I'm in charge of games for my friends baby shower which is in a couple weeks. We were thinking 3 games, but I'm not sure what to choose.
I was thinking:
-baby gift bingo
-baby word scramble
- ???
Any other suggestions??
What did you enjoy from your own baby showers?
TIA ladies
Re: baby shower games
We did the baby food guessing game at a friends shower and my sisters and everyone seemed to like it. Buy about 8-10 jars of single ingredient baby food, remove the labels, number the lids, and have everyone guess what they are.
We played it only based on color/consistency, but apparently some people play it where you can taste the baby food!
I hate baby shower games- that said my mom's BFF's put me through hell b/c of this at my showers haha.
-Blind baby food taste test
- Guess the tummy size- everyone gets to cut a string of yarn and guess how big mamas belly is around- each person takes a turn wrapping it around mamas tummy, closest one wins.
- draw what you think the baby will look like on a piece of paper on top of your head.
- list out common baby items, and other common purse items- person w/ tghe most win- call me ill explain
-guess the melted candy bar in the diaper (ewww)
- match the celeb baby name to the celeb
-grab a bunch of baby proofing items- people have to guess what they are used for.

At the last shower I went to, we played this game... It was pretty fun, but can get a little confusing.
The Left Right Game
Some games that I've played recently were:

BABY ESSENTIALS GAME
The hostess of the party buys random items from the mom's registry (wipes, washclothes, toys, bibs, bottles, etc) and displays it somewhere at the shower, unwrapped but arranged nicely. The shower guests guess the exact cost of all the items together and put their guesses in to some sort of container. When the gift giving is almost over, the hostess announces the total cost of the items and who guessed the closest to the actual price. They win a prize and the mom gets the loot.
