Sentimental Baby Shower Games

When you want to take a break from the silly games, get all the guests involved in one of these sentimental favorites.

Object: To provide mom and baby with a gift that keeps on giving for years to come.
Play: Before the shower insert blank greeting cards into unsealed envelopes. Number each envelope according to the number of guests at the shower. Provide guests with the envelopes, colored pencils, stickers and other crafty supplies so that they can make a birthday card for each year of baby's life.

Object: Get guests to participate in making a keepsake for the baby.
Play: For when the baby grows up, have each guest bring a timely momento from the present day (a cd single of a popular song, a newspaper, etc.), and put all of the items in a decorated box that says "To the Baby". Then when the baby gets to be 18, she canit and see what was current when she was born.

Object: Create a keepsake for mom and baby
Play: This makes for a fun activity long as someone knows how to sew. Cut out squares of fabric that would be easy to decorate (cotton or muslin in solid colors), one for each guest. Have decorative items on hand, like ribbons, puffy paint, buttons, etc. Give each guest their piece of the quilt, have them decorate it for the baby, then have them sign their name to their piece. After the shower, have someone sew together the top of a very memorable baby quilt!
