Shower activity

My mom asked me to come up with some shower activities since she knows I am not a big fan of shower games.

I was thinking a head band, hat making activity. We know we are having a little girl, so I thought we could buy the materials and people could mix and match and make them.

Is this too in depth? has anyone does something similar??

Re: Shower activity

  • I am not big on shower games either.  The one game at my shower will be for people to guess what we are naming our baby and whoever guesses right gets a prize.  Short and fun (hopefully for some people!).

  • Is it a couples or women only shower?  Most of the showers I've hosted have been couples, so we pretty much limit the games b/c everyone protests them anyway.

    We've been successful with baby pictionary - where the hosts come up with baby terms and then we split up into 2 teams (usually guys vs girls) and play first person to 10, or something like that.

    For women only, i thought it was fun doing the guess the mom's belly size using a string (obviously you'd have to be okay with that) - its hilarious to see how off people are.

    I definitely HATE the baby food tasting game - its horrible.  Don't make your guests taste baby food.  The only good thing that came out of that is I confirmed I wouldnt ever give my baby meat based baby foods. . . NASTY.

  • Another cute idea I saw was to decorate onesies . . . but I'm guessing that would be time consuming.

  • I saw the title of this post and thought it was going to be about sexy steamy shower time with your husband! Whoops.

  • I'm not crazy about most games either. i don't wanna eat baby food and i don't want people guessing how fat i am. we are doing a bingo game where people fill in on the bingo board what gifts they think i will get and then they play bingo as i open my gifts.

     I think the headband/hat idea is cute!

  • We did the decorating of baby clothes at a shower I hosted last year. We had a selection of hats, t-shirts and onesies iin different sizes so baby wouldn't be stuck wearing them all quickly before they were outgrown! It went down well, yes it took a while but as that was the only 'game' we had, then it didn't matter.

  • I've been to showers where we have decorating stations for onesies and bibs.  There was also another one where guests wrote words of encouragement or advice to the parents on pre-cut stationary.  This would be added to a baby scrapbook that was given to the parents as a gift.
