So you've successfully gotten the baby shower invitations sent out and plentyof guests have already sent in their RSVPs. How many are you going to entertain them?! Sure, you've got a lavish menu prepared, and the theme for your decorations selected, but many of the guests won't know each other.
A foolproof way to get everyone mingling and interacting at your event is with games. Baby shower games give everyone an excuse to let guard down, get silly, and at the same time, they focus the attention on the guest of honor and her soon-to-be born baby. Here are a few great games to get you started:
The Tummy Game
You'll need 1 or 2 balls of string or ribbon, preferably in pink or blue. Pass the string around and ask the guests to cut a length of string equal to the girth of the expectant mother's tummy. When all the guests have finished, the mom-to-be then wraps each ribbon around her tummy. The one closest to the true size without going over the actual size wins!
Pin The Pacifier On The Baby Shower Game
Just like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" except with a pacifier and a baby picture. Each guest takes turns being blindfolded and trying to stick the pacifier on the mouth of a baby picture taped on the wall. Closest one to the mouth wins.
Baby Shower Game Favorite: Dress the Baby
This game can get expensive if the host has to provide a doll for every guest, so ask the guests to bring their own and save some dough! Well... a doll, as well as a receiving blanket, a onesie, and a diaper. Have the guests randomly exchange their baby gear with another guest. Then, with a timer, time each guest trying to dress their baby. This is a fun one that really builds anticipation and excitement with its race against the clock. Watch out for competitive juices flowing in full force with this game!
Baby Shower Game Fave: Guess the Baby's Gear
Have a large bag of baby items placed in front of the blind-folded guest of honor. Have her take each item out one at a time and guess what she has in her hands. The more unique and wacky items you choose to put in the bag, the more fun this game gets!
Return to Childhood Game: The Bottle Race
Have all the guests fill bottles with liquid and suck the bottle using a nipple just like a baby would. The women (or man!) who drinks the most in, say, 5 minutes wins a baby shower gift. This is sure to get everyone loosened up!
Well, that's quite a list of fun baby shower games! They should be enough to get you started. Or, they can get your creative juices flowing with your own ideas. If you think of a great game that you'd love to share, please do, and we'll include it on this list. Happy Shower! - 16955
