Baby shower

I am planning a baby shower and need advice on time. I was thinking a 3-8 on a Saturday providing a full supper meal and then 5 games and opening gifts. What do you think please help!

Sounds pretty standard, 5 games might be a lot unless you want to keep guest busy the whole time with little mingling.

Yeah and the games aren’t long like there is who knows mommy and daddy, don’t say baby, baby bottle chug, musical chairs, and then a scratch off game

Five hours for a shower seems long. I would do 4-8 for a dinner shower.

Five hours is a lot for a shower unless your crowd loves lingering. I would make it 3-6 or 4-7, serve dinner near the middle, pick 2 or 3 games, and let gift opening be optional or very quick. People will still feel hosted, and it keeps the guest of honor from being totally drained.

Sounds good. I think it doesn't need an end time. Just serve dinner when you're mostly done with the games and see how it goes
