My mother and I have hosted three baby
showers and they were all really fun!!
The one that I liked the most was when we
decided to also invite the men and had it
outside in my back yard. It's a big yard
and it's really pretty so we just
decorated a bit and put up a party tent.
We had bbq to accommodate the guys and
then all the little girly foods also.
We played a number of games that were
really fun and I would like to share these
with you!
The diaper game:
this game was played by the women and
their partners (i had three cousins that
were pregnant at the same time so they
were the ones who played) we bought adult
diapers and the object of the game was to
have the men crawl from one side of the
yard to the other where the mommy was
waiting and then they had to lay down
while the mommie put the diaper on the
guy. Then the guy had to crawn back where
he started and whoever got there first
won!! This was hilarious to see (of
course the diaper was put on over their
pants)
baby food game:
two people were blindfolded. One sits
down with their hands behid their backs.
One is standing up with a jar of gerber
and a spoon. The person standing up has
to feed the person sitting down with the
spoon. Whoever finishes first wins.
Since they are both blindfolded the person
eating the gerber usually ends up with
food all over their face! It's so
funny.
Bottle drinking:
this is like the gerber eating game except
we bought baby bottles and cut a bit of a
larger hole in the nipple. We filled them
up with beer and once again they are both
blind folded and whoever is drinking the
beer has their hands behind their back,
the person that holds the bottle can't use
his/her hands to find the other person's
mouth. We like to put the two people at
least four feet away from each other
(facing each other) so that it is hard to
find the person and their mouth right
before they start drinking.
Baby dressing game:
we find a few dolls that can be dressed up
and we find all the little things that
babies wear. We then see who can dress
the doll the fastest and that's who
wins.
Act like a baby game:
prior to the baby shower we write down all
the little things that babies do. We then
put them in a basket and have everyone
pick out a little piece of paper. We then
have everyone standing in a circle and one
by one they go into the circle and act out
the baby action that is written in the
little piece of paper. Examples are:
crying like a baby, poutting, their first
steps, making spit bubbles, throwing a
fit, pooping in their diaper or being
constipated, going crossed eyed, sucking
their thumb and so on.
I hope this gives some people a few ideas
about baby games!

Well, I don't know if anyone is reading
the shower games but I thought I would
post another one that I am thinking of
having in my baby shower
ask each guest to bring in a baby pic of
themselves and give the pic to the host.
The host will then place all the baby pics
somewhere with a number underneath. The
guests will then write the number down on
a piece of paper and guess who's who. (i
really want to see baby pics of everyone)
and for those who are religious there's a
spiritual or prayer shower. This is when
all the guests read an inspiring scripture
from the bible or say a prayer dedicated
to your baby right before they hand you
their gifts. I think this is really
nice.
There's also "gift bingo" you hand out a
paper with a grid on there to your guests
and they write down what they think you
will get for your gifts. Then they can
play bingo along with you while you are
opening your gifts.

It is a pen game all you do is give
everyone 5 close pens and if someone
catches them crossing there legs the
person that catches them takes a pen the
person with the most pens at the end of
the baby shower gets a gift

I've been to showers where its really
close to the clothes pin game you
mentioned, beautiful. Except you give
everyone 3 clothes pins that they pin to
their shirt, &the rules are: you
cannot say the name of the baby, or you
can opt to not be able to say the name of
the father of the baby! If you hear
someone say it, you grab a clothes pin
from them before someone else can get to
it. The one with the most clothes pins at
the end of the game is the winner!

Ok try this one
take a bag of rice and about 250 safty
pins put them into one big bowl. Put a
blind fold on someone and have them try to
find as many safty pins as they can in 2
minutes.Record the results, and the person
with the most at the end of the game wins
a prize
