Have a Great Time at a Baby Shower

A baby shower is a wonderful time to give gifts to the mother-to-be that will help to make her life easier when the new baby arrives.

Pictures of the shower are an important part of any picture album for the baby.

The decorations are generally done in the theme of the nursery and include balloons, banners, a decorated cake and a variety of food.

Usually the shower is just for women and invitations are sometimes sent in the mail, but in smaller towns, the people organizing the shower often telephone family and friends to give them the details of when and where it will be held.

Kinds of Fun Games

Baby shower games are often different from other party games.

In some areas, the main focus is on playing cards or bingo, with guessing games interspersed throughout the afternoon or night. These include:

• Guess the number of candy in the bottle
• Guess the number of toothpicks in an orange
• Guess the size of the mother's stomach

More Games

Other games that are often played at a shower include:

• How many clothespins can you take off a hanger with one hand? The person who can take off the most gets a prize.
• Find the name of the baby in a balloon by bursting it.
• Have the guests collect clothespins from other guests that do something, such as crossing their legs. The person who has the most at the end of the shower gets a prize.
• Have a roll of paper towel with directions on each sheet. As each guest tears off the sheet, she has to perform the activity or answer the question on the sheet.
• Have a competition between two guests as to who can drink a baby bottle filled with juice in the shortest amount of time.
• Have guests give a total of what a collection of pictures of baby furniture and accessories would cost?

There are so many ideas for games you can play at a shower that the possibilities are almost endless.
