i love baby showers and love playing games at them. i had a huge baby shower with DD and got so many gifts but it was more about the games and catching up with people.
Mum wants to throw me one this time and i dont care if she does cause i love the games lol.
liek other people have said if people dont like it they dont have to come and if they dont wanna buy a gift then they dont have to.
I went to a baby shower a few weekends ago and it came across as the lady just wanting gifts because there was no foo till another guest bought some didnt open the presents with everyone (this has always been done at other baby showers i have been too) and didnt get a thank you card or even a verbal thank you. and no games or anything. so to me this just seemed like a i want presents party.
