things to do at a baby shower
My baby shower is May 2 and my mom is trying to think of things to do during the shower. I do not want to play games and I will not have that many presents to open bc I live out of state and many ppl will be mailing my gifts. Does anyone have any out of the box suggestions, just so time doesnt drag too much?

Re: things to do at a baby shower
Other then Games? Im not sure what else there would be to do? Most people entertain themselves...
How about giving them Mommy advice cards to fill out to give to you? I like that idea.
Or fill out a guess of what babys weight, date of birth etc will be...yes its a game of sorts but we kept all of ours, and we had fun looking every week to see who was closest and who eventually won.

Does anyone win a prize if they guess correctly, or is it just a fun thing?

At my cousins shower her mom bought a ton of onesies... all different sizes and washable fabric markers. Everyone decorated a onesie! It was really cute and fun, then when they were all done.. they hung them all on a clothes line and everyone took a group photo with it! The baby is now 8 months and is still wearing some of the onesies! It was fun for the mom to be and her husband to go through them after the shower seeing what everyone wrote or drew!!

this is what my sister is planning to do at mine! I think it will be really fun....we are going to do onesies and maybe bibs and burp cloths too if we can find plain ones...

Re: things to do at a baby shower
At my sister's shower a few weeks ago we also passed out paper and pens for the guests to give advice to the mother-to-be.
