Who's That Beautiful Baby? When mailing the invitations, enclose a request to have each guest bring their baby picture to the party. At the beginning of the party put each photo into a zip lock baggy with a number showing on the back. Bring out the photos on a bulletin board tacked up using the edges of the baggy and have each guest guess who belongs to which picture. The one who guesses the most wins. It's a nice ice breaker - so do this game early on. Paper Baby Shape Give each guest a piece of paper. Whenever you say go, they have to try to tear out their paper into the shape of a baby while holding the paper behind their backs. Allow them a couple of minutes to do this. Whoever has the best baby wins. Have the guests sign their babies and give them to the mom to be. Pacifier Game Buy some inexpensive pacifiers and tie them on colorful ribbons. When the shower guests arrive give them each a pacifier to wear. Explain that every time they see another guest cross their legs they can retrieve their pacifier. The one with the most pacifiers at the end of the party is the winner and gets a prize. Name That Nursery Rhyme Game Have papers numbered 1 through 10 and give them to each guest. Have the hostess read one or two lines of popular nursery rhymes (throw in a couple harder ones). The guest who guesses the most correct wins a prize. Baby Item Memory Game Before the game starts put 20 small items associated with babies on a tray. These should be items such as a diaper pin, socks, booties, bottle, toy, pacifier, baby brush, baby washcloth etc. Give each of your guests a piece of paper and a pencil to write down their answers. To start the game bring the tray into the room and place it where all the guests can see it but tell them not to touch, leave the tray in that position for one minute and tell the guests to memorize the items that are on the tray, then remove the tray from the room and give the guests five minutes to write down on pieces of paper what all the items were. The guest who gets the most items correct is the winner. Name That Baby Tune Record parts of songs that have the name "Baby" in the title. Play little pieces of the songs to your guests and have them write the song title on a sheet of paper. The one with the most song titles right wins! Make sure if you have a mixed age guest list that you pick songs from a few eras. Fun game! Some idea for songs: Baby-Baby-Baby - TLC Alphabet Baby Name Game Start the game by saying a baby name that starts with A. Have the person next to you continue with a B name, the next person with a C name and so forth. If a player cannot give a name within a 5 seconds during their turn, they are out of the game. Keep going until one player remains. This gets tricky after a few rounds, especially with X, Y and Z names. How Many Things in the Baby Bottle Game Fill a baby bottle full of some inexpensive item such as qtips or cotton balls. Have each guest guess how many are in the bottle. The closest to the actual number wins a small prize. String Game Pass around a ball of yarn and scissors; have each guest guess how long of a piece will wrap around the mom to be's waist. Once everyone has their string; measure the yarn around the mom's waist, cut and pass the mom’s string around to each guest to find who cut the closest one. The closest in length wins.
