What in the world do I do at a Baby Shower?

Get your ideas flowing if you are planning activities for a baby shower.
If attending the baby shower, learn what to expect.

Here are some of our favorites. But before you get started with the
games, be sure to get some prizes first. Prizes to consider are full
size (not bite size), candy bars, blue or pink pens for the sex of the
baby. Additionally, blue or pink balloons with a face drawn on the
front, or the words "winner" written across in permanent marker make for
really fun prizes as well.

After you have some up with some prizes, here our some of our favorite
games to play.

1. Fastest Diaper Changer in the West. Have smaller size balloons blown
up and hand them out to everyone who will be playing. Next give them two
diapers. Have the guest carefully put the diapers on the balloon before
the game starts. After they have already placed on diaper on the
balloon, give them the instructions that junior has just had an accident
and being the careful and delicate parent that they are , there
objective is to change the diaper without pooping the balloon. Anyone
who pops a balloon will be disqualified and whoever changes the diaper
first, will win a prize.

2. How does Mommy Measure Up? Begin by passing out some yarn to everyone
who will be playing. Next pass around some scissors and have each guest
cut the amount of yarn that will fit Mommy perfectly at her widest point
without being over or under. The person who is the closest is the winner.

3. Guess the Number of Kisses. This is used everywhere and everyone
already know how to play. Fill a jar with Kisses (jelly beans are too
typical) and have each one guess at the number of Kisses, the closest
one will win the jar of kisses.

4. The Price is Right. For this one, it is played much like the game
shows you see on television. Visit some online merchants who have both
pictures and descriptions of Baby items and print them up. Pass around
some paper and pens. Have the host narrate the online product
description and pass it around with the price blacked out. The person
who is closest to the item without going over will win a point. After
all of the items have been passed around, the person with the most point
wins.

As your can see, there are a plethora of baby shower games that can be
played for your shower. What is important to remember is to know who
your audience is going to be. This means, are the games that you are
thinking about playing fit both the audience and the theme you are
trying to create?
