Baby shower games!

I know, don't hate me. I've been put in charge of games, you know, since I won't be playing them. I found a really fun one that I think could get interesting. Most people that know me, know that I swear like a sailor. It's "Finish Mommy's Thought", and my sister said "What WON'T end in an expletive on that list". I have a jelly bean jar, easy. But I am hoping to find something unusual and different that maybe not a lot have played. In the past at others we have done price is right, celebrity baby names, word scramble, bingo, draw baby on your head (Which was really fun). I saw this one where you do trivia, win a diaper, and then when everyone has their token you open them and the dirty diaper wins. That could be neat. I enjoy trivia and making the questions could be all about different animals and their babies. Or there is one where you hand out the diapers as people arrive, and then we gather for a poem, and every time the poem says LEFT or RIGHT, you pass the diaper to the next person. Sort of a musical chairs type thing. When the poem is over you open it. Help please!
Re: Baby shower games!
Because it's a story book theme.
It sounds like you have some great ideas though!
-guess what's in the diaper.(she used chocolate for one, and I can't remember the other 2)
-she had 5 gift bags with a baby item inside, like bag 1 had a bottle, bag 2 had a pacifier, bag 3 had a diaper ... Etc. whoever guess the most right won, you didn't have to guess what bag each were in though.
-then a whoever is wearing earrings, sit down, whoever has nail polish on, sit down, whoever has flip flops, sit down... And so on until only a few people remained and got a prize !
Instead of using envelopes she just taped index cards to a board and had the cards numbered 1-30.
Baby Memory! Rachel created a memory board with numbered envelopes. Inside each envelope was a word related to pregnancy and babies and the goal was to find 2 matching words. Each girl took a turn choosing 2 envelopes - if it wasn't a match, the cards were returned into the envelopes and it was the next girl's turn to try to guess a match! Once someone guesses two numbered envelopes that end up being a match, they received a gift (all gifts are chocolate/candy) that related to the match.
Example - Sarah chooses 2 envelopes which reveal to both have the word "Pregnant Belly". Sarah wins a prize which ends up being a "Chunky Bar"!
