Plus this will give the Mom-to-Be a lasting memory of her baby shower being fun and relaxing. Read More About Baby Shower Party Games, Prizes and Gifts.

There are numerous games that can be played that suit both traditional baby showers as well as co-ed or couples baby showers. On the personalized baby shower invitations, it is fun to get the interest of guests by indicating a door prize will be given to the first person who RSVP’s to the hostess.

Games are also a great way to makes things a bit more relaxed for everyone. Plus, most people will rise to the challenge and try to win the prize for the shower games. A fun game that can last throughout the shower is the diaper pin baby game. Everyone will start out with one clothespin - a clothespin is usually better to use not only for clothing sakes, but also for not sticking people. Whenever someone says the word “baby” another person can take their clothespin. Whoever ends up with the most clothespins wins a prize. You can set a time limit or just whenever it appears that the baby shower is starting to wrap up.

Another fun game, but is more solitary, is loading a wrapped basket full of baby items. Then allow each guest a certain amount of time to peer inside the basket, such as 15 seconds, and then guess how many items they can remember seeing in the basket. Another way to play this game is to camouflage the basket so no one can see inside and ask the guests to guess what could possibly be inside of the basket. Whoever guesses the most items wins.

There are numerous baby shower games that can be played that will get the guests interacting and lighten the mood of the shower party. Plus everyone enjoys receiving a prize. Suggested baby shower prizes for the games include candles, lotion or something such as that.

Regardless of the shower games, they can reflect the theme of the baby shower. Once the games have been decided, then gathering the needed items will need to be done.
