SIZE MATTERS
Using a piece of string, measure the mommy-to-be’s
tummy. Next, have guests guess the size by cutting a piece of string
to the predicted length. Whoever has the string that matches the true-to-life
length, wins! |

CREATION LOCATION
Was it on a tropical island? Or at a cozy ski
lodge? Wherever the baby-makin’ transpired, make it a gossipy
game of guesses! If no one guesses correctly on the first go around,
then drop a clue such as inside or outside, near or far, early or
late, first or second date! |

DRAWING BOARD
Rattles and teethers, bottles and bibs –
they may sound easy enough to draw, until, of course, you’re
put to a timed test! Script your own game of Pictionary by dividing
your party into two groups. Within each group, designate one drawer
whose team tries to guess what is being sketched! |

GOOSE or SEUSS
Have guests bring their favorite childhood book
to the shower to begin baby’s little library! But before they
present their favorite tale, guests must tell a meaningful story about
how the book played an important role in their lives. Have the host
write down each story so baby will know just how meaningful each book
is!
We suggest: baby
books |

MEMORY LANE
Have everyone bring a photo of themselves with
the mommy-to-be (as far back as possible) to help create a sweet scrapbook
for baby! A precious keepsake that baby will treasure years from now,
this is also a fun way for mom and friends to reminisce. |

GOOD TASTE
This game involves testing and guessing what
kind of culinary delights are bottled up in those baby jars! By first
taking off the labels and numbering them 1-10, let guests taste-test
each bottled “meal” before writing down their guesses.
Food for thought: If it’s good enough for baby, it’s
gotta be good enough for you! |

DECADENT DINING
By outfitting a baby shower table with a white
tablecloth and colorful markers, fancy dining is a draw away! First
write baby’s name, birth date and parent’s name in the center
of the cloth, then have guests write out a wish for the new baby,
decorate it with fanciful designs, and sign their names. This is also
great for future birthday parties!
We suggest: arts
& crafts sets |

FASHION SHOW-AND-TELL
The mommy-to-be is sure to receive plenty of
darling duds – so what better time for a baby fashion show-and-tell?
Guests can create a category for each item, then leave the expectant
mom with a handy, no-fuss reference of outfits. For example, designate
one look for naps, one for walks and one for sleepy nights!
We suggest: baby
apparel |

TIMELY THOUGHTS
If you had to write down what you think is the
most important bit of business, science, medicine, entertainment and
world news today, what would it be? Have each guest write down their
own insightful thoughts of the world’s current state of affairs
– baby will love reading them in the future! |

COMFORT ZONE
New mommies cozy up to comfort! So, have each
guest bring one item that they think will help the new mommy welcome
in motherhood. Whether it’s a receiving
blanket, cushy slippers or a bright night-light, this care package
can be gathered before the shower, then presented in one big basket.
We suggest: gifts
