I hosted a baby shower this past summer.
The favorite game played by all was the baby food jar game!!
You write down what ya have we had 20 jars some the same
numbered them than numbered the labels took off the labels and they had to guess what was in the jars!!!!
It was amazing on how many people got wrong!!!!!

I went to a baby shower and there were guys there, so we had to have a game of guys, so they had a beer chugging contest out of bottles. The guys loved it. It was so funny!

Another is to get clothes pins (the big wooden kinds) and attach about 20 to a hanger, then go around and see who can grab the most in one hand with no help. My mom had like 14! Lol

you can also put about 20 small baby items on a tray and walk it around the women so they can have a glance at it, and they have to write down all the items on the tray, the one with the most items wins.

I once went to a baby shower and there was this game where the guests were asked to bring in a baby picture of themselves. Then we all had to write down our guesses as to whose baby picture each one was. Whoever got the most right got a prize. This game works well when there aren't too many guest, but just enough ( around 15-20).

I have been involved in planning many baby showers, and am happy to share what i've come across:

baby bingo: this game is played while the mom-to-be opens her presents. You can make up a regular bingo card quite easily on word, or even by hand. I like to use pastel colored paper. Give each quest a blank bingo card, along with something to write with. Announce before the presents are opened that each quest must fill in each square with a specific baby item that they think will be inside the gifts (bottles, blankets, highchair, etc.). When everyone is ready the mom-to-be begins to open her gifts one at a time and the guests play bingo off their own unique cards. This is really a lot of fun, and helps pass through gift opening time nicely. We had a shower once with approximately 40 people, and we needed about 15 prizes for the bingos, if you are chosing to have prizes.

Enjoy! I will share more in another message.

Another fun game:

after you are done eating brunch or lunch, or whatever you are snacking on, ask the mom to be to leave the room. Give each quest a paper with the following type of questions (you can make up your own unique list according to your guest of honor): *what color shirt is she wearing*does she have on a watch*is she wearing heels or flats*does she have earrings on (these are just a few question examples). This is really a great game - it also gives the mom-to-be a much needed opportunity to take a rest room break!

Another great game:

pass around several rolls of toilet paper, and ask each guest to tear off a strip of toilet paper that they think will fit around the mom-to-be like a belt (this creates a lot of laughs). The fun part of the game is that once everyone has chosen their "belt", the mom goes around the room and lets them measure their belt to see how close they are, but they must also give well wishes to the mom-to be (one word for each square of toilet paper). For example, if someone has 14 squares of toilet paper, they might say: "i hope you have a quick labor and delivery and a very healthy baby." this game is especially fun with a smaller, more intimate shower, and it can be very lengthy with a larger crowd.

Have fun!

Okay, i've been to quite a few of my cousins baby showers...

Cottonball fun-
what you'll need:
-big bag of cotton balls
-a scooper spoon.
-paper plate
-string
-stapler
-some kind of blind fold.

Directions:
-fill bowl with cotton balls.
-staple string to paper plate and tie it around the person's head, like a hat.
-start the game with the mom to be
-blindfold the person and see how many cotton balls you can get in the spoon and onto the plate in a minute.

Its pretty fun..

The baby game-
-as people walk through the door, hand them 1 clothes pin.
-you cannot say "baby" throughout the whole shower.
-if you hear someone say "baby," you get to take the pin.
-the person left with the most clothes pins wins.

At my cousins baby shower they passed around like 10 diapers numbered 1-10 which had stuff inside them and when each one came to you - you had to look and smell it and write down on paper what you thought it was.

Example diaper #2 came to me it looked and smelled like chocolate pudding so i'd write down on my sheet of paper besides #2 chocolate pudding...


Once timer was done they read what #'/s 1-10 were and whoever had most right won.

You were passed around all 10 diapers one at a time.

Baby word search.....Make a word search of baby related thigns and there you go have a timer and at the end see who has hte most done and stuff.


Also name guessing game......Have a list of boy and girl names on a piece of paper and have them circle what name they think you picked for a boy and a girl.....Both first and middle name.

Rice in a bowl with safety pins. See how many safety pins each person can find in the bowl. It is harder than what you think.. Oh yes they need to be blindfolded.

For my wedding my sister and I had a baby /bridal shower (she is pregnant I am not ) well instead of playing abunch of games we made scrap book pages for our future scrap books. The girl who hosted the shower brought all the supplies and put them all out on a table and then during dinner the girls all made us a page. I absolutly love my scrap book now and it means so much to have all the women in my life who I love to have played a part in it. It was really special and we had so much fun doing it together and giving each other ideas.

Another version of the diaper game....Give everyone a folded diaper right out of the package. Everyone opens up theie diaper at the same time, the person who gets the "poopy" one wins! (you can put a tootsie roll or whatever inside) afterwards the mommy gets to keep all the clean diapers :)

p.S. Anyone have ideas for a baby shower when the mom had baby before the shower??
