newlifemom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 This shower is for a woman in my church I do not know that well. She has already had her baby, so how big is her stomach won't do. Although, even pregnant, how big is your stomach won't do. ;) I was thinking of having a "what's your most outrageous poopy baby story and have two people judge it with a prize to the winner. What say you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well, I don't do poopy baby stories. So.. I'd lose on that one. BUT, I like the ones where you fill out things in the story and then read it.... And, I think it's funny to have one person write down what the person says... without them knowing .... and then read it all together. I've seen that... Pin the diaper on the whatever is funny... Hmmm. i'll think... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I went to one where there was a multiple choice quiz about random baby facts. Things like how many diapers an average baby used in a year, what is a pacifier called in England, other silly baby facts. The one with the most right won the prize. It was fun...especially because I won :) Then again, I was on baby #4 and the shower was for a young friend on her first and all of her friends either had no babies or one. They were all very impressed by my baby knowledge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punchie Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 How many jelly beans in the bottle. How many baby items on the tray can you remember (nail clippers, pacies, baby spoon, etc...). How many names can you make out of mom/dad's first names. How many words related to babies can you think of - one for each letter A-Z.

Belacqua Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Maybe you could adapt the classic Two Truths and a Lie. Have participants tell three anecdotes about their own kids, two of which are true. Let people try to guess which one was fictional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn1129 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 one of my faves was guess the candy bar on the diaper. yup, 5 dipes with 5 different candy bars all smooshed up. whoever got the most right won. it was so gross that it was funny, and everyone loved it. :) Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Gross games always make me feel too sick to have a good time. I have a weak stomach like that. I'd go for a name the weird celebrity baby or name the baby of literary characters or bible characters type of game. Others have suggested good ideas. You could do a guess the baby food flavor game.

LostSurprise Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Clothesline with clothespins...each guest attempts to grab as many as they can with 1 hand Diaper pins...each guest gets one. The first person to say the word 'baby' (or something else equally difficult) looses their pin to the person that hears them (first claim). Person with the most pins at the end wins a prize.

newlifemom Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I have three games [ no diapers with candy bars. Did that once, ew.:tongue_smilie:] Getting to know you - as people come in will be getting a sheet of paper and have to find someone who . . . What's on the tray Most outrageous poopy baby story. I have chosen two judges and will demonstrate with either the one where dd-Kate projectile pooped across the nursing room at church and hit the wall, or when she was a year old and pooped all over the floor of the outdoor shower at the beach. :D My goal is to take a fairly large group of women who don't know each other very well and bring them together. I do like the safety pin one, but that would require more prep than I have time for at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I know you have games, but I like gift bingo at showers. It gives people something to do while gifts are being opened. Each person gets an empty bingo card, and they fill the spaces with things they think she'll receive. As presents are opened, they mark their spaces until someone gets bingo. It does work a little better at wedding showers where there tends to be more variety to the gifts, but I suppose you could fill in different types of baby clothes.

KatieJ Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Playing the Baby Shower Candy Bar Game The baby shower candy bar game focuses on pregnancy, labor, delivery, and parenting. There are a few variations of the game, but the gist of it involves matching stages of baby's growth and birth to specific candy bars. You've probably never made the connection between pregnancy and birth to the names of candy bars, and neither have many of your shower guests. This is a fun way to celebrate the birth of the new baby, and it's a delicious way to have fun as well! Game Variation One For this variation, you don't actually have to have the candy bars on hand. Instead, print out a list of words that are associated with having babies, such as conception, pregnant belly, epidurals, and breastfeeding. These are just a few of the terms that can be used in the game. Have guests list as many candy bar names as possible that could be linked to each of these terms, such as Skor, Chunky Candy Bar, Lifesaver, and Milky Way. Because it might be difficult for some guests to think of various candy bar names, you could have guests play in pairs or teams. You might be surprised to discover that guests come up with quite a few candy bar names, including some you haven't thought of! For a simpler way to play, print out a list of candy bars and a list of pregnancy and childbirth terms for players to match. Ads by Google Personalized Candy Bars - No Time?

Fill a bowl with one of each of the candy bars to use as prizes for the winners. Tape or glue the remaining bars to a poster board to display to guests. Hand each guest a sheet of paper with the clues listed on the paper, or hand them a blank sheet of paper and call out the clues. Guests should then match the clues to the candy bar.

mom2jjka Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 It's not a 'game' per se, but one cute thing we did at my friend's shower - I purchased some fabric paint and a couple of packs of white 'onsies' ahead of time, and all of the guest helped decorate/personalize the onsies. It was fun and the baby had a a cute addition for her wardrobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
