DH and I orgionally decided to wait until the baby shower to announce the baby's name, but now i don't have any idea how to do it! The shower is at a restraunt, so a sign probably wouldn't work. Help!
You could have everyone fill out a "Hello my name is:" name tag...especially if you're having a big group and not everyone knows each other. Then stick one on your belly with the baby's name...like in your siggy...then see how long it takes someone to notice!
I don't know if I would say it is creative, but you could do a toast in the beginning thanking everyone for coming and that you are so happy that little Camden will grow up with so much love and support.
And just to be forewarned, I have heard sooooo many people complain that they announced the name at their shower, and guests weren't as excited as they were (no one ever can be - it's your baby, not theirs). Just want you to be prepared for anyone who might be a downer...

Is it too cheesy to have it on your shirt? Maybe have a tshirt made special and part way thru the shower 'get to hot' and take another layer off and it would be on underneath. I don't know...it may be a little silly, but then I like silly

Re: Need a creative idea
You could have your mom or someone you are close to unwrap a gift from you and your DH and it could be a pink or blue onesie...
You could also make it into a Hangman-like game.

.....and then she could tell everyone the name.
