Baby Showers: acceptable in the UK?!

Eh, again, as someone who has absolutely no artistic or craft skill whatsoever, I would hate the onesie thing and be really embarrassed with what I turned out. I can see that it would be fun for someone who has fine motor skills more proficient than the average second grader, I guess. Bingo is ok, if it's a large group, but then again, I also think it's tacky to invite a large group to a shower.

I think you have to have some entertainment at a shower, whether it's games or something else. Just sitting around talking is no good. After all, you're inviting people to come shower you with gifts, the least you can do is show them a good time.

But for some people, playing games is the opposite of a good time.  I don't think some sort of 'entertainment' is necessary. 

I think it depends on what games you do. At my baby shower in the states we decorated onesies. We had different sizes and everyone got to design a couple with fabric pains, stencils and brushes and I picked the winners. Everyone got really into it and in the end I got like 24 onesies for the girls to wear.

Also, making it a rule that you can't say the word 'baby' during the shower gets really funny by the end of the day. I had this at a couple of showers (one at a friends and one at mine) and everyone got really competitive about it and it was such a laugh.

Yeah I've played the can't say baby game quite a few times.  Then there's the guess how big the bump is by cutting a piece of yarn.

My cousin-in-law's had an adorable rubber duck theme and mimosas.  Totally stealing both for future shower for SIL.
