Does anyone else hate playing games at showers?

I really hate playing games at these things. I have terrible social anxiety and it really makes me feel uncomfortable. That, and most are really corny. I'm invited to a baby shower next month and we're all supposed to bring a baby picture for a "fun game." Is there any graceful way not to...

    You are not alone. I hate games and will avoid any shower unless it is a very close friend or family that I can't miss. My social anxiety is terrible as well, so I feel you. I helped host my friend's bridal and baby shower so I got out of doing games. Maybe ask your friend if there is something you can help with facilitating so you don't have to participate in the game itself?

    I don't even like showers and avoid them if at all possible. I either send a gift or roll it in to the wedding present in the form of more $$$.

    Games are not my thing unless there is plenty to drink.

    I'm not about games personally but I guess what else do you do for entertainment at a baby shower?

    I love games the cornier the better! And I'm no social butterfly as long as there are prizes I'm game. If you're going to go why not participate. But that just me.
