Hi girls! My baby shower is in 2 weeks and I have no idea what games to do. So far I have : measuring my belly... but, that's it. The place my mother in law reserved is for 4 hours. I don't want people to be bored. (Tbh, I'm really not looking forward to this.) I'm super duper pregnant and can barely walk or be standing. Having to entertain people is really giving me anxiety. 😑

The baby game, everyone gets a mini cloths pin and if you hear someone say “baby” you can take the pin if someone doesn’t before you. The person with the most by gift opening or the end wins a prize. That’s always a fun one.
Love the belly measuring! Gets a good laugh out of everyone.
A good ice breaker game is find a baby story and in it it says right or left, each table is give a gift. They pass it to the right when the story says the word right and same with left. Whoever it ends on by the end of the story gets to open it and wins. It’s fun!
Make a list of baby items; pack of wipes, diapers, jar of food, desitin, soap, pacifier, etc and see who gets the closest to each or do a grand total.
Find a list about YOU! Cravings during pregnancy, who knew you were pregnant first, they have tons of different list.
Do a calendar or baby board to put guesses down for babies due date and how much they think baby will weigh when they arrive and time of arrival. I found it fun to look back

Feel free to message me for more. I got maxed out on my message 🤣🤣🤣 I do think fun games make the shower though! Too much mingling and people tend to just get bored from my experience!
Oh and a baby word scrabble

Also do you have a friend or a relative that could help take charge of games and kind of be the entertainer for you?

they get bottomless mimosas... so honestly, to me that would be entertainment enough 🤣

thank you!!!!

and I told my husband that I was NOT going to be the one entertaining. I can barely move! Lol! He says they'd take care of it, but was clueless of the games

that’s an option! Have your husband do it! That is if you want him there 🤷🏻♀️ obviously you’ll probably have to go over them with him first or have him look them over and see if he has questions as to how they work.

I included limbo for fun... Can have fake bellies with balloon and limbo with some fun music

I ordered pin the pacifier from Amazon. It’s $10 and it was so much fun with laughs!

Also there was a very cute set of games from Amazon for $25 for 5 games like measure the belly etc. very pretty n self explanatory. Try that too. But you will have to buy give away gifts for games so don’t forget that and decide number of games based on that. I was so tired so I bought gifts n everything online you can do that too and you will feel much better. I was very tired and anxious too but doing stuff online was easy and made me feel better once everything was ordered

Need paper , pencil , timer
Label the paper a-z and in 1 to 2 min have guest write down as many baby products that begin with the letter. Once times up they have their names on paper n pass them down to host. The one w most wins. No brands

Paper plate . Cotton balls ,spoon . Bowl. Eye cover. Timer
Cover eyes , place plate on top of head , bowl filled w cotton balls on lap , have to spoon cotton balls quickly to the plate, see who gets the most in 1 min,
Diapers, mixed chocolate bars
You melt the chocolate and smear on diaper guest have to guess what kind of chocolate is it. It’s funny because it’s gross. Like a Mr goodbar melted, so you imagine it’s poop . It’s funny to see people smell and taste.

Plastic cups, balloons, ping-pong balls.
This is a race- the winners of my games got a small prize.
*Blow balloons and stuff them in shirts
* Lay out cups at the end of your race
*players stuff the ping-pong ball between thighs and waddle to the cups and try to make it in, they have to start over if they drop the balls outside of the cups.
Lots of paired baby socks
*hide socks around the party and whoever finds the most socks wins the prize

This was soooo funny we all laughed so hard reading them back lol
