There are many baby shower party ideas that can make it fun. It is a celebration and it is meant to be fun. Playing games at the shower can not only be fun but memorable as well. To make sure the games are fun, they should be properly planned. Before playing any games, it is a good idea to have an ice breaker game if there are a lot of people that do not know each other. One way is to go around the room and have people introduce themselves on how they know the soon to be mommy.
One fun game is guess mom’s belly size. Have each guest take a piece of yarn and cut it at the length they think the belly is all the way around. When everyone cuts their yarn, compare the strings to the actual belly. Give a prize to the person who is the closest.
Another fun game is to never say baby the entire day. Make a necklace with yarn and baby safety pins attached to it. Give each person a necklace as they walk into the shower. Each of the guests should wear the necklace the entire baby shower, as this game will last the entire time. The rules for this game are explained as guests walk into the shower. When the word baby is said, anyone who calls it out gets a pin from the other person who said the word. Before guests leave, pin will be counted, and the person with the most pins wins.
An easy and fun game is to make a centerpiece full of baby safety pins and have each person guess how many pins are in the jar. That person wins the centerpiece.
Baby Bingo is also a classic and fun game for everyone. The bingo cards need to be made ahead of time. Make bingo cards with the numbers one through 15 on them. When the mommy to be opens a gift, she reads off the number that has been attached to it. Eventually someone will yell bingo and win a prize.
One last game that really involves everyone personally is to play a game in which people guess baby pictures. Ask everyone on the invitation to bring a picture to the baby shower. As guest walk in, put them on a collage. When there is time, have everyone fill out who they think is who. Whoever guesses the most right wins!
These are just some baby shower party ideas. It would be too much to do all of them, but a few are some great ice breakers and fun to get the rest of the people involved. Even though this day is about the mom to be, guests should still be involved and have fun with each other and win some prizes. Prizes can be simple things like a body of lotion from a nice store, a $10 gift card to a popular restaurant, or make the centerpiece of the table a prize for one of the games as well. This is a great way to say thank you to all guests for coming!
