Hey, I thought I was the queen of baby showers! Haha! I love decorating simple and elegant. Games can be anywhere from cheesy and embarassing to classy. Games: sniff diapers and guess the "poop" aka the melted candybar, baby bingo, cut the string and guess how big around her belly is, guess the baby food, don't say the word "baby" or "cute" or your pin gets taken away (some will end up with a shirt full of pins because they catch everyone else saying the word), what is a baby called in the animal kingdom? (cow has a calf, etc). Talk to the expecting mom - go around in a circle and offer advice, ask her about baby names and how she is feeling. It's her special day and she should be in the spotlight (unless she is a shy person, then focus more on games). Always have small gifts for the game winners...such as a candle, chocolates or lotion.
