Create a baby shower
ideas buzz at the next baby shower you’re involved in by
suggesting some of these nifty party pleasing baby shower ideas.
You’ll transform the typical ho-hum baby shower into a fun day for
all, especially Mom-to-be who may be in need of some excitement and cheer!
1. Waist Watcher baby shower ideas.
Waist watcher baby
shower ideas can be a lot of fun IF the star of the show has a sense
of humor about her expanding figure. Pass around a ball of string or cord
of ribbon and a pair of scissors. Each baby shower ideas party member
attempts to guess how much string is needed to fit around the Momma's
middle.
If Mom is a good
sport, she tries on each string. The person with the most accurate estimate
wins a prize. Great baby
shower ideas for coed baby showers!
Add a twist to this baby shower ideas for some fun
ice-breaking. Have the guests wrap the string around his/her own finger. As
the string is being wrapped, each player explains how they know the
mother-to-be and give a piece of advice. The longer the string the more the
baby shower ideas participant has to talk!
2.
Advice....with spice baby shower ideas!
Everyone’s an
expert at baby rearing...until it’s their turn, that is. Pass out note
cards and pencils to each baby shower ideas participant and prepare for
some mixed-up advice on how to get past the humps.
Have each person
write down a typical question such as "What do you do when a baby
cries?" or "How do you get a baby to sleep through the
night?". Then, collect the cards and redistribute them face down (so
you cannot see the question). Next, have the baby shower ideas participants
write the answer to their original question on the blank side of
their new card. Then read the baby shower ideas questions and answers on each
cards and get ready to laugh! You may want to caution Mom at this point
against actually taking advice to questions like "What do you do when
a baby cries?" when the answer is "shake it up and down until
it's ready"!
3.
Balloon Relays baby shower ideas.
Grandma may not be
up for this baby shower ideas,
but hopefully there are a few zippy gals at your baby shower who are
willing to go for it! Place two laundry baskets across the room from each
other, one filled with about 10 party balloons. Divide the baby shower ideas participants
into two teams and watch the hysterics as your guests waddle across the
room, clutching a balloon between their knees. The object of this baby
shower ideas is to land the balloon in the other laundry basket without
using hands. (Shaking, wiggling and hopping over the basket to free the
balloon are all encouraged.) . After the baby shower ideas participant gets
her balloon in the basket, she runs back to her team so the next team
member can begin. Up to two teams can go at the same time using four
baskets. Whichever baby shower
ideas team gets the most balloons in the basket within a certain
time frame wins. Make sure to give mom-to-be an honorary turn.
4. Guess the Number of Jelly Beans baby shower ideas.
Fill a baby bottle with little jelly beans (or other small candy,
try to find baby themed candy at candy stores). Show the baby shower ideas participants the baby
bottle and have them guess how many beans or candy are in the baby bottle.

of candy in the guessing game for the baby
shower ideas for a low calorie version!
5.
Clothes Pin Grab baby shower ideas.
Another baby shower ideas relay using
clothes pins and milk bottles. Choose two baby shower ideas participants to hold a long cord
outstretched. The cord should already be set up with numerous clothes pins
attached, thus resembling a clothes line. Each baby shower ideas participant
uses ONE hand to remove as many clothes pins off the line as possible. The
catch is that she can not transfer any pins to her other hand. She must use
the same hand to hold and grab. As soon as she drops one, she’s out of
this baby shower game.
6.
Dirty Diapers baby shower ideas.
Fold white napkins
or cloths into little diapers and fasten each with a small diaper pin. Place
an unwrapped Hershey's chocolate kiss inside one of the napkins. Hand the
"diapers" out to the baby shower ideas participants. Whoever lands the
dirty diaper wins the "poopie" prize - a queen-size bag of
chocolate kisses. (Warning: winner may lose appetite for chocolate kisses.)
Here’s another
less tasteful version of the baby shower ideas diaper game. Before the baby
shower, take some disposable diapers and number them on the outside. Then,
spread the inside of each with various food items having distinctive smells
(i.e. tuna, horseradish, Italian dressing, garlic, mustard) Close each
diaper up.
When you’re ready
to play baby shower ideas,
pass out paper and pens to the baby shower guests and then quickly grab your
camera for hilarious photo ops. Pass each diaper around for the players to
smell, trying to identify the odors. The one with the most correct guesses
wins!
7. Baby Product Logo baby shower ideas.
Collect several magazine ads of baby products. Cut out the brand name
and put the ads on stiff paper. Number the ads from one to twenty. The baby
shower ideas guests can either look at the ads on a wall or the ads can be
passed around. The baby shower ideas guest who names the most wins.
Variations include taping the commercials on a cassette tape or reciting the
catch phrase.
8. Name Poem baby shower ideas.
If mom has already selected her baby’s name, divide the baby shower ideas guests into teams
and have them create a poem using the letters of the name. "S" is
for smiles, "C" is for coy, "O" is for ouches because it’s
a boy, "T" is for tumble - he’ll do this a lot, Another
"T" for good measure - this precious boy is named
"Scott"!
9.
Baby Expression baby shower ideas.
Create a sheet of
four to six baby pictures from magazines, mother-to-be photo album, family
albums, etc.. Make photocopies of the sheet and hand out to each baby shower ideas player. Then,
have the baby shower ideas

is trying to say in each picture! This will definitely give Mom a good laugh
later on when she’s attempting to decipher baby mumbo jumbo!
