My baby shower was a surprise, and held at a neighborhood italian restaurant at lunchtime. The only thing I had to do for this was create my wish list on MyrRegistry.com. My sister accessed my MyRegistry.com account and created eCards right on the site and sent them to share my registry with family and friends. The actual event was lovely...but nothing too fancy! There was about 30 people there, we had a buffet lunch, played some baby games that my sister obviously found on the internet, and I opened my gifts (and I was so lucky because I received so many gifts from my wish list!! Even the Zen glider bassinet that I REALLY wanted)!
