  I suck at planning stuff like that, so I'm letting the BFF tackle that one. She's asked for a lot of input because she's traveling from out of state to host it, but yeah, I got nothing when it comes to this stuff. Her circus, her monkeys.

  I have know idea. My mom mentioned a game she found online that I hope to god she doesn't use! It's basically guess how big around momma is. .. I don't want to know and think it's rude. But I have no say.
  
  Have fun at your sprinkle

  Great ideas! Our game prizes were nail polish the headbands are super cute. 

  
  

  My thank you favors (from my shower last weekend) were two Swedish butter ball cookies wrapped in cellophane/ribbon, and attached to that was a scan/card stock print of the recipe from my mother. I really wanted to involve her somehow, and given how much she loved to bake, it just made sense. As a bonus, making them was very therapeutic for me.

  
  

  I tried to fight back the tears when explaining it to the shower guests but my sister and I just ended up sobbing heavily heheh

  
  

  Edit: Our games were baby-related pictionary; the game where everyone begins by wearing 3 clothespins but can steal someone else's pin if they say the word "baby" throughout the event (the person with the most pins wins); and "The Price is Right" game, where there's a list of baby items and you have to guess the price...the person closest to the grand total won.

  I really love the headband idea. My best friend is in charge of games and I think my mom said that they're doing gift bingo, don't say baby, and guess the number of jelly beans. I think they'd also asking a few people to bring baby pictures and they'll have everyone guess which pic belongs to which guest.
  
  Have a great time at your sprinkle!

  My family is not big on games at showers but the one thing we do is set a timer while the guest of honor is opening presents and when the timer goes off the gift giver of the gift shes on gets one of the table centerpieces as a prize. The center pieces are usually some sort of fresh flower arrangement. Thank you favors are usually something edible, when I hosted my sisters shower I got chocolate bars from Fannie May and made a custom wrapper that matched the invites with a little thank you message on them from my sister.

  Mine isn't until August 9th, but my sisters gave me veto power on games, so I know we're doing Price is Right, baby food tasting, and guessing belly size. I'm also bringing wooden letters so people can decorate the alphabet for LO's room. Last I heard favors were still up in the air. There's a bee theme so they got little boxes and were thinking of Burt's Bees and jellybeans?

  My baby shower is this Sunday. SIL is hosting, and all I know about it is where she ordered the cake (and that they won't be guessing the size of my belly... that was my one request). Everything else is a surprise. I'm really excited, but also a little jealous off you girls that know the details of your shower beforehand.
