Just as an option... A lot of showers these days don't do games and activities. My shower will be a party/bbq with men and women, normal socialization, beer, you get the picture.

The bingo game is fun and makes watching you open presents enjoyable! Lol. Make blank bingo sheets and people write what they think you'll get..first person with a bingo wins. We usually have a couple winners.

One of my best friends had a baby last year and at her shower we did a "match the baby animal to its mom" game. It was super cute and there was a good mix of easy and challenging questions. This particular friend is a HUGE animal lover, so it was perfect for her.

My mom bought birthday cards for ages 1-18 to pass out to some of the guests (especially the grandparents and older aunts/family friends). They were asked to write a special message/birthday wish for that particular birthday and then seal up the envelopes. They are marked on the front of the envelope which birthday they are for so every year we get a new one to open. She did it for my niece and nephew as well and it's really a special moment at each birthday to read the card and find out who it was from.

A great game is to have people write fun messages on the back of diapers to make middle of the night changes more fun

Just don't do the candy bars melted in the diaper game. Ugh.

We are doing the same thing! The only baby "activity" we have is to decorate a onesie. Then we have our normal just tailgate games we play, but there will be beer and liquor for all!

We're doing coed and will be playing sperm corn hole

. Maaaaaybe not appropriate if you'll have a bunch of kids.

Here are a few of my favorites:

1. Match that celebrity with their odd baby name

2. Onesie decorating

3. Finish that nursery rhyme

At my shower this past weekend we played a price is right game where everyone guessed prices of baby items and whoever had their total closest to the actual total won. The other game consisted of my husband and I answering a set of questions (ex: what trait do you hope your baby gets from your spouse, and what celebrity name would you name your baby). The shower host used one of the answers we provided and shower guests guessed whether mom or dad provided the answer. That game went over really well!

The party/bbq is the kind of shower we're having. I mean no offense to those playing games but I hate going to a bridal/baby shower and being forced into them....UNLESS there are some good prizes involved...and alcohol haha. Then competition gets the best of me. We are also doing a display shower. No one likes sitting there for an hour watching someone else open gifts...again, unless there is alcohol involved (and you aren't pregnant.)

I like the practical things:
- Advice for the mom and dad
- Wishes for the baby
- Baby names - if you are having trouble deciding. If you choose the name from someones list then they get a prize after the baby is
born.

I am sorta dreading my shower because my mom is going old school and having some silly games. I am worried people will be bored to death - I know I would be! But she's so excited I'm just letting her do her thing and I really do appreciate it. Except she wants to play one game where people guess the size of my belly. I've told her absolutely not. And my sister will be reiterating that this week. We need an alternate game to substitute in so I'm finding this thread quite helpful!

In lieu of a card, my host is asking guests to consider bringing their favorite childhood book. This will give a range of great reads and the guest can write a little note in the book to the baby

I had a shower this past weekend and my aunt did the cutest thing.... She had little brownie bite cupcake treats, each with a candle... Every guest made "a wish" for me and little man.

Super sweet and had me tearing up. My mom was quick with a pen and wrote them all down for me too!

RondaRassat · March 2015

we're playing the NAME GAME. your mom and ur babys fathers mom get together...your mom will make a list of some things u did as a baby/child growing up and his mom will do the same, mix them up a bit and have people guess which one of you did what.

prizes for the one with the most answers correct! SHOULD BE A BLAST!

I'm really hoping my aunts don't plan any games. They didn't for my wedding shower. But I've got zero hand in this thing, with the exception that they're using my house to hold it in, so we'll see what happens.
