The best baby shower games that will never go out of style
Your friend or family member is having a baby. Hurrah! However … you’ve been nominated to host the baby shower … For some people, this may not be such a hooray. Planning and organizing a shower can be a lot of work, and the amount of time and energy it takes to get it done can be overwhelming.
Relax, I’ve got you covered. Listed below are some of the best games or activities to do in celebration of the baby.
Icebreaker
Let’s be honest. The woman goes to the showers because that’s what we DO. It’s not because we LIKE going to them. It is part of our “duty” in life. Nobody likes a boring shower, but worse than that, if your guests don’t know each other, it can tend to add a lot more pressure on the hostess (and guests will quickly find excuses to leave). Icebreaker games help guests open up and start having fun right away, even if they don’t know everyone present. These are great games to play at any baby shower, because (you guessed it!) They break the ice with the guests.
The dirty diaper game
Of course, Dirty Diaper Game is going to be on the list of the best shower games! This is a classic and will ALWAYS be part of the shower fun. Some things you just can’t fight.
What’s in your bag?
This game is a lot of fun to play, because let’s face it … women tend to carry the world in our purses. A shower without this set doesn’t seem right!
Bingo
Yes. Baby Shower Bingo makes the list of the best and most popular games to include. Of course you do … Did you really think that Bingo would ever go out of style? You can print the “cards” and have everything ready for when your guests arrive.
The rice game
The rice game is so much fun to play, because all your guests will think they have it in the bag. It really seems like such an easy concept – you move through a bowl of rice and find the safety pins – how difficult can it REALLY be, right? Uh … yeah, sure.
The best baby shower games are the ones that make your guests laugh and have fun. If you do, you can be sure that you will be a successful host, and your guests will be happy that they came, and your future mom will be happy, which is the whole point of having you anyway!
