The most fun at the baby shower I gave for my daughter was my homemade Mad Libs. If you've ever done Mad Libs purchased from the store, you know what I'm referring to.

I wrote up a few paragraphs about how DD and her husband would react when she went into labor, rushing to get ready, driving to the hospital, etc., and then removed lots of nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs, leaving blank spaces. I did the same with a little story about bringing the baby home. Then, without letting the guests see the stories, I asked them for nouns, adjectives, verbs, and adverbs. I filled the words in as they were given to me, and then read the end results back to the guests. Lots of laughs!

Steph had a good game that I used for my nieces baby shower. We bought a bunch of different candy and candy bars, and gave them a different name/meaning. Like, Epidural=Lifesavers
Conception=Skor
Cost to raise a baby=100 Grand
Then for the food, we had a large fruit bowl (within a watermelon bowl) and muffins, as it was in the mid afternoon, after lunch, and before dinner, so nothing big and heavy. This was in August so the fruit was in season.

Went to one where they decorated the tables with bottles of Dreft detergent tied with balloons and they were given as "prizes" for the games. Of course everyone left their prizes behind.

I passed around note cards and pencils for each to write helpful hints for a new mom..A lot of excellent advise was
greatly appreciated. Some were what to do for colic..dirreah, getting them to sleep, etc.

Everyone puts a paper plate on top of their heads and has to draw a picture of the new baby. New mommy pics the best one for prize. It is almost impossible to draw a picture on the top of your head!

DGD just had a shower last month for her sister. She had prepared little dixie cups with various baby foods. Everyone got the same at the same time and had to write down what they were. She also had miniature diapers with pieces of candy bars in them. You had to guess what they were.....well, it was warm, and they all looked like poop, of course!

I went to a baby shower a few weeks ago and one game was...as each guest arrived a clothes pin was clipped to their shirt or blouse. They were told that if they heard anyone say the word "baby" that they could steal their clothes pin. Whoever had the most clothes pins at the end of the game was the winner. You would think it's easy not to say "baby", but it's not!

Another game is to take several jars of baby food. Remove the labels, but tape the type of food on the bottom of the jar. Also number each jar. Give each person a plastic spoon, pencil and paper. Each person is to taste the food and write down the jar number and what they think the food is. Most correct answers is the winner.

A disgusting game, LOL, is to take different foods and smear each food inside a newborn disposable diaper. Each diaper is numbered and each person is given a paper and pencil. They smell each diaper and write down what they think the mystery goop is. Some foods to smear in the diapers are softened Hershey chocolate bar, mashed avocado, softened Milky Way bar, Brown gravy, etc. The person with the most correct answers is winner.

Another fun game is to have the pregnant lady stand in front of everyone. Each person is to write down how many squares of toilet tissue it would take to go around her tummy. When everyone has written down their answer, the hostess takes a roll of toilet tissue and wraps it around the pregnant lady and announces how many squares it took. Whoever guessed correct number or came closest is winner.

I'm not much of a shower-game person, but I love the idea of the Mad Libs! I'll bet that was really funny.
We love Mad Libs!

there is always the take the clothespins off of the coat hanger,as if it were a clothesline,using only one hand,and nothing to aid it,..the winner has the most clothespins at the end of the time period
