I cant help you I have never had a baby shower but the girls on the forum is putting an e shower together for me so you might want to ask them
good luck

Well the winners of the games we had, got candles, photo albums...Um...Lotions, i'm not sure what else.

Games that were played was bingo, the toilet paper measuring the belly, um...A memorization game, a bunch of items placed out on a table and you had to memorize what ones were out, then you would write down as many as you could remmeber after they were removed from site....Um...I don't know any others off the top of my head!!

Ive never had a baby shower either..And im throwing one for myself..So I kinda need some ideas to make it successfull..!!:d

I know how you feel and this will be my 6th child

Wow..!! Thats amazing..My mom also has 6 children.. 2 boys and 4 girls..! Plus she has 4 ex stepchildren..(which are my half brother and sisters) how old are you?

Well this was a little different but we play some interesting games at my bridal shower. One was the host or whoever takes a huge bag and puts all sorts of clothes in there. Different sizes, bra, panties, pants, socks, swimsuits, hats, ect... Anything.. Then everyone sits in a big circle and someone plays music (so its almost like musical chairs) but you pass the bag around until the music stops and then whoever ends up with the bag has to pull something out without looking and put it on. It might sound corny but its soo much fun.. Especailly if there are funny clothing. And then in the end we took pics of us looking absolutely ridiculous lol......

Another one we played was.... Everyone knew I hated celery.. So they called up my fiance prior and asked him a bunch of question (his favs, things about him, his family, ect) and then they asked me those questions. For every answer I got wrong they made me take a bite out of the celery. (it was fun.. But disguisting lol)...
There were many more its just probably not appropriate for a baby shower...... Hope that help..
And yeah the gifts for were simple things such as make-up, candles, candy, simple jewerly ect.. Things like under 3 dollars a piece..
Hope this helps...

Make everybody guess how big around your belly is, then when everybody's written down their guess, measure.
