I know everyone is absolutely sick of shower posts, but please bear with me. My mom has decided to throw us a meet the baby party/shower/get together/whatever after baby is born. I love this idea seeing as my two actual baby showers I had were kind of a bust (hardly anyone was able to come for whatever reasons). Party is about 5 weeks after baby is due (totally fine with me). Mom will be serving a light lunch with cake. My question is what the heck do you do at a meet the baby party? We're trying to decide if we should do a couple games with favors or anything.

Re: Meet the baby party
This. Anything else makes it seem too much like a shower, and considering you've had 2 already you really don't need another shower.
We'll probably have one. The benefit of having a meet-the-baby gig is to get a whole bunch of visits done at once. Everyone wants to see the baby but hosting them all on separate dates is a lot of visiting time.
Expecting gifts wouldn't be appropriate for this kind of event, especially if you've had two showers. Even if they were "busts". At ours we'll have food, cake, and the tiny bundle of joy. No games or favors here either. Baby games aren't fun usually anyways. If anyone brings a gift, that will be thoughtful but not expected.
I would say noo games with prizes. You could do it like a BBQ style: grilled food, corn hole, bocce ball, well any pack yard game and like pp said an open house style. Also I don't think cake is a bad idea since its a meet the baby party!
Edit: Great idea to have cake!
