I'm throwing a bridal shower for both the bride & groom. Does anyone have any fun ideas or games?

Yes, our men would show up & Yes, our men get right in there with the games. They're definately a fun group.

Here are some traditional Jack and Jill shower themes:
"Stock the Bar"
All invitees are assigned a particular type of liquor: wine, whiskey, bourbon, liquer, vodka, brandy, tequila...etc. An invitee may also be invited to bring bar accessories such as tumblers, margarita glasses, fancy shot glasses or unique coasters. A variation on this is a "Wine and Cheese" theme where guests bring a bottle of wine and cheese from a specific country.
"Good Advice"
For this theme, the host or hostess should have an index card box or a small photo album available. Each attendee will be sent an index card with their invitation and will be asked to write down their best marriage advice for the marrying couple. A variation on this theme, using the same materials, is a "Teach the Cook" theme. Invitees are asked to write down their favorite recipes.
"Make Room"
Each invitee is assigned a room in the couple's house: the kitchen, bedroom bathroom, living room, dining room, the patio, etc. The gift should be something practical to be used in that room.
"Gift Cards"
Rather than just giving the couple money, which is traditional, attendees may opt to purhcase a gift card that the couple may use at a local supermarket, department store, home improvement store, a bed and linens store, a book store, or any other store that may interest the couple.
"One for the Guys"
The most popular theme for men at a couples shower is a handyman or home improvement theme, What guy wouldn't want more tools? It can be something as simple as a hammer to an electric drill.
It is best to tailor the theme, if you use one at all, to the couple. Perhaps they are both athletic, or like to travel, or attend sporting events, whatever their interests, the theme should appeal to both the bride and the groom.
The most succesful Jack and Jills do not include games, which can sometimes be uncomfortable or even a little boring for the guests. Rather than putting guests or the bride and groom on the spot wtih games, be sure to have a DJ or band that is open to requests and keep the music lively. The shower should be relaxed and fun.

Do you think that the guys will actually show up? Not one man I know would actually go. Also games at wedding and baby showers suck. Food and presents are totally the way to go.

Do people actually enjoy that crap? I thought it was just good for the gifts and the food. Just make sure you feed 'em and get 'em drunk if they're drinkers and the rest doesn't matter.
