[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an 80s themed baby shower. Tang mimosas, Tab, candy necklaces, and no baby-themed games. We did play Pin the Rat Tail on the Mullet (using a pic of Keifer Sutherland from "Lost Boys") and had an 80s trivia contest. It was awesome![/quote]

[b]It totally depends on the audience. In our circle this would mean nothing. Most of us were being born during the 80s. [/b]

We went to a couple's shower when I was pregnant myself. We all had a blast. The guys tasting the baby food, the baby trivia, all the laughter and joy... it was so much fun! The person who threw my shower is older and did the fancy linen no games thing. We all sat on a circle while I opened the gifts. The silence in between was so awkward...[/quote]
I think you're missing the point a bit. Of course it depends on the audience. The point is not that everyone should play Pin the Rat Tail on the Mullet (where would we even get enough rat tails? :P ), but that shower games don't have to be generic, and in my opinion, kind of dumb. They can be fun and reflect the interests of the mom-to-be. For example, I helped to throw a shower for a woman who loved to travel, so we played a game to see who had visited the most countries, and we served food from all over the world. There will be plenty of time for baby stuff after the baby is born. The best showers I have been to have been the ones that reflected the interests of the future mom, rather than making people stick their noses into diapers full of fake crap.[/quote]
