Fun Baby Shower Ideas



Baby showers are lots of fun and can be a great opportunity to exercise your creativity abilities and event planning.
Check out our suggestions for fun baby shower ideas and all the information you need to ensure that your baby shower is a huge success.
When to do the baby shower?
A baby shower can be held at anytime during the pregnancy, even after the baby is born.  Most women prefer to do it towards the end of their pregnancy to ensure the pregnancy is complication free.
Holding the baby shower shortly after the birth can also be a good opportunity to get everyone over to meet the baby at one time, instead of hosting all the guests individually. Make sure that before you lock in the date that your closest friends and family are available.
Where to hold your baby shower?
Traditionally, baby showers are not organised by the mother. Usually a good friend of the mum-to-be or her sister hosts. Speak to friends and family and see who is up for the challenge.
Baby shower themes
Before you decide on what games to play at your baby shower, decide if you want to create a themed party. Keep in mind that doing so will mean more work.
Baby shower themes are endless and can be anything from animals to vintage with literally anything in between. Have a look online for inspiration and to purchase themed plates, cups and napkins.
Baby shower games and activities
Games can be a lot of fun at baby showers and give adults an opportunity to play. Don’t forget the traditional games of pass the parcel or pin the tail on the baby.
If you have a smaller group you may be able to engage in some other activities such as arts and crafts, creating a home movie or even sewing a quilt together!
Blindfolded diaper game: In this game guests are divided into teams and given a blindfold, a diaper and life size doll. Each guest must take off the diaper and put a new one on blindfolded. The one to finish first wins!
Guess the baby food: Prepare 10 different baby food samples out of their jars. Give each guest a spoon and ask him or her to taste the food and guess what it is. The one who guesses the most accurately wins.
Baby price is right: Purchase 10 or so baby items and line them up before the guests. Give each guest a card and a marker and ask them to guess the prices of each item. The guest that guesses the closest price for all the products wins.
