The silly games are fun...but it also might be neat (and touching) to also do some sentimental activities.
Have each of the guests tell mommy the one thing they are most looking forward to about meeting the new little person (whether they have mommy's amazing eyes, daddy's charming smile, Aunt Bertha's crazy feet, etc.....).
When each guest comes into the party....have some nice stationary (cut down to scrap book size) sitting out with nice pens. Have each guest write down something for the new baby and then place it on the tray put out. Later on in the shower...."draw" one of the pieces of stationary. That person wins a prize (so kind of like a raffle!!). Take those pieces of stationary and make a little mini-album for the baby that can be taken over to mommy's house the first visit after baby is born. THAT will be a treasured gift....
Have guests fill out birthday cards for the first ten or so birthdays. This is really great if there are older relatives attending....or relatives and friends from far away who might not be able to make birthdays. Mommy can hold on to them....and present them to the child on those birthdays down the road. This will be fun for the child as it grows....
Don't forget the toasts......before cutting the cake!!
Baby showers should be fun....but not always so crazy and full of games that make people look silly!! The guests are attending to celebrate baby....and they are ADULTS!! A couple of silly games are okay.....but try to make it sentimental and a celebration of baby....and the new family!
That's my advice, anyway!!
Hey....you should look into a custom diaper cake!!! Doubles as the centerpiece and your gift to mommy!! I make those, too....(ruthless plug?? sorry). I can match any theme or color scheme or nursery decor!!
Check out my sight, if you are interested. I ship ANYWHERE!
Good luck....have fun

I had a toddler bathe for all 4 of my little ones. like you, I not had the previous toddler's products when I had the subsequent one. (My 1st 3 little ones are 5yrs aside, the third one replaced right into a lady and then my very last baby is 7 yrs youthful than my daughter.) If human beings want to grant you a bath then enable them. the guideline is that you do not provide your self a bath. yet...It makes a lot less issues so you should ought to purchase. I see not something incorrect with getting showered for all of your little ones. Is the first one the in effortless words one which is think to get this particular treatment? i do not imagine so. again interior the day at the same time as human beings had a baby 10 months to a 12 months aside, you probably didn't want to have yet another bathe because you nonetheless had the toddler stuff and maximum toddler products were unisex-white dressing robes and diapers-yet in recent times maximum individuals wait many years or extra between little ones, so that you ultimately end up desiring to change each thing from the first or next go round. it isn't written in stone to have in effortless words a million toddler bathe. the individuals who say that you may not have yet another are both stingy, recommend-hearted or in simple terms did not get magnificent bathe presents themselves. ha ha ha. that is what you should assert to the unfavourable human beings. chuckle it off and luxuriate on your bathe or Showers.

At my baby shower, we had a baby food taste test guessing game, what candy bar is in the diaper, who can drink a bottle the fastest, and some others.
Here's some links to some great idea sites:

My friend played a game at her shower where they melted different candy bars and put them in diapers, they numbered the diapers and passed them around to let people guess what the candy bars were. We got to smell them and taste them. Everyone seemed to like it and it resulted in the telling of a lot of funny baby poop stories.
