Here are a couple of fun ones:
"Don't say baby": everbody gets a diaper pin when they arrive, and you can pin it to an index card that explains the game if you want. For the first half-hour or so of the shower, anyone who catches anyone else saying the word "baby" gets to take their diaper pin(s). Whoever has collected the most pins when you announce that the game is over, wins.
Baby trivia: this is a team game. Make up a round of 10 baby-related trivia questions, and the team with the most correct answers wins. If you're trying to fill time, you can have two rounds of 10 questions each. Make sure you have a few extra questions (hard ones!) to use as tie-breakers, too! Use your imagination and Wikipedia to make up questions. (A human prgnancy is 9 months long--how long is pregnancy for an elephant? Rub-a-dub-dub, three men in a tub--what were their occupations?) Let me know if you want any more ideas for this one--I've done the trivia contest for bridal and baby showers and it's always fun!
The candy bar in the diaper game is fun. You take real diapers and like 7-8 different types of candy bars. You melt 1 candy bar in each diaper and then your guests guess what kind of candy bar it is. They can look at the diapers, hold them and smell them. It's fun. There is also the one where each guest cuts a piece of string as big as they think the pregnant girls stomach is. Then you measure each guest's string around the belly and the one that is closest wins. You can also have a "station" with plain white onesies and everyone can decorate a onesie for the baby. That's more fun though and not really a game. Good luck and have fun.
A fun game we tried at my brother and sister in law's baby shower was having a race drinking water from a baby bottle. I had gotten about 6 little baby bottles and filled them up with water, making sure that the holes were big enough so the water could come out better. Then you pick out 5-6 women to participate in this race. Whoever finishes their water first wins a prize. It is so funny to see grown women trying to drink from baby bottles, everyone got such a kick out of that game. At the end of the party, you give these bottles to the mom to be, with new nipples for the bottles, that way, she could use these bottles for her new baby.
Have fun!!!
hope this helps.
hi this has nothing to do with games but my sisterinlaw got books insed of cards on her gifts it was really a big hit and now the kids have lots of books.
I went to a party that on the invites the host asked for everyone to bring a baby pic. and then at the party everyone guessed who's who. Also we did a timed drinking game with beer in bottles and who ever drank it the fastest won. You can do Guess the Celebritiy Baby and put their faces on babys. Of coarse there is the guess the poop in the diapers...with assorted melted candy bars and guess which candy bar it is. I hope this helps! Have fun!
I am not sure if this has been mentioned because I don't know how to read replies yet...but I always enjoyed the dirty diaper game. melt chocolate bars in diapers and have them guess what is what. there is a variation where you put nasty smelly things like fish in the diaper and close it up and have them guess by smell.
we also found a match up the baby animal names with the type of animal they are. it was a big hit at my sister in laws shower.
there are a few sites that you can look at if you search free shower games
good luck
Thank you all very much for all of your ideas. The response was overwhelming…Shower is this weekend, and I’m sure it will be a success. Thanks again…
