Check out favorite baby shower games - some oldies, some with a new twist, and some that will leave the mother with a keepsake of her baby shower!

Object: See who can most closely guess the size of mom's tummy.
Play: For this game, you will need a couple of rolls of toilet paper. Have each guest estimate how much paper it will take to go all the way around the new mommy's stomach, and tear off that much toilet paper. Then each guest wraps their piece around her pregnant tummy to see who's guess is most accurate. The most accurate measure wins a prize.

Object: See which guest can identify the most baby pictures.
Play: Before the shower, ask each of your guests to bring baby pictures of themselves. Lay them out on the table and number each one. Give each guest a pen and paper, and number as many lines as there are photos. Then have guests guess which person at the shower matches each baby photo by writing their name next to the number that corresponds with each picture. Guest with the most correct answers wins a prize.

Object: Just like the name implies: see who can make it through the shower without saying "baby"!
Play: When each guest enters the room, hand them one diaper pin and tell them that for the length of the shower they can't say the word "baby". During the shower, when someone accidentally says the forbidden word, the person who catches them saying it gets to take their diaper pin away from them. The person with the most diaper pins at the end of the shower wins the game.

Object: Okay, this isn't really a game, but it's fun for the guests, and the mommy-to-be gets to take away a keepsake of her shower.
Play: Get a hospital gown like the one she'll be wearing on the Big Day, and lay it out flat on a table with some fabric markers. Have each guest write a special note to the guest(s) of honor. Whether or not she wears this when the baby is born, the mom has a lasting memory of everyone who attended her baby shower.

Object: To test your guest's baby know-how.
Play: Before the shower, write down some baby trivia - some of the trivia should be purposely incorrect. At the shower, ask certain people if these baby "facts" are true or false. If they guess correctly, they win a prize. If they are incorrect, the guest must perform a silly dare in front of everyone.

Object: To add another element of fun to the giftng.
Play: Tradition dictates that the woman who catches the bride's bouquet at a wedding will be the next to marry. Not so well-known is the fable that the giver of seventh gift unwrapped by the new mommy will be the next to have a baby. Don't tell the mommy, however, so she can't "plant" the seventh gift she unwraps.
