Anyone having a shower "after-party"?

I'm part of the "baby showers are lame, but I'm obligated to have one" crowd. I tried to even convince my mom to have it at some off-the-wall place so it would be more fun, but she wasn't into it. So I'm thinking of organizing a little "girls' night out" for after the shower, sortof a "baby-ette party" lol Nothing formal, just going out for karaoke or a movie or something afterwards. Certainly not expecting anyone to treat me or anything. Has anyone done anything like this?

    Our babyshower isn't going to be traditional by any means. We are having a large bbq at my friends house. She will be inviting the women inside for the babyshower and we are having the men outside doing the bbq'ing and they are going to have a poker tournament in the garage and to bet in, is  a case of diapers/wipeys. It's the males "diaper party" and females "babyshower". We think it's a great idea because it will be more laid back and not so segregated. A lot of our friends and family will be invited to both parties so we figured throwing them together would be the best bet. It will be late August so around 5-7pm, we haven't set a time yet. A lot of my family and our friends have children so they won't be left out and will have tons of other children to play with. It is about 100 people total. I am loving the idea myself. Also, instead of games we are doing activities like decorating onsies for Emma and writing on butterfly cut cardstock in pastel colors to place in her scrapbook. I love our idea since there will be good food and some alcohol beverages. As long as theres something fruity with crushed ice, I'm happy!!

    I havent heard of this idea, but I LOVE IT!

    ...my shower is going to be co-ed, and there will be alcohol there, so i have a feeling I'm not going to want to deal with anyone after for an "after party" and the drinkers might just go do their own thing.  I wish something like this would work for my shower!

    Sounds fun!  I know exactly what you mean on the baby shower - we moved last month to my hometown, but I haven't lived here in 8 years, so I don't know that many people.  My mom was in the same boat, but I had a lot of relatives bugging us about it, so we are just doing a small brunch shower at a restaurant.  Much better for me.

    My shower is going to be at my parent's house.  After the shower, once all of my family and mom's friends have left I am going to just have my friends from out of town still there.  We are going to do something fun, but probably just stick around the house.  We never really want to do anything but hang out and gab anyways.  I'll get a box of wine for them!
