Baby shower games help needed!

[cat19]

My mother's bff's daughter just had a baby and they are having a shower next week. Help me out with games for her! They waited until after the baby because she lost triplets last year and they were afraid to have the shower before the baby was born.

Oh man, what a sad story, but how exciting that the baby is here!

One of those name the song/lyric games with "baby." So, "Baby, Baby, the stars are shining for you" Answer: Amy Grant, Baby, Baby.

I threw a shower for a friend last summer and she wanted really low-key, non-embarassing games. Here's what we played:

Memory game - I hung about 20 small baby items on a clothesline (pacis, onesies, small toys). It was one of the main decorations. We didn't tell anyone that it would be later used for a game. About an hour into the shower I took the clothesline down. We then gave everyone paper and they had to list as many items as they could remember from the clothesline.

Decorating onesies - I bought a bunch of white onesies in different sizes and everyone decorated one using fabric markers.

The Price is Right - We displayed a diaper bag and all the items needed to fill it on a table and everyone guessed how much the contents and bag cost. The closest to the actual price won.

How many - I filled three jars, one with baby socks, one with pacis and one with pink and blue jellybeans and everyone tried to guess how many of each item were in each jar.

We set the decorating, price is right and how many games up as stations and people just wandered and did them as we were eating and socializing. We annonced the winners at the end of the shower. That way no one felt pressured to play or put on the spot. People participated if they wanted and didn't if they didn't want to. The memory game we played halfway through the gift opening to give the mama-to-be and the guests a break from watching/opening gifts

I am helping with one next month, and one game we are doing is the one where you have a card with a name on it, and you don't know the name. You have to ask people questions to find out who you are. Everyone has one on their forehead, and the first 3 to get it right win a prize.

I am doing a famous moms and babies theme for it.

We did the bingo card game where we pre-printed blank bingo cards and guests filled them out with what they thought I would get. We bought candies that they used to cover their boards with. Winners got bath and body works prizes.
