Are you in charge of the baby shower,
but have no idea what to do? There's always the 'opening presents'
part and the cute cake, but what if you want to add a bit of 'spirit'
to the party? How can you cater to the mom-to-be's silly side while
still keeping the 'baby' theme? Here are a few baby shower games that
should have everyone laughing.
Toilet-paper diaper. Have you
ever been to a bridal shower where they played 'toilet paper bridal
gown'? Put a twist on it with 'toilet paper diaper'. Divide up in
teams and give everyone five minutes to 'diaper up' one team member
with toilet paper. Whoever comes up with the best of most creative
'diaper' in that time wins. Be sure to take plenty of pictures to put
up on Facebook or use for 'blackmail'. :)
Chug, chug, chug. Put punch,
beer or whatever in a baby bottle and see who can 'suck it dry'
first.
PJ 'pop art'. Get a bunch of
onesies and some puffy paint, paint pens, etc to decorate. Whoever
makes the most creative onesie gets a prize. If you can't think of a
prize, chocolate always works!
Baby belly relay race. Make a
'belly' out of a fanny pack or some other sling-like contraption.
Divide up in teams and have a relay race. Instead of passing a baton,
everyone has to pass and put on the 'belly'. This should be a lot of
fun, especially considering that some of those fanny packs like to
fall off!
Pin the baby on the mommy. Draw
or blow up a picture of the mom to be and play 'pin the baby on the
mommy', with the goal being the mom's belly. Give a prize to whoever
gets closest. You could also use her arms as the goal or give a prize
to whoever is farthest away.
Afternoon 'feeding'. If the
shower is on a nice day, go outside and divide everyone up into teams
of two. Give each person a disposable bib and a cup or applesauce,
pudding or something else that can make a mess. Like a newly-married
couple feeds each other the wedding cake that the same time, have
each person 'spoon-feed' their partner. Whoever gets to the bottom of
their cup wins. For a twist, you can give a time limit and give a
prize to whichever team has gotten the messiest!
Don't say 'baby'.
When each person arrives, give them a 'necklace' of
clothespins or diaper pins to wear. For the entire party, everyone
has to avoid saying the word 'Baby'. If anyone hears someone say the
'secret word', they call the person on it and take one of their pins.
Be prepared for a lot of yelling and laughing! Give a prize to the
person with the most pins at the end of the party. If you want, have
everyone pin the diaper pins to their clothes so they have to walk
around with little ducks or Mickey Mouse hanging from their shirts
all afternoon!
As you can see, there are plenty of
ways you can add a bit of silliness to any baby shower. Enjoy!
