Dangers of petting! That's so funny!

My aunts threw my shower and we played a few of the corny traditional games - smell the spices, purse treasure hunt, coming up with words from the happy couple's names, and the stupid clothespin game! That one was the worst. Basically you had three clothespins and if someone caught you crossing your legs they took them from you.

I would suggest the spice game. Just get a spice rack with spices, number the bottles, take off the labels and make everyone guess what they are, but of course, the bride gets to keep the spice rack in the end.

Also, if you have prizes for games, try and pick things the bride would use/want/need. In my family, it's super huge to give the game prizes back to the bride. I ended up with five candles because that was the prize for each game. I don't know how they didn't notice that.

Ohh, but my best shower thing was the quilt. My aunts picked out the fabric and got one of my cousins to piece it. At the shower, everyone took turns tying it. Between the shower and the wedding, it was bound around the edges. It was like the best thing ever!
