Baby shower

Seems I am a bit late to this discussion since it was three weeks ago and the baby shower has been possibly already been held? So how did it go it if has been held? At our baby showers we have Baby Bingo,baby word scramble(where we scrambled alot of words that had to do with the baby like cravings=granvics or something similar we gave them 20-25 words and they only had like 5-10 minutes to unscramble them who had the most unscrambled won) we took a roll(you can use leftover from decorating)of streamer and made eveyone tear a piece as big or as small as they wanted without telling them what for then who ever was the closest in it reaching around the mommy to be and having the exact fit won. Now if your adventureous or have younger children or teens you can do the baby bottle ring toss who ever gets the most rings over the bottles with the least tries wins, or take used but sterilized baby bottles and add either water,punch,or pop and see who can suck the liquid out of the bottle the fastest wins(this was a big hit with the kids and teens and a few adventureous adults) it was a hoot watching as well since we were all rooting for the one we wanted to win. we also played a water game with balloons called don't break my water. it was also fun to do we had the bigger balloons bot water balloons they tended to break to easy but the maybe 6"-9" inch balloons and filled them with water and you had to carry it between your knees and go up 10-12 foot and back without it slipping and breaking..we also had the one we took toilet paper and you were allowed to tear off as much as you wanted or the least you wanted but then you had to name a baby product for however many toilet paper squares you had and you can't repeat what anyone else said.(which makes it a little harder)The one with the most wins. Maybe you can use some of them next time if you so wish to. We were getting ready to have my niece one in a 2 months since she was 5 months pregnant but she recently miscarried on the 5th of this month.

One game I am planning on playing at my sister's shower in June, is the "You can't say baby" game. Where you get clothespins and each person has 3 clothespins, and if they say "baby" then the person they were talking to gets to take one of their clothespins. Whoever has the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins. I am still trying to figure out prizes right now because ours is a co-ed party as well.

I just went to a baby shower a few weeks ago. They had a "my water broke" where they put those little tiny plastic babies in a cup with ice and when the ice totally melts you have to shout, "my water broke". There were also worksheets where you had to guess a nursery rhyme. Like "elder woman with lots of children" was "The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe". Prizes were the live plant centerpieces, I think.
