Ask her one time very clearly and explain why (“can you please reply-all when I’ve cc’d Jane and/or Cecil since they need to see the answer too?”).

Hands-On Baby Shower Games

Players have to grab and transfer as many rings as they can in one minute, using just one hand. Without looking, the first player picks out an eyeball from the bucket and notes the color. Then they will pick out a second eyeball, hoping it is a different color. If it is, they will draw for a third eyeball looking for it to be the final color they need in order to have one of each. If not, replace all of the eyeballs in the bucket and play goes to the next guest.
