subject: Baby Shower Games [print this page] Well not only friends and family, you can also invite your colleagues and neighbors even church-groupers. Arranging a baby shower there are many things to take into consideration. The guests list, the food, the baby shower invitations, the location and beverage are all need to be settled down. Also you need to prepare some small games to make the shower more interesting and let the guests feel pleased. The games or activities can be either physical or mental. Its all depends on you. Lets see what kinds of activities are excellent for a baby shower.
Make a Wish Game
Get some candles and colored papers before hand and give the guests colored papers and let them write down a wish for the baby. Or a prayer is also OK but it needs to be personalized. Wrap the colored paper around a candle and put it in a box. Give the box to the mother-to-be before the shower ends.
Keepsake Making
This game is very funny and its very easy. The game will also please the guests. Buy several dozens of white baby T-shirts, colored markers, cartoon stamps, fabric paints and glitter or something else you want to add on the T-shirts. When the guests arrive your house give the baby T-shirts to them and ask them to draw and design the T-shirts by themselves using the things you prepared for them. They can design the T-shirts for the baby in any interesting and creative way. After this you can keep these T-shirts for the kid when he or she is born.
Beads for the Baby
You can write a message on the baby shower invitations that get some colorful bead when the guest comes. When all the guests arrived gather all the beads they are taking and make a wish or place the beads on the table one by one. At the end of it, the mother-to-be gets all the beads and then attaches the beads to a string and wears it around her neck or arms. This is a way to remember all the love and best wishes from the guests to the baby.
The Time That Was Like
When you send out the baby shower invitations remember tell the guests to bring the invitations when they come. And tell the guest to bring some news paper or magazines on that day. Keep the invitations and newspaper or magzine for the baby and when the baby grows up show them to the kid. He or she will understand the world before he or she was born.
Few Minutes to Fame
This idea is great for a baby shower. What is essential is a camcorder or video camera. The father-to-be or someone else in the family interviews the all the guests in the baby shower party and ask them to tell who are they and what relationship is between the father-to-be and mother-to-be. What sweet message the mother-to-be and father-to-be are looking forward to the coming baby. At the end all the guests with the mother-and-father-to-be show a fun compilation.
Hope all these ideas will help you to have a fun and unforgettable baby shower.
