Fun games for baby showers - party activities for perfect events

Play the right games for baby showers - and watch your event turn into a real celebration! Because party activities are the life of your event, choosing them deserves some attention. The biggest advantage of having games for baby showers is that they get the guests to mingle together and have fun. This is especially important if many of them don't know each other. You don't want your event to be a silent parade! So have some party activities and infuse your shower with energy and appeal.

Here's a list of great games for baby showers to get you started. The best way to use these party activities? Use them as starting points to come up with your own unique twists to each one, or even to think up entirely new ones! Guests - and the guest of honor - love an original angle to the shower. Of course, you can use these games 'as is' and get great results as well.

Let's look at some of these games for baby showers - the party activities to light up your event.

Noise generating balloons: Here's one of the games for baby showers that'll inject some noise into your event! Write down baby names on small pieces of paper. Partially fill each balloon, insert a paper into it, and then blow it up fully. At the baby shower, have the mom-to-be choose a name at random (from the original list). Now the guests have to find out which balloon contains the chosen name. The only way they can do so is to sit on each balloon, explode it and read the slip of paper inside! This has been one of the hit party activities at many showers.

Words of the wise: Another of the exciting games for baby showers. Give everyone a 3 X 5 card. Ask them to write down a new-parent related question. Like, "What will you do if the baby's crying and guests arrive?" Collect the cards with questions written down, shuffle them well. Give them out again - at random. Ask each guest to write down the answer to their original question on the reverse of the card they got. Now take the cards back and read out the question and answer on each card! This party activity's great for laughs!

Guys and bottles: Here's one of those games for baby showers if you're having a co-ed event. Fill equal sized baby bottles with fruit juice, or soft drink, etc. Have a stopwatch ready. Each guy tries to empty the bottle in the least possible time! And the fastest one wins. Have a prize that'll appeal to the guys, for these sorts of party activities.

She said what? Finally, yet another of the fun games for baby showers - but to be played only if the mommy-to-be won't take offense! When she's opening the gifts, have someone discreetly note down everything mommy says. Later, announce that whatever mommy-to-be said during gift opening was also what she said during the night of conception!! Read out her comments - and watch her blush! A perfectly normal remark like "Ooh, how cute!" can take on all kinds of new meanings when seen in this light!
