When is everyone having their baby shower?
I'm just curious as to when everyone is having their shower? The theme? games? Why you're having it when you are. 
I'm not sure if someone else has done this but I'd love to know about what everyone else is doing

Re: When is everyone having their baby shower?
Mine is November 24 (Thanksgiving weekend). No idea about themes, games or anything really, except date and location. Letting my hostesses plan the details.
We chose this date because my sister is throwing the shower and she lives out of town, but will be here this Thanksgiving. It's also a convenient time for other friends who now live out of town and are coming home to see their parents for the holiday. It won't work for every single person invited, but for most it does.

I'm only having one shower that I know of. It's on December 2nd and I'll be 33 weeks. My mom and MIL are throwing it. I don't know anything about it, other than the guest list (around 50 - family and friends). I've tried to ask questions, but they won't tell me a single thing. I love shower games, so I hope they plan on playing them. I did make one request - no candy bar poop in the diaper games. GROSS.
I wouldn't be surprised if work ended up throwing me a little mini surprise shower. That's what we usually do for weddings and babies. I of course know nothing about this as of now.

My first shower is being held on November 10th by my aunt. No idea on theme or games. This date was picked bc my aunt wanted to do it before the holidays and this weekend worked best for the two of us.
My other shower is being held on December 2nd by my SILs. No idea on theme or games. This date was picked bc one of my SILs will be in town at that time. She lives in another country.
Mine is Oct 28th. We're having it early cuz I am going away in November for my birthday, AND December is too busy.
My mom and my aunt are throwing me the shower the theme is "Little Pumpkin on the Way".

Since this is my 2nd baby I'm only having one and it's a "sprinkle" for just a few of my girlfriends to get some girl clothes (this is my first girl so we need clothes, but have all the other items - I didn't register or anything) My sister is throwing it so I don't know much about it other than the theme is "Fill the Closet".
It's on November 18th.
We are having 3 (One local and two in our home town, we have really large families).
They are all in November. I am unaware of themes and games. My hostesses are caring for those details.

My church back home in VA is throwing us a shower November 18th. My family & friends that live there are also invited. Not sure if we'll have any games or what the theme will be, but the sweet lady that decorates for all church functions/showers I know make it girly and beautiful.
My girlfriends here in AZ are planning one for me but I don't have any details yet on dates. I'm pretty sure it'll be early December.

I'm having 3. One for work, my DH's family and then my family and friends. My family and friends is Nov 18th. My theme is https://www.partypail.com/wild-safari-blue.html
No clue on games.
My shower is November 11th hosted by my best friend and her mom at my best friend's home.
The theme is Dr. Suess after the Thing 1 & Thing 2 idea with it being twin boys. There are ~ 25 people invited consisting of family, friends, co-workers.
I haven't asked too many questions but I know my best friend (who was also my MOH) has been planning for awhile. I was only engaged about 6 months and we couldn't find a weekend for her to throw a bridal shower b/c my mom's best friend scheduled hers the only weekend that worked when I got married 2 years ago so she keeps saying this baby shower is going to make up for it... I'm sure whatever she's planning will be perfect (I'm not going to even think about it to be honest - no stress!!).
Mine's Nov 10th, I'll be 32 weeks then. I wanted it before the holidays and that way whatever else we need I'm hoping to be able to pick up on Black Friday for a good price. The theme is storybooks, I don't know about colors or games. I don't really care for games but I think my family does so I'm sure there will be something.
It's being held at my house so I have to really work hard to make it presentable. That's so difficult now because I get home from work and just crash.

My first shower thrown by my mom for my family and friends is scheduled for November 11. My second shower thrown by my MIL and church for DH's family and our church family is scheduled for December 2. We picked those dates just based on DH's work schedule and all the other things that were already planned. Our first shower is co-ed so my BFF has all these games planned that include the men, so that hopefully it will be sort of fun for them too. I'm not sure what they all are though. My favorite thing that we are doing is something I saw on pinterest (see below) where each guest fills out a card for baby to have later- I'm putting these in LO's scrapbook.
ETA: Edited to answer the rest of your questions! Totally skipped that! And to fix the picture:(
mine is going to be nov 4.....my mom and mil are hosting it...with help from my sis and sil....
nov 4 is my sister's wedding anniv, but there's a giants home game that my bil is going to, so its ok
plus the next weekend is my fil's bday, then my mom and mil both have the same bday after that, then it's thanksgiving, my nephew's bday and then my il's are going away until the week before christmas, so that was really the only day that worked
i don't know what the theme is, or if there will be one, but i know my invites are adorable...they have a clothes line on them....as for games, i just hope there are only like, word games, like jumbles, word searches, things like that...and maybe gift bingo? not sure, but my sis is in charge of that, and she knows she dare not do any poop candy in diapers, or any guess how big mommy's belly is or anything like that...i'll punch her
my sister is also making the cake for my shower, and last week she and my mom were working on centerpieces, and then my mom and mil got together to work on stuff too....so i have no idea what's going on, but i'm so excited!
I'm having 3
Nov 3- (where I am originally from- hosted by my mom) - Little prince theme - being held at a teahouse
Nov 10-(local friends - hosted by my best friend) - monkey theme
work shower - unknown date/ theme
Our "Surprise Shower" is Nov. 3rd. That's all I know though.
My Mother can't hold water LOL!
I'll be 30 weeks then.
I'm having 2 small showers, the first on Nov 17 hosted by a friend here in town (that date was just what worked for both of us that gave her enough time to get ready). The second shower will be back home (my mom is hosting) and will either be right around Thanksgiving or the first weekend in Dec.
I have no idea as to colors, themes, or anything else about them though!
