Any tips/advice on having baby shower?
We will be inviting about 120 guests, children included.

What kinds of games/activities/ideas worked? What didn''t?

I know there have been a few threads on this. You may want to do a search.


Good luck!

Don''t do any games. It will be a total disaster with that many guests. If you want to have something shower-y, maybe you can do a raffle (like whoever brings diaper gets to be entered into the raffle for a prize). But stay away from structured games...trust me. We had 50 people at my shower and one game took about 1 hour. Luckily I was able to convince my mom to nix the rest of the games.

Wow that is a huge shower! With one that size I wouldn''t try for too many too organized games. Maybe game stations or something? I think it will get very quickly out of hand with that many people...

Most of the showers I''ve been to have lots and lots of guests (not quite 120) but we have a large family. I still like games although I think the hostess needs to be very organized and loud to get the job done.

Also, you could do separate games for children and adults.
