Baby Shower Games

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Pacifiers and string

HOW TO PLAY: Loop a string through a pacifier, and then tie the string to make a necklace. As each guest arrives, give them a pacifier necklace to wear and instruct them not to say the word “baby”. If a guest catches another guest saying “baby”, they get to take that person’s necklace. The person with the most necklaces at the end of the party wins a prize.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Ribbon and scissors

HOW TO PLAY: Give a long piece of ribbon to each guest and instruct them to cut it to the length that they believe will fit perfectly around the mom-to-be’s tummy. After everyone cuts their ribbon, have each guest wrap it around the mom-to-be’s actual tummy. Give a prize to the guest who is the closest. (Make sure you only play this game with a mom who’s a good sport!)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Various baby products to hide; list of hidden items

HOW TO PLAY: Prior to the baby shower, hide the items and make a list of them. Give each guest a copy of the list and send them off to hunt around for them. The person or team that finds the most items wins.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: List of celebrity moms and their baby’s names

HOW TO PLAY: Prior to the baby shower, use the internet to search for unique names that celebrities named their children. Type a list of celebrity mom’s names on one column, and a list of their baby's names in another column. Each guest is given a list and they have to match the celebrity mom to their child’s name. The guest with the most correct matches wins.
