All the ones I've been to have been the same format, except for my own!

Mine was a pub lunch with games between courses and gifts between main/dessert. I would have preferred a roomier venue and not so much of an audience!

All others Ive been to have been the same as mentioned above: nibblies/dips etc out and then hot food brought later with plenty of games/chatting throughout. The focus was more on the games and gifts than the food.

I did get food poisoning from one baby shower though- with the dips being left out too long so just bear that in mind, especially with pg people there! I would be choosing foods very carefully rembering that a lot of pg women are fussy about what they eat. Especially things like cold or processed meats, soft cheeses etc. Are there going to be other pg guests? I went to a wedding at 39weeks and found there was almost nothing I could eat. ( hot weather, seafood, outdoor venue)
