Baby Shower Games for a LARGE Shower?

I am throwing a large party/shower for a dear friend. There will be about 50 people in attendance. I'd like to get them all involved in a unique game that ev everyone can participate in. We have one game for the present-opening but need something else for earlier. It is quite an eclectic group with a more "mature" crowd so stuff like "celebrity baby match" won't work...people would be clueless. I'm looking for something really different- no cotton balls, no candy bar diaper, no items on a tray....anything that has been fun and worked well for you?

1. One thing I always do (not so much a game, but a memorable activity) is have each guest write on a piece of stationary a letter to the baby to open on their 16th or 18th (or whatever you choose) birthday. Since it's such a large shower and some people may not be very comfortable creating their own, you can have some with questions already on there: Name, how you know the mother, a funny story about the mother, advice, etc. Have a large envelope to store them all (the mother may want to read them before it is sealed) and write the baby's name, current date and date to be opened.
2. you can different types of candy in a diaper and have people sniff the diaper and see if they can guess what it is
