Baby Shower Tips

Consider having disposable cameras available for guests to use to capture memories for the guest of honor. One camera for every five guests is a good rule of thumb.
Surprise baby showers are often more memorable and more exciting for the expecting mother. If at all possible, try to keep the baby shower a secret until the last minute. You can employ the help of her husband to make sure she keeps the set date free.
How long should a baby shower be? A typical shower would be a minum of two hours to give guests time to visit with each other. Showers could go as long as three to four hours, so you may want to consider starting the baby shower early on the appointed day!

Baby Shower Games

Baby Pictures Game: Have each guest bring a baby picture of herself to the baby shower. Number and arrange all the pictures on a large board and let each guest try to match the photos with person. The winner is the person who makes the most correct matches.
Baby Food Games: Buy a variety of baby foods including some strange ones (like strained beets with oatmeal!) and take the lables off the jars. Let each guest have a taste and try to guess what kind of baby food it is. The person who guesses the most correctly is the winner. To make things more challenging, have people guess the brand of the baby food as well!
The Price is Right!: Buy ten or twelve baby items such as baby toys, jars of baby food, diaper wipes, a pacifier, a package of diapers or a box of diaper pins. Write the exact cost of each item on a slip of paper and let each person guess what the items cost. The person who guesses the closest will recieve the slip of paper with the actual cost. The person at the end with the most slips of paper is the winner!
Mother's Circumference: Get a skein of yarn and pass it around to each guest with a pair of scissors. Have each person estimate how much yarn it will take to fit around mother-to-be's tummy at the navel. The expenctant mother then has to try on each piece of yarn and the person who guessed closest wins!
Baby Pins in a Bottle: Fill a baby bottle with diaper pins and have each person try to guess how many are in the bottle. The closest guess wins a prize!
