I dont know anything about baby showers but my friends delivery is due in 3months but i and a few of my friends have to organise a baby shower for her but we have no idea what to do or where to start.please help

I too prefer the picnic style showers. It's more personal and fun, less formal. You're celebrating the birth of a child for goodness sake, why be stuffy about it. Lol, I was just at my sister-in-laws and learned some big don'ts. If you live in an area with extreme winters, don't leave the drinks in the car, even over night. - If you have people bring food, don't order pizza and eat it in the next room. - If you have the shower in a church don't swear like a sailor. Not a strict rule but it's tacky.

Some good games:
Toilet paper game - everyone tries to guess how many squares of t.p. will fit around mommy's prego tummy.

Observation game:
Without warning you pull Mommy from the room. Then you ask the guests questions about her appearance, ie. Is she wearing earings? a necklace? what color is her shirt? etc.

Gift Bingo:
Everyone gets a blank bingo card and fills it with things they think Mommy will receive. Then as the presents are opened, play bingo.

Basically, treat it like a party, a celebration of new life, not a womens' club, not an excuse to get gifts. Those are the mistakes I've seen.

Oh! and DON'T play the diaper game. It's not cute it's just gross.

From my experience, the best baby showers I have been to, were turned into picnics at someones house....where guys and girls can all get together and have a good time....food....beer, not for mom to be of course...

but then again you could go with the more traditional ladies only thing...find a hall to rent...put together a list of food you would like brought, or have it catered...maybe check with local restaurants and see if they have a party room or something where you could have the shower and order food from them....

I like the picnic style...everyone bring something to eat way the best...
