Do they (your guests) know if you’re having a boy or girl? You could give hints about which they it is and the first person to guess right gets a prize or something. idk
You could have all guests bring a baby picture of themselves & have everyone guess who each picture is. You can buy jars of baby food, and have the guess taste all the baby food & figure out what the flavor is suppose to be (of course have the labels cover, or better yet, put the food in bowls). Another thing is ti make baby diapers out of napkins, buy various types of candy bars, moosh pieces of the candy bars in the “diapers” (1 type of candy bar or diaper), and then have the guests figure out which candy bar is in the diapers (of course they look like baby **** sometimes so it gets a funny reaction). And there’s also baby bingo – I know you can make different ones based on the mother, baby names, etc. but when I did it I purchased it through a supplier of baby goods (decorations, paper plates, invitations, etc.).
How about having a beach theme?
It appeals to both men and women- and is gender neutral- in case they are waiting to find out.
Easy to eat food like little “sand”wiches, beach cocktails, and a sand castle bundt cake.
Here are fun games to play
Play The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly- share the best and worst parental advice you’ve heard of- men can include their own experience or from when they were a kid.
Ok, based on my experience, the guys tend to group together rather than want to do the traditional baby shower things so mix up the games so that guys are involved in at least one – normally a baby bottle drink off and then allow them to play other games if they want.
Just don’t expect the guys to be involved in every event.
Baby Bottle Drink off is the most popular with the guys.
Using Rubber Duckies – Do a Rubber Ducky race with a kids pool or baby bath.
I recommend the printable games and activities because you can print as many as you want and have a good variety.
For more games there are about 50 – 60 ideas here.

There are tons of other ideas as well.
Hope some of these help!
Good luck with the baby shower!

take YOUR baby pics of YOUR family and have them guess it and when someone gets it right give him/her and small prize of their own
