In many baby shower horror stories, there are problems with the gifts. Maybe some inappropriate or useless gifts are given. And sometimes, there are technology glitches if there was planned to be some form of entertainment like a slideshow or music, which can really put a damper on the event.
The 'Baby Picture Guessing Game' is also a hit. You show pictures of grown-ups as babies and guests try to guess who it is. It's a great way to share some childhood memories and have some laughs.
One horror story is when the venue was double - booked. The expecting mother and all the guests showed up, only to find another event already in full swing. There was chaos as they tried to find a new place on short notice.
Well, often there's something strange about the baby itself. It could be a birthmark with a mysterious meaning, or the baby might have strange behaviors that seem otherworldly. There's also the idea of an unseen threat. Maybe there are strange noises or movements around the baby that no one can explain. And a lot of times, the parents are in denial at first, which makes the horror build up as they slowly realize something is very wrong.
One common element is unexpected complications like the umbilical cord being wrapped around the baby's neck. This can cause distress to the baby during delivery. Another is when there are problems with the mother's health, such as high blood pressure flaring up suddenly. Also, miscommunication in the hospital can be a factor, like when the nurses and doctors don't seem to be on the same page about the delivery plan.
One common element is the lack of financial support. The baby daddy might refuse to contribute towards the baby's needs like diapers, food, or medical expenses.
One common element is financial exploitation. For example, the sugar daddy might not pay as promised or might use financial power to manipulate the sugar baby. Another is emotional abuse. The so - called benefactor could use words to put down the sugar baby, making her feel worthless.
One shower horror story could be when the hot water suddenly runs out in the middle of a winter shower. You're all soapy and then freezing cold water starts pouring. Another is finding a spider in the shower with you. It's really creepy when it suddenly drops from the ceiling while you're trying to relax. And there was this time when the shower head just exploded while I was using it. Water was spraying everywhere and I was so shocked.
Another fun option is 'Baby Picture Guessing'. Show pictures of celebrities as babies and have guests try to guess who they are. It's a lighthearted and engaging game.
One horror story is when the bridezilla goes on a rampage at her own bridal shower. She didn't like the decorations and started yelling at the maid of honor who had spent weeks planning it. It was so embarrassing for everyone there.
At one baby shower, we played a game where we had to guess the size of the mom - to - be's belly with a piece of string. One guest was so off, she thought the belly was as big as a beach ball! It was hilarious.
