Re: Baby shower games?

  • My SIL asked me to plan a game for her bridal shower. I am not a fan either. We did gift BINGO, which you could do with a baby shower too. We gave prizes to the first three people who won.

  • I have a word scramble...lee mail me if u want it

    Candy in a bottle and guess the amount

    Take labels off baby food and guess by looking and smelling

    Bingo 

  • not sure how many people are going to be there. but something they did for my wedding shower was that they got a bunch of jokes/quotes about love and marriage. they printed them out, and gave each guest a different one. ( so you could do funny jokes or quotes about being a mom or having a baby).

        before she opens that guest's present, the guest has to read their quote/joke out loud.

       it was a cute way to keep people entertained during the present openeing.... people were laughing at the funny quotes, and "aww"-ing at the  sweet/sentimental ones. not really a game, but more of an ice breaker/ involvment type thing

       it works best with a shower thats not TOO huge, though- because it could drag out the present opening :-)

  • I just went to a shower in December and the dirty diaper game was a hit. We were all sniffing and tasting the stuff it was so funny.

    For those who do not know it. One person picks out 8 different candy bars and  get 8 newborn diapers. Number the front of each diaper 1-8 write the candy names on a peice of paper and number 1- 8. Take each candy bar and put in each diaper by number. Put answer sheet away. Right before everyone arrives microwave each diaper so candy melts.  Make a sheet with names of the candy and number 1 -8. pass the diapers around and give everyone 10 minutes to write down their answers. Have about 10-20 little gifts available for the winners.

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Just had my baby shower today. At everyones place setting was a card and everyone had to think of what names could you make out of mine and DH's name. Then we did the gift bingo.
