Game festivities are guaranteed to liven up and thrill the guests invited along to your baby shower party. Baby’s day should be fun filled action packed and full of laughter and a sure way for this to happen is when Baby Shower Games are in play.
You don't have to be at a loose end when it comes to providing entertainment for the guest invites attending the baby shower party. One of the best options for additional fun is to play games.
Have your friends and family join in The Name Game
The start of this game is where you ask the players to write down two names for the baby, and then ask them to find as many words as they can from their chosen names. The winner will be the player with the most names. Be sure to mention before play that words with less than three letters are not valid.
To make the name game even more exciting ask the guests to keep the names they chose a secret from the other entrants. The reason for this is because they will be given the opportunity to guess from the words made up what names were chosen at the beginning of the name game.
Feeding Time is another particular favourite; this is game where cotton balls are placed into a basin with another empty basin at the side. Blind fold the players for this game who will then be prompted to transfer the cotton balls from one basin to the other with the aid of a spoon. Put a time limit on this game because this game is not as easy as it looks. The winner is the one with the most cotton balls moved.
Another unusual named game is the Rice Bowl but very popular at baby shower occasions. Take a bowl and fill it half-way with plain uncooked rice. Into the rice throw in safety pins (be careful with safety pins). Blind folded once again the guests task is to take turns in retrieving the pins.
Guess the Guest is a real fun game where guests are asked to bring a picture along of when they were a baby, On entrance to the baby shower celebration these photos will be handed to whoever is in charge of the entertainment scene. Participants in this game join in the fun by identifying the picture and putting the right face to the right person.
Baby Shower Games highlight the whole of the occasion adding fun and laughter. Most games entail being blind folded. A word of warning - too many of these baby shower games then you don't get to see as much of the baby shower as you would like!

7 things to consider when planning a baby shower
Baby showers have their origin in ancient time. Like other things, the way and manner in which they are planned and celebrated have changed over time. Here are some things that you should bear in mind when planning a baby shower today.
1. Know the culture of the would be parents.
Because baby showers are steeped in tradition and customs, it is important to have a good idea of what is culturally acceptable by the would be parents and what is not. People do not necessarily throw away their culture because they live in modern times. Knowing the cultural limitations makes the celebration more memorable and worthwhile.
2. Know the needs of the parents to be
It is pointless giving gifts that recipients cannot use. Would be parents need things for the new baby and are probably stretched to their limits. It would be only worth their while if the gifts they get help to alleviate this burden. Where the gender of the baby is known in advance, give gifts that are gender appropriate.
3. Know the best time to schedule your shower
As the hostess, it behoves you to know when to schedule the baby shower for maximum benefit and impact. Do not schedule your shower too early or too late. Expecting couples need all the financial help they can get. Scheduling a shower too late may mean that the couple had already bought all the things they need for the baby.
4. Know the physical needs of the expecting mother
Pregnancy puts enormous physical challenges and demand on the expecting mother, especially if it is their first pregnancy. It is a good idea to locate the shower closer to home to avoid putting additional strain on an already over challenged mother to be.
5. Know who is on your guest list
The success and failure of a baby shower to a certain extent depends on the attendance. How responsive is your list. Did you consult the couple when compiling your guest list? Remember this is their baby shower not yours. You are only a vessel in the actualization of this event.
6. Know your refreshment plan
Preparing for and feeding even the smallest group of people can quickly turn into a nightmare if no adequate plans are made for that. Set up a plan about what to serve and how to serve it and work your plan. Make room for emergencies that may arise.
7. Know your plan for entertainment
What is your plan for entertainment? Do you have games that your guests can play? Board games and puzzles make for easy and entertaining games that your guests can play. You might want to organize some kind of poetry reading, depending on the mix of your guests. You can have guests come with their own poems written for the occasion to share with others.
