Modern Baby Shower Games

This idea is a great way to see how well your guests know each other and test their guessing skills. You'll need to ask everyone to bring a baby picture of themselves from under the age of three. You probably want to write this on the invitation and send out a group e-mail the day before to remind everyone! Then you'll have the guests guess who's who in the shots. Alternate digital idea: Have guests e-mail you their chosen photos in advance, and create a slideshow of all the images to be shown at the shower. Read More

For this game, call up the grandma-to-be in advance and do your homework about the expecting mom. Ask as many questions as you can think of about what mom-to-be was like as a child. What were her quirks? Likes and dislikes? Favorite places, tv shows, toys, holidays, and vacations? How old was she when she started talking, got her ears pierced, or had her first boyfriend? What did she want to be when she grew up? Then, play a fun, interactive game and ask all of the guests to answer these questions at the shower. Read More

This idea is a way to give the mom-to-be a lasting memory from the shower. All of the guests write up their best piece of advice for the new mom.

Then, on the day of the shower, guests will write down their advice on a piece of colored stationery and read suggestions aloud to the mom-to-be. Afterward, glue the cards into a scrapbook together with photos from the event. Read More
