You have a baby on the way and it’s time to celebrate! Now that the guests have been invited, and the menu has been chosen, it’s time to determine what activities you are going to do to entertain your guests. Our team at Baby Smiles Labels wanted to help, so after some extensive searching and pouring over Pinterest boards, we’ve put together a list of our five favorite games to play at a baby shower that won’t embarrass you or your guests.
Baby Sketch Artists
Start this game by handing out paper plates and a marker to every guest. Next, tell them that they will be creating the best portrait of a baby they can draw, and the best artist will be the winner. The only catch, is that every “artist” must draw their picture with their plate on their head. With no way to see your creation, and an uneven drawing surface, you are sure to get some hilarious, abstract, masterpieces.
Coaxing Out “Baby”
If you’re a new mom, chances are you have been talking about your upcoming bundle of joy every chance you get. For this game to be played, the mom-to-be should have no idea it is being done. At the beginning of the party, have guests place bets for the number of times the mom-to-be will say the word “baby” during the party. Whoever comes closest without going over at the end of the party is the winner. Those who guessed higher numbers will casually attempt to coax the word out at any opportunity; while those hoping for fewer mentions do everything they can to change the subject. Reveal the game to the mom-to-be at the end of the party!
Feed the Baby
The baby is here early with this hilarious party game. Nothing leads to more laughter than seeing adults make fools of themselves. For this game, give every person a large bib and divide the guests into teams of two. Each team will then be blindfolded and given a jar of baby sauce and two baby spoons. The goal is to feed your partner all of the applesauce as quickly as possible. Make sure to go one at a time, so everyone else can watch. Record each team’s time and give the winners a prize! Give the soon-to-be-mom a taste of the feeding process she will soon get to experience!
Juke Box Baby
Create a playlist of the best songs you know that contain the word “baby” in the title. From Sir-Mix-a-Lot jams to Brittany Spears anthems, put together the best baby mix tape you can make. Play the songs at the party and have guests write down the title and artist of as many as they know. If you’re sending guests home with party favors, consider creating CD versions of your playlist with a homemade cover for guests to take home with them.
Baby Bingo
Who says the party has to pause while the gifts are being opened? With Baby Bingo, full attention is on the guest of honor. As the soon-to-be mom opens her presents, guests can mark the corresponding gift squares off their bingo boards. As the bottles, books, diapers, and blankets are unwrapped; guests get closer to a Bingo. First one to mark off a whole line wins a gift!
