After planning the food menu and decorations and speeches it is time to think about what games to play. If this occasion is to be a happy joyous fun filled event with guaranteed laughter then a sure way of this happening is to choose the right baby shower party games.
One fun game to play at baby showers is “Baby Trivia”. This game can be purchased online from a number of retailers or constructed by the hostess with a little independent research. It is a multiple choice game whereby the hostess will ask a number of questions related to pregnancy and childbirth and the guests will have to supply the answers. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize, such as a photo album or stationary with that theme.
Try Adding A Season Touch
The baby shower is an opportunity for the Mom-to-be to be showered with gifts, but for a bed-resting mom a little fun and levity will go a long way. There’s nothing more personal and intimate than a “bed.” She’s supplying the ambiance, so, it’s up to you to supply the rest. Relaxing candles, soothing music and even company outfitted in comfortable bed clothes (fun PJ’s like Dr. Denton’s) can help put a mom-to-be at ease. Suspend the tradition of shower games and give each other manicures, pedicures, and facials while dishing a bit.
Follow these wonderful baby shower ideas and tips, you’ll know how to buy or make your own party favors that save you money and they can be personalized to fit any theme or wishes of the mother to be.
Any Decorations?
If a mommy-to-be lives out of town, a great idea is to give gift cards or send the baby shower gift directly to her home and give her a picture of the item she will be receiving. This way she is not burdened with bringing gifts back with her while being pregnant and everyone saves on shipping. Decorate the baby shower party perimeter by taking newborn size diapers, filling them with rocks, marbles, anything heavy, and basically wrapping up the rocks as if it were babies bottom.
Essential items are always needed and many times not realized by the mommy-to-be. A great baby shower gift and decoration is to get baskets for each table and place essential baby items in like diapers, pacifiers, bottles, etc. The parents-to-be will really appreciate your help and will realize it after a few weeks with their new addition.
