Non-lame baby shower games?

[verycontrary247]

I forgot SIL put me in charge of games for my sister's baby shower on Saturday. What are some good ones?

Does not exist.

the only ones i ever enjoyed were:

guess the baby - have everyone bring a baby picture of themselves. the guest that guesses the most correct matches wins.

the price is right - buy several small baby items from the mom-to-be's registry - wipes, lotion, diaper cream, etc. each guest has to guess the retail price for each item. the guest that guesses the total price of all items, closest without going over, wins. mom-to-be get's all the goodies.

Don't do it

At my shower they blindfolded me and handed me a gift bag with small baby items and had me guess what they were (paci clip, diaper cream, wrist rattles, mesh feeder, baby toothbrush (the nubby kind with no bristles), bath toy, etc).

oh - at one of my showers, they did this thing where everyone was blindfolded and had to try to pick as many safety pins as they could out of a bowl full of rice. that shit was hard! it was borderline lame, but our group seemed to have fun with it. but there was booze, too, so that probably helped.

just don't plan anything that requires guessing the size of a pregnant woman's belly or guessing the flavor of baby food.

I don't know if this counts as a "game," but I like the idea of setting a timer while the mom-to-be opens gifts. When the timer goes off the person's gift who is being opened wins a prize. Set for random intervals of time.

I like games where I don't have to actually do anything lol

Guess the melted chocolate bar smashed into a diaper. Pass it around and sniff! It'll bring a tear to grandmas eye.

I don't think I have enough notice for the baby picture game, but I'm totally down for the price is right!

Match the baby animal name to the animal. So like, gosling, piglet, cygnet, tadpole, = goose, pig, swan, frog. You get the idea. Whoever matches the most in the time limit wins.

Not awesome, but not totally awful.
