Tackiest, shower for not a first baby.

At the tackiest the mom got naked and we all guessed the sex of the baby based on the color of her areolas.

At the classiest the favors were Congressional Medals of Honor.

Tackiest- (there have been a few)
Kegger where everyone got trashed. The theme was beer and diapers, so you had to bring a case of both.
A HUGE shower/gift grab where we played the worst games possible. Sniff the melted chocolate bar in the diaper and say what chocolate bar it was. Guess how big mom's stomach is with toilet paper.

Nearly all the ones I go to are classy, small affairs. Sit down luncheons with wine and champagne. The host goes to a lot of trouble with decor and the games are nice (who did what as a baby- mom or dad?). You write wishes for the baby, but mostly it's just a party to celebrate and support the new mom.

I'm surprised you guessed the sex, and not who the daddy was.

Tackiest: The one where they nuked the chocolate bars inside the baby diaper so it looked like baby poop and then everyone had to guess what kind of candy bar it was. Extra credit if you either sniffed or (Gack!) tasted the contents of the diaper.

Tacky: it was in a diner. They didn't warn the diner ahead of time and didn't tell us the diner didn't know. We showed up and the diner was like "No, we can't accommodate a party of 23 on zero notice during weekend brunch time, sorry." So we all sat at different booths!

There was a television on the whole time.

The mom-to-be was white, all her friends were white, and she invited her brother's fiancee who is black. NONE of her friends would talk to the fiancee. She was just sitting alone on the couch with a smile frozen on her face. When I went over to talk to her one of the friends grabbed my arm and said "Why would you talk to HER?" Oh wait that wasn't tacky, it was just straight up racist.

Why so much alcohol, when the guest of honor can't even drink?

All baby showers are tacky. Showers were given in the time when women didn't work and couples had very little money. Now, women work and can buy what they need. Anyone who gives a shower for a second or more baby or woman agrees to same, should be shunned forever.
