Anyone else have friends/relatives plan your baby shower so that you had no idea what was going to happen?

My SIL is hosting mine at my mom's house next week, halfway across the country (we were going out there for the 4th and my nephew's 2nd birthday. I know the time, the guest list (way more limited than my mom was initially intended, thank goodness), and that I'll be making the watermelon bassinet (90% of us are dieting - fruit makes sense.) Otherwise, I haven't the foggiest idea what they are planning.

I've only been to 3 baby showers. Two were awkward (all women, games that no one actually seemed to enjoy and had to be coaxed into playing, people being forced to take cake - surely, that can't be the norm?) and one was enjoyable (co-ed backyard BBQ with a movie on for kids.) After the first, I actively avoided them - the second two were for my oldest godson and the kid whose delivery I attended. What have others' baby showers been like?
