I am not a fan of baby showers either (completely personal & understand why people do like them). To me having a baby is a very spiritual event - I find the whole presents and games with dummies etc not my scene.
I am the same as flowerchild, baby showers are just not for me. Instead I got 3 of my best girlfriends together and we went out to dinner, it was great to have a girly catchup before bub was born.
