Baby Shower Games

So you’ve gotten the job of planning a shower for someone who is expecting. This is both an exciting and frustrating thing. It’s wonderful knowing that you get to share in the joy of such an important occasion, but with all the details to take care of, it can become overwhelming very quickly. There are many things to consider including the invitations, the food and the baby shower games.

When it comes to the invitations and the food for the shower it’s best to consider what the mom-to-be would like. If it’s a surprise shower, you’ll have to put some extra thought into this. If she is well aware that it’s happening, you have the luxury of asking her what she’d enjoy. This makes the job much easier. When it comes to the baby shower games there are resources that you can turn to for help as well, and one of those is the Internet.

Many websites have dozens of ideas that will help someone planning any type of shower, be it wedding or baby. This includes many different baby shower games that are fun for everyone attending including the expectant mom and the guests. One of the baby shower games that have been popular for decades is a word search. The type of word search puzzle that you’ll use for a baby shower will include words that focus on an infant. With baby shower games where the participants have to complete a task, like puzzles, you can have a prize for whoever finishes first. This gives everyone a little extra push to do their best.

Another really fun idea that many new moms particularly enjoy involves baby food. The host purchases several different types of baby food and places them each in small dishes. With a few plastic spoons for tasting, each guest must sample the infant delicacies and write down what they think it is. Before you play baby shower games that involve food be certain that no one is allergic to anything that is in the products. You certainly don’t want to cause any discomfort to your guests during the baby shower games.

Finally the new mom is really the center of attention on this special day so why not devise a task just for her? One of the baby shower games that will put the expectant one on the spot is a dress the baby game. Here she will be blindfolded and given a plastic doll along with the various items one needs to dress an infant including a diaper, some booties and a sleeper. Then she’s twirled around a couple of times and left to dress the baby, all while her eyes are covered. This may be embarrassing for the soon to be mom but it certainly entertains everyone at the shower including the new grandmas who may just decide upon seeing the results of the dress-up game that they need to play nanny for a few weeks after the delivery.
