Baby shower with no games?

Question

My dads ex girlfriend, who I would say is my closest friend, is planning my shower and I told her that I hate baby shower games and don't want them. Maybe just a raffle and some crafting activities? But she insists on playing a baby shower game that involves charades... -__- my least favorite game of all time. I am already socially awkward and having to play charades would give me a lot of anxiety. I don't like when everyone is looking at me and I'm the center of attention, but she insists on it and just says "Wellllll, too bad."
I don't even know if I want to have a shower now...

Answer

Tell her fine have the game, but I'm just gonna watch and maybe be a judge if there is an augment. Some people can get very competitive when it comes to games.

Answer

I chose some different, non traditional games rather than just the bingo, word scrabble, don't say baby crap. those are dumb to me. and the games that I picked, I don't have to play- I can just judge. I dont like being the center of attention either.

if she's insisting, like you said do the crafts.

my list includes:

onesie decorating
play dough babies
guess the baby food flavor 
a blindfolded diaper changing just for the guys, and some game where you have to name all the songs you can think of with "baby" in the title.

we've got a lot of people were inviting and I think we've got to do something interesting to pass the time or else it'll be really awkward.

Answer

I would have at least one. MOST PEOPLE LIKE THEM but I wouldn't let HER pick the game. There's a game I loved and a lot I know do and it's an ALL day game that you don't do anything with. Just the guests and you could play but don't have to. Everyone puts on a necklace and you can't say BABY at all. If anyone hears someone say baby they take the necklace and at end of shower, the one with the most gets a prize. Any one that doesn't want to play can say baby right away lol.

Answer

Tell flat out her you absolutely DO NOT want games. I've been to plenty that haven't involved games, including my own. See if you can find some other type of activity that involves them making something for baby like the decorate a onesie table or do a cupcake decorating table if you need something to take up time so it isn't just a quick "hi, thanks, bye" thing.

Answer

There will be games at mine but I cannot participate. The guests are playing to win prizes for the baby. Of course I have them a little gift to keep of their own. My grandma is doing mine and she has 5 or 6 games planned.

Answer

I didn't have games on mine and we had fun!!!

Answer

We did bingo at mine and that was the only activity. Anything else , and it would have been too long. I think people most look forward to celebrating you and baby, good food, socializing and watching you open gifts.

Answer

My babyshower games weren't bad. 
I had one where there were four diapers and melted chocolate candy in all and you had to guess what candy each was. I had another where you had a partner and they fed you baby food and the first one who ate it all won. And then we had a baby word scramble. Everyone played I even made my husband do the babyfood one 😂😂

Answer

I didn't have any shower games and it worked out fine. It was coed and people just mingled and ate. I hate being the center of attention as well, it's awkward.
