's all helped!!!

Yes! There are many people who DON'T want to be the center of attention. I don't enjoy all eyes on me, I'm not into small talk and socializing. I wanted to skip the whole shower thing (wedding and baby) but DH and other family members wouldn't let me. I loved my wedding but could have done without being the center of attention. I just saw it as a big celebration with awesome food/music/location. I never even felt like it was "my day", other than I was calling the shots on the details (that part I didn't mind).
