One thing that we are doing for one of the weddings that I am in is combining the lingerie shower with the bachelorette party. All of the girls coming to the bachelorette party are bring lingerie and we will open them during the coctails at the hotel.
Also, I just co-hosted an "Around the Clock" shower for another friend. You give all the guests a different time (8 am, 9 am , 10 am, etc) and they buy a present off the registry according to that time. I had 4 pm and got two of the bride's china tea cups and saucers with some different kinds of tea.
The bridesmaids are also hosting a couple's "Stock the Bar" party, although it is going to have an SC theme and we are calling it a "Stock the Tailgate Party". The bride and groom are huge SC football fans. So all the guest will bring their favorite beer, bottle of alcohol, or barware from the couple's registry.
We pretty much stayed away from games at all of the showers and focused more on the socializing, eating, and opening presents.
