Does anyone have any good idea for games to play at a baby shower?

Thanks Gwen

Everyone gets a little toy pacifier (or some other item) on a string to hang around their neck and if they say the word 'baby' the first person to catch them say it confiscates their pacifier (and any others that person collected from anyone else). The person with the most pacifiers at the end wins.

Identify the baby food - take the labels off and number them and the person who guesses the most right wins.

Bring out a tray or basket of baby supplies for a short length of time then take it away. The person who can list the most items after the items leave the room wins.

Trivia - either general baby questions or questions about the mom-to-be. The person who gets the most right wins.

Word Scramble - pre-print a list of scrambled baby items and the person who unscrambles the most wins.

As the post stated above the Tray filled with baby items. What you do is have the mother to be take the tray around the room and have everyone look at it. Then have her leave until the game is over.

Then ask the guest questions about the mother to be not about the tray! Like what color shirt, did she have a watch, earrings in. This is the funniest thing. You should have seen the look on the guests face-it was priceless. You would be amazed at how observent some people are!

This one is totally great!!

Bun in the Oven Baby Shower Game

I'm not sure what the game is- sounds like make little dresses & 1 has a "bun in the oven" Kind of like diapers you make & I is "dirty" Tiny dab of mustard. If it's on that order than I would think felt 2 1/2 in to 3 inch little dresses would be fine could sew or glue the 2 identical pieces of dress together. For bun I guess you could write on back inside of 1 dress "Baby" Last yr I was at shower & each person was given large safety pin when you arrived. If you said word baby anyone that heard you could take your pin away. 1 with most pins got gift. Another game was identifying words, they were scrambled & you had to unscramble. words like diaper, bonnet, stroller, carseat, Dreft, powder,bottle, just pick words you want & then scramble & put those 20 on paper & make up as many copies as guests. Another 1 is Ads from magazines for baby things- had to identify the slogan. So hope this helps. Jan

Last 3 baby showers I went to played: Let each person pull a length of toilet paper off a roll, the one that's piece fits around mom-to-be the closest wins.2nd game, fill a bowl with uncooked plain white rice. Mix in several packages of loose safety pins. Hold the bowl over each persons head, they reach up and grab a handfull of rice and pins. The person who grabs the most safety pins wins. You need a 2nd person to be standing there with a bowl or styrofoam plate that the player can dump their handfull of rice and pins in and it can be counted before dumping back in the rice & pin bowl. It is a lot of fun when you can get male guests to play too. 3rd. game have a list of items used for baby, scramble words and see who is first to unscramble correctly all words. You can see I have been to baby showers with the past 6 months. Oh, nice suggestion, ask everybody to give a book instead of a card with gift. I found a baby cloth book at one of the craft shows I did for last baby. Mom-to-be really liked it.

One I just learned; everyone is in a circle and the leader says we're going on a sleigh ride and I'm going to bring a sweater and bells (you tell something you are bringing that starts with the first letters of your first and last name, but don't reveal that to the group). The next person tells 2 things they will bring and the leader tells them whether they can bring them on the ride or not, depending on the letters used for the items they want to bring. Continue around the group and pretty soon people will start to catch on and others won't, continue until all are frustrated or figure it out.

I can see both sides of the favor/no favor discussion.. I think it is nice to offer a thoughtful small gift to guests of a shower. Not all gatherings-- but a shower, yes. What is considered "nice" or "thoughtful" will vary greatly by region, age group, personality of the bride/mother-to-be, and personality of the event... so my recommendation is to do them if you have a good idea that seems to have wide appeal. Skip it if you don't. I just wouldn't fret over it. A number of years ago, I hosted a baby shower with a sweet pea theme. It was an outdoor buffet with no place settings so I setup a basket full of sweetpea seed packets as favors for guests. It helped decorate a table.. and it fit the event... and guests loved it. I don't like chocolate (and I especially don't like m&m's) but I know a number of grown women (and men) who would tear into a gift of m&m's. A number of our small little chocolate shops and bakeries will do little boxes that I'd absolutely use as favors for an event with a sit-down meal. I would not give any kind of decor item-- or anything that costs more than $5-$7/person.
