Before hand you will need to acquire some of that sticky putty that teachers use to hang stuff on the wall, the kind that remove the paint from the walls. Any way you don’t need a ton of it and it can be picked up at your local craft store. Also make numbers on small squares (you can use a piece of paper and cut the numbers out later) one for each guest.

When you send out your invitations ask each guest to bring a photo of themselves as a baby to the shower, also remember a day or two before the shower to remind each guest to bring that picture with them, because without it they can’t be as involved in the game. Now as each guest arrives take the picture from them. Using the sticky putty (you only need a really small piece) and the small numbers you made ahead of time stick a number to the back of each photo also make a list so you know what number goes with which guest.

To play the game itself give each guest a piece of paper and pencil, show all the guests a photograph and tell them the number then tell them to write down whose photograph they think it is.

Then do the same with the next photograph.
If there are a lot of baby shower guests it may be necessary to pass the photographs around as they may not be able to see the photograph clearly.
The guest who identifies the most photographs is the winner.

Enjoy and Have a Good’n!

The object of the game is not to say ‘baby’.

When each guest arrives give each one a clothes pin (or possibly a diaper pin) and ask them to pin the pin to their clothing either on their shirt or hem of their skirt.

If a guest hears another guest say the word baby then they can claim their clothes pin.
The guest who collects the most clothes pins is the winner.
It may be best to set a time limit for this game so that people can relax after the games is over, something like half an hour would be good.

This game is a very good way to break the ice at a baby shower where guests do not know each other very well to chat.

At the shower you have to collect every bodies guess, now I have seen this done more than one way but the easiest is to prepare a sign in sheet so as your guest arrive they can sign the list and write their guess beside there name, if this is a large party then this also gets you a nice list of who showed up.

Alternate method (Works good at small showers): Ask each of your baby shower guests to take a guess at how many pieces of candy there are in the baby’s bottle and write down their answer on a piece of paper.

The guest whose guess is the nearest to the total of the correct answer wins.

Enjoy and Have a Good’n!
