Baby Shower Games for Your Party
Besides speeches, great food and a great venue, baby shower games can make moms-to-be, godparents, grandparents, and other guests feel hyped for the arrival of the baby. Since a baby shower is a laid back party where everyone can slack off and play childish games again, it’s absolutely necessary to make your guests play some of the cutest and most entertaining baby shower games around.
Here are some of the popular ones…
1. Sing a Lullabye
Guests take turns singing a lullabye or a nursery rhyme. The thing is, one song cannot be repeated (so someone must be taking note of the songs that have already been sung). Guests are allowed 5 to 10 seconds to think of a song, after which they get booted out of the game. The last one left singing wins!
2. Don’t Say It!
At the start of the party, the host can announce a phrase or a word that cannot be mentioned until the end of the party is announced. This can be any word, from “diapers” to “breast feeding”, to baby brands or accessories.
Those who do can be “punished”.
Either they do a little dance number at the end of the party or they get charged with taking care of a chore for the mommy. They may also be asked to donate something, like more diapers (i mean “nappies”) or pregnancy supplements (if you’re in the market for this, by the way, check out some prenatal vitamins here)
3. How Big is Mommy?
For this game, you need a few rolls of tissue paper. Guests can split up into teams and cut up the rolls of tissue paper according to their guess as to how big mommy’s tummy is. Then, they can take turns wrapping the cut tissue paper around mommy’s tummy. The group that comes up with the closest estimate wins!
These games are a great way to let the guests mingle. After all, they probably will be seeing each other frequently from here on out, because there are a lot more “baby parties” to attend in the future (first birthday of the baby, Halloween, etc.)
