Baby shower game ideas??

[ang0343]

I'm trying to help come up with some baby shower games but we're trying to avoid the really common ones that everyone has played. Can anyone help me with some different baby shower games? Thanks!!

At the last shower that I went to, they didn't have games.  Rather, they spent that time making onesies.  So, they got plain white onesies in a few different sizes.  Then, they laid them out (with cardboard inserted between front and back so no bleeding through) and had fabric pens all over...we had a great time, it took up the "game time" of the shower, and my cousin was thrilled to take them all home.  The mom-to-be chose winners in a few different categories (funniest, sweetest, prettiest, and over all favorite) and those people got prizes.  We all thought it was GREAT!

At my shower we played Guess The Poo (Melt various flavors of mini-size candy bars in diapers to make it look like poo. Have each guest take a lick and guess what flavor it is!). Another game is my mom took a huge bowl and filled it with uncooked rice, mixed in a handful of small safety pins and whoever picks out the most safety pins WHILE BLINDFOLDED wins. <--It's harder than it sounds! We also played a game where my mom took the labels off of lots of different baby foods and everyone had to try it and guess what kind it is.

My sister also got these awesome scratch-offs (kinda like lottery tickets) off of eBay and those were a hit! Have fun! :)

We had two baby showers this year for two of my daughters.  Both sexes attended.  This game went over really big for some reason and it is so simple. The funny thing to me was the men loved it more then the women! 

Get a large ball of string (we ran out and had to find more string)  ....

As people arrive, hand them the string and scissors....ask them to guess how big the pregnant mom's belly is all the way around and to cut the string where they think their guess would be.     Then they hold onto the string until the game is played.

The pregnant mom takes turns and measures everyone's string to see who came the closest to her belly size.

ITS  hysterical some of the guesses!  But as I said the men were first in line!  And one of the men actually won the game at the second baby shower!

Fun, easy, and inexpensive

Baby card Bingo...Everyone gets a bingo board and writes on it the things that she thinks the mom will get. Then when presents are being opened you mark your board when she opens that present and then yell bingo when you have 5 in a row.

Make the baby. Put people in groups with a time limit. Then give them a paper and magazines and they have to find different eyes, nose, mouth, body, hair and design the cutest baby. Then the mom judges who wins and gets all of the pics as a keepsake!

At my baby shower we used one of my cabbage patch dolls and had to dress her. You pair two people together and they have to dress the baby doll.( we used a tshirt, diaper and booties.) the catch is they can each only use one hand.  so its like their one person.  One uses their left hand and the other their right hand their other hand is tied together to their partners. the couple that did it the fastest won.
