Planning A Baby Shower

Baby showers are a lot of fun, especially for the pregnant mom-to-be.

Not only is this something for the baby, but now she doesn‘t have to go out and buy. Before you start planning a baby shower for someone there are a few things you should do to prepare.

The first thing you need to do is to decide whether it will be a surprise baby shower or not. There are great benefits to both, the first one being that if the mother-to-be knows she can help you out with a list of guests that she would like to be at the shower party.

However, if you decide on a surprise baby shower she’ll be flattered that you cared enough to plan and throw her a surprise baby shower, but be careful you don’t want to give her too much of surprise and put her in labor.

Making the Guest List

When it comes to making the guest list things can get a little tricky.

Find out if there is anyone that would be upset if they weren't invited.

Never leave out close family or friends, at least give them the option of showing up.

Baby Shower Games

Planning baby shower games can be a bit difficult when you have so many fun games and have a few gifts to pass out as prizes. Baby shower games are a lot of fun, here is a quick list.

Mommy’s belly

The mom-to-be stand in the center of the room and each guests get to decide how big her belly is using a string or a toilet paper sheets. Find out who guessed the closest.

Guess The Nursery Rhyme

Give each guest a sheet of nursery rhymes and have them guess the nursery rhyme or finish it. This will help everyone remember them and see who reads those bedtime stories.

Did you say Baby Game?

Each guest is giving small clothespins to wear around their neck on a necklace or on their shirt. Every time someone says “Baby” if someone catches them they get to take one pin. At the end of the party the guest with the most pins wins a prize.

The Memory Game

Using a plastic tin of some sort place a bunch of baby items in it such as, bib, thermometer, baby spoon, diaper rash crème, etc. Anything you’d use on a baby. Let each guest get a chance to look in the bin for a few seconds and take it away. Once everyone is finished have them write down everything that was in the box. The person with the most correct answers wins.

Baby Food Tasting

Have a variety of baby food in jars, take off the outside wrapper and place a number at the bottom of the jar, on a separate piece of paper write the name of each jar. Each guest is dished out a spoonful of baby food to try. Have them write down what they think each one is. The one with the most correct answers wins a prize.

Have a great baby shower and don’t forget to bring a gift.
