games for baby showers, any tips?

Question

helping with my friends baby shower need ideas for games.

she had a girl about a month ago

Answer 1

I don't know the name of the game but it goes like this. You take a cup and place it 6-10 feet away from you, then you put a coin in between your knees and start walking towards the cup and that person has to drop the coin inside the cup. It's pretty fun. Good luck!

Answer 2

Here's a really fun game that I did for my Sister in law's baby shower:
Get about 6 clean diapers or more if you wish and number them. In each diaper you are going to put a food ingredient. For example mustard, ketchup, prunes, chocolate, etc. Something kind of realistic if you know what I mean. Wrap up the diaper as you would after being used by baby. Try to get all the diapers prepared before the party that way no one will see what you're doing. As your guest's are ready to play start by telling them that they cannot smell or touch. Open up one diaper at a time and pass it by each guest not to long though and have them write what they "think" is in the diaper. The person with the most correct answers wins the game. It is so much fun reading the answers. You will get some weird ones.

Oh I almost forgot to make sure you write the correct answers that way you won't forget what's in them.

Answer 3

take about 6 baby food jars and number them and create a key for those numbers. remove the labels and try to get people to guess what's inside. Have a table of dollar store wrapped prizes, something nice, but no big deal. people like the games, and the gloating that goes with winning too. Another game is to have each guest take a length of toilet paper. Don't tell them what it is for. Just tell them to take as much or little as the like. After each has chosen, whosever length comes the closest to the size of the mother's waist is the winner. Also a baby sticker on the bottom of the sitting chair is an easy way to have people win a prize.

Answer 4

You might try something unique and different and quite appropriate for the season. Try holding the baby shower poolside. Invite all the guest to wear a swim suit. Play the games like volleyball, and such. The safety factor while in the pool is great. You can't fall down and hurt the baby in the water no can ya. Plus it can be fun.

Answer 5

I have thrown many baby showers for my daughters and I can explain some of the games we have used.
1.Get lots of tiny gold safety pins and put them in a large bowl with lots of uncooked rice. Then you blindfold each person one at a time and have them try to get out as many of the safety pins in 1 minute as they can. The winner gets a prize.

2.Get 10 jars of baby food. Take the labels off and number them with a list of what number is what flavor. Give everyone a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. Everyone has to taste each flavor and write down what they think it is. Everyone always likes this one it seems. The one who gets the most flavors correct wins.

3.As everyone arrives at the party, give them a diaper pin to wear on their shirt. If they say the word baby and someone catches them, the person who caught them gets to take their pin. The one at the end of the evening with the most pins win.

4. Get a roll of toilet paper and have everyone rip off a strip of toilet paper that they think is the exact circumference of the expected mom. Then she has to put each one around her waist. The closest to the right size is the winner.

Hope I have helped.

Have everyone bring unwrapped gifts with baby pictures of themselves attached to them. Then have the person try and guess who each present is from based on the baby picture.
