A cute party flavor for baby shower is take a napkin or
paper towel (Scot's Work best) fold in half to make the shape of a diaper with
tiny pin in front. Dip into melted wax and shape it to form. Use it to put mints
or peanuts in for the tables. Add a piece of liner in each one so that mints and
peanuts won't fall through the holes. It is a cute decoration and you can get
towels in pink and blue. (Idea from
lds.about.com)
I had a fireplace and hung up twine from one end to the
other and hung baby clothes on the line with clothespins.
Baby Food Game - Buy 10 – 15 different flavors of
baby food and remember, the more flavors the less chance you’ll have a tie game.
Make a master list with numbers and record the flavors you have and then with a
permanent marker write on the lid of each jar the corresponding number. Remove
all the labels to the baby food jars. Hand out a pencil and paper to each player
and have the players write down the numbers of jars they’ll have to see. Pass
the baby food jars and they are to record what they think is in the jar but
quietly without clueing their neighbor (no sampling allowed). If working with a
large group, start several jars in differently locations with the playing group
and have them all pass the jars in the same direction. The player that guesses
the most correct jars of baby food is the winner. When the game is over, give
all the baby food jars to an expectant mother along with the master list of
what’s in the jars.
Baby Scramble
Baby Shower Games from Latter-Day Village
Candy
Concentration
Delivery - Once all the guests have arrived, give
each person an ice cube with a small plastic baby inside. The goal is to deliver
your baby (by melting it out of the ice) first. The person to do it in the
shortest amount of time wins. Anything goes!
Guess the Chocolate in the Diaper Game - Pass around disposable diapers that have had candy bars
melted in the microwave. Have guests determine what each "poop" is.
Label the diapers and hand the guests a sheet of paper to write down the numbers
and which candy bar is in it. It is really funny to see people smell, and sometimes even
taste the candy bars.
Help Name the Baby - Take the first and last name
of mom and dad to be and put it down the side of a piece of paper. Have the
guest write down names that begin with each letter. Then have the guest read out
loud the name they choose. If anyone else has that name written down the name is
crossed off. The winner is the person with the most names left.
Nursery Rhyme Rhetoric
Pass the Pacifier - Divide players into two teams
and line them up. Give all the players a pencil or chopstick to put in their
mouths. Give the first players in line a pacifier, by slipping it onto the
pencil. On the word "Go!" teams must race to pass the pacifier from person to
person. The team that passes it to the last player first, wins!
Story Land
The Price is Right - Have various baby items on
display. Provide a list of prices (possibly list more prices than items
displayed). Guests must match the prices to the items.
What's Missing? - Place an assortment of baby items on a tray. Give the
guests 30 seconds to look at the tray. No cover the tray and ask each person to
recall what they can remember. The person who writes down the most things (that
were actually on the tray) is the winner. Items: baby pin, rattle, bottle, binky,
q-tip, cotton ball, ointment, teething ring, baby powder, shampoo, diaper, burp
rag, blanket, hair bow, socks, cap, nasal syringe, thermometer, night light, toe
nail clippers, brush and comb, bottle brush.
What's That Smell? - Get six disposable diapers or
how ever many diapers you would like to use. Each diaper should contain
different smells which can be various things. In diaper 1 = orange juice,
diaper 2 = hot sauce diaper, 3 = mustard diaper, 4 = Vick's vapor rub, diaper 5
= cinnamon, diaper 6 = relish. Give each guest a pen and paper to put responses
on. Have each guest smell each diaper and guess what each is whoever gets the
most answers correct wins.
An idea for baby shower invitation - put invitation around
baby food jar.
Advice Book - Pass around a book and ask the guests
to add a bit of wisdom to help the new parents. You can also write the baby
shower gifts in this keepsake book as well.
Birthday Candle Wishes - Ask each guest to write
out a wish for the baby. After the party, write out the wishes onto small pieces
of paper and wrap each one around a candle. Place the candles in a pretty bag
and present it to the mom-to-be. The meaning behind this activity is that one
candle be used on the child's birthday cake each year. So, if you have twenty
guests to the party, the baby can have one wish each year on his/her birthday
cake up to the age of twenty!

Etiquette
For a favor to
give to the guests, I thought this was cute. Give them a bath-related item, like
glycerin soap, a shower puff, or some shower gel. Put it in a little cellophane
bag, and tie with a ribbon. On the tag, put "We've showered (Lisa) in pink and
blue, now this "shower" gift is just for you!" You could put them in a little
basket and invite the guests to take one as they leave. (Credit Unknown)
Gift
Idea: When you have a new baby in the house, it is
soooo
hard to think about anything else, including feeding yourself and the rest of
your family. One great preparation for the arrival of a new baby is a
well-stocked freezer with plenty of meals prepared in advance!

How to make a cake out of diapers
I bought the mommy a corsage for the wrist and grandma got
a shoulder corsage. They were seated in a prominent area of the room so they
could speak with everyone.
I just went to a baby shower where the party
favor was a baby bottle filled with a dry cookie mix all layered
(like the cookie in the jar recipes). The out side and the rest of
the recipe instructions on it. For the refreshments there was a
chocolate fountain with different fruits and items to dip. Fresh
fruit is always great and/or cheese and crackers. (Melissa Coon)
Memory Blanket - Hand everyone at the shower a
piece of paper and have an out line of a 8x8 square in the middle of the page.
Have everyone draw a nice picture of something having to do with baby's first
year (pictures only- no letters, numbers or words) collect the drawings as
everyone finishes or leaves and the host can iron the drawings on different
colored fabric or old used baby blanket and have them sewn together like a baby
quilt. Present this gift to mommy-to-be as baby arrives or at baby's first
birthday.
