Shower Games

My mother and I have hosted three baby showers and they were all really fun!!

The one that I liked the most was when we decided to also invite the men and had it outside in my back yard. It's a big yard and it's really pretty so we just decorated a bit and put up a party tent. We had bbq to accommodate the guys and then all the little girly foods also.

We played a number of games that were really fun and I would like to share these with you!

The diaper game:
this game was played by the women and their partners (i had three cousins that were pregnant at the same time so they were the ones who played) we bought adult diapers and the object of the game was to have the men crawl from one side of the yard to the other where the mommy was waiting and then they had to lay down while the mommie put the diaper on the guy. Then the guy had to crawn back where he started and whoever got there first won!! This was hilarious to see (of course the diaper was put on over their pants)

baby food game:
two people were blindfolded. One sits down with their hands behid their backs. One is standing up with a jar of gerber and a spoon. The person standing up has to feed the person sitting down with the spoon. Whoever finishes first wins. Since they are both blindfolded the person eating the gerber usually ends up with food all over their face! It's so funny.

Bottle drinking:
this is like the gerber eating game except we bought baby bottles and cut a bit of a larger hole in the nipple. We filled them up with beer and once again they are both blind folded and whoever is drinking the beer has their hands behind their back, the person that holds the bottle can't use his/her hands to find the other person's mouth. We like to put the two people at least four feet away from each other (facing each other) so that it is hard to find the person and their mouth right before they start drinking.

Baby dressing game:
we find a few dolls that can be dressed up and we find all the little things that babies wear. We then see who can dress the doll the fastest and that's who wins.

Act like a baby game:
prior to the baby shower we write down all the little things that babies do. We then put them in a basket and have everyone pick out a little piece of paper. We then have everyone standing in a circle and one by one they go into the circle and act out the baby action that is written in the little piece of paper. Examples are: crying like a baby, poutting, their first steps, making spit bubbles, throwing a fit, pooping in their diaper or being constipated, going crossed eyed, sucking their thumb and so on.

I hope this gives some people a few ideas about baby games!
