re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite baby shower game is Playdoh Babes. Guests at my shower were all given playdoh and were told to do their best at shaping an adorable bundle of joy. My sisters-in-law adapted this game from a dirtier version played at my bachlorette party! It was so funny judging everyone's attempts. Everyone was hysterical. It was a lot more fun than writing down what you remembered from a basket shown to you or guessing how big the mommy's tummy is with toilet paper.

My favorite game is when the hostess gets the guests' baby pictures ahead of time and you have to guess who each baby is.  Thanks!

I loved this game at the last shower I attended.   The hostess handed out printed sheets with Baby Word Scrambles on them.  Whoever finished fastest got a little gift

My favorite baby shower game is where they melt chocolate bars in diapers and you have to guess which candy bar is in which diaper.  Everyone is always grossed out because it looks like poop.

My favorite is when the mother-to-be is asked to leave the room and the guests have to write down everything that she is wearing.  The guest who gets the most right wins a little prize.

I have more of an activity for a shower where you decorate different size onsies with puffy paint and the mother gets to take home all the onesies made especially for her and her new addition.

we had a lot of fun with the guess the dirty diaper game. they melted different candy bars into the diaper and you had to taste and guess the candy bar. kinda gross.. but we had a great time with it. ;o)

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

It is one of the most simple, but the game where you can't say "baby".  Every shower I've been too, you're either given a diaper pin or a pacifier favor necklace.  I think it is hilarious because everyone gets into conversations...usually involving the upcoming arrival...and all of a sudden you hear someone yell "You said baby!".  The next thing you know, it is getting hilarious because people are tripping over their tongues as they realize they are about to say "baby"...and people are trying to coax others into saying baby as well to get their pin/pacifiers back.

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite game would have to be the vaseline-cotton ball game.  Each participant smears their nose with vaseline, then is given a large handful (or bowlful) of cotton balls.  When the signal is given, you bury your face into the pile of cotton balls, trying to get them to stick to your nose, then you have to shake or blow them off your nose onto the floor.  At the end of 30 seconds, whoever has moved the most cotton balls from their hands to the floor by way of a sticky nose wins!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite baby shower game is where the host melts different types of candy bars in different diapers and everyone then passes the diaper around and tries to guess what candy bar it was!!  This is also funny considering the Nest Baby newsletter is called "The Poop"...so I thought my comment was appropriate!!  I would love to win this prize for our December arrival!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

i think its pretty funny when you freeze little plastic babies in icecubes, put them in cups and you try to get the ice to melt the fastest(without using your hands) , and when your baby is free of the ice, you scream out "my water broke!" and you're the winner!

Posted by lovelylaura    Thursday, May 08, 2008 4:35 PM

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite baby shower game is timing everyone to see who can put the diaper on a baby doll the fastest while blindfolded. I think it's a good way to prepare for middle of the night diaper changes and it's fun too. :)

Baby shower bingo!  It's easy to organize and play!  Plus you don't feel like a goof ball tasting things or where things, etc!  Most importantly it makes watching mom to be open all the presents interesting for everyone!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

At a shower a few years ago, we had to try to come up with as many words as we could out of the letters in the new little girl's name.  

Afterwards we also shared what words we were able to find!  (I was the only one who figured out you could spell "angel" with her letters!)  

It was fun and challenging at the same time!

My favorite shower game was the sock matching game the hostess of my shower put together.  She and some other friends bought 60 (yes, 60) pairs of baby socks in various sizes and designs, then mixed them up and had guests pair off by picking and matching socks. Then teams of two were each given a basket of baby socks and had to match as many as they could in 60 seconds.  The guests had a blast oohing over the tiny socks and my kiddo has a sock supply that will last until pre-school!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

I love babyshowers especially the games. My favorite game has to be though where everyone is given a balloon and you have to pop it someway and inside there are baby names and the winner has the name of the impeding arrival child.  It gets really funny with the balloon popping and everyone searching for their name card hoping they won. That is my favorite game well at least for now.

My favorite baby shower game is the poopy diaper game.  There are about 10 diapers each with different kinds of melted chocolates or things in the refrigerator in them.  You pass it around, and smell it, and write down what it smells like (i.e. kit kat, snickers, mustard, etc.) . It's hilarious watching people smell the diapers!

My favorite is when you buy thank you cards and have everyone write their address on one envelope. Then you pick a few out of a box/hat and they win a prize. The best part, though, is that the guest of honor doesn't have to spend time writing names and address on the envelopes for the thank you cards!

My favorite baby shower game was the baby diaper toilet paper game.  We had teams  of 2 and each got a roll of toilet paper and had to make the best diaper on the other person in a time frame.  The diapers were so crazy and some were SOOOO good....others were hillarious and covered more of the "model" than clothes.

It was a fun game for everyone and we took pictures of the finished products for the scrap book for the mommy to be!

My favorite baby shower game is the guess the baby poop game where you melt various chocolate bars onto a disposable diaper.  You pass them around and have guests write down which candy bar they think is in each diaper.  It is hilarious to watch people inspect the diaper and sniff the "poop" to see if they can figure it out.  I love the ducky layette.  Soooo cute!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite Baby Shower Game is the game where the person hosting the party makes labels with different words related to Baby, each guest gets a label. Throughout the baby shower insteadof calling the guest by their name they call them by the baby word. If the person forgets they can each take each others labels. =o) This game keeps you on your toes.

My favorite game is taking a water balloon and trying to pin a real diaper on it without popping it. It's so much fun because a little prick will cause a big leak. Lots of giggling at dripping diapers.

I'd have to say it's a toss up between the "guess that babyfood" and the "dirty diaper" game! I really like it when those are included in a shower :) Recently I attended one where they did the drinking out of a baby bottle... the mommy-to-be filled them all the way up (8oz) and it took at least 8 minutes for it to be gone! It was pretty funny :)

As a general rule I hate *all* bridal and baby shower games, but the shower I went to where they had all the non-moms race to see who could change a doll's diaper the fastest did give me a good laugh, especially since one of the two racers was my sister.

The best (and funniest) game we played at my shower was the baby food tasting! Where the mom-to-be gets blindfolded and has to try all the different kinds of pureed baby foods; from beef to bananas! P.s... The chicken tastes like cat food... Not that I would know what cat food tastes like or anything... lol

I really like the baby food tasting game...its so funny watching each blind folded person take their turn at guessing what it is they just put in their mouth.  A lot of my friends have sworn when their time comes they will make their own baby food rather than buy store brands.

I love creative games/activities!  When all the attendents paint a onesie or T at the beginning of the shower, and the mommy-to-be gets to choose faves!  Or the one where all members send a baby pic and people have to try to match the attendent with the baby pic!  Its great seeing all how people started!

My favorite baby shower game is one that I do alot for co-ed baby showers.  I like doing the "Who can suck the fastest?" with the boys in the room.  We put apple juice or some kind of juice in the baby bottles, and see who can suck the fastest in 1 minute.  It's so hilarious to see these boys trying to chug out apple juice from the baby bottle nipple...hehehe =)

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite Baby Shower game is fun for everyone - including the guys.  I gave my sister/brother in law a co-ed shower for their first born and the game - Guess the Baby Food.  We chose 6 different baby foods - some fruits, some veggies and some meals.  A couple of my favorites to use - Mac & Cheese dinner, Carrots and PRUNES!  Every guest gets a small taste of each of the baby foods (labels removed) and they have to write down what they think that food is.  It gets really hard when you use Carrots and Sweet Potatoes.  The person that has the most correct answers gets a gift certificate to eat out at a great restaurant!  Everyone - young/old, male/female - loves this game!

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

It would have to say, the Baby race obstacle course. Basically you get 2 light weight strollers and set up tables with baby dolls, diapers, baby wipes,baby powder, clothes and have a large area with different challenges marked off with orange cones. Have them start by changing the baby dolls dirty diaper, then they have to dress the baby, strap them in the stroller and race around. It gets really funny when they have to go over hard gravle, thick sand, find  hidden keys to unlock thick chains on gate, etc. People get really competitive and begin to cheat or distract the other person racing. Best game by far.

Another great game is, "Don't let your water break!" Basically you tie a stocking around your waist. In it is a small water balloon that the women must make sure doesn't pop. You play the game...Simon says and have them do things like jumping jacks, try and reach something up high, run to the corner, etc. until all the balloons start to pop one after another. Last person to remain with the water balloon in tact, WINS!

My favorite is a Price is Right game that I do!  I typically have the 'contestants' bid on really old school products, like Close-up toothpaste and Aqua Net hairspray...you know, things we don't typically have a price frame of reference for AND the old standard J&J baby products...all of the initial items bid on go to the parents/mom!  The 'Showcase Showdown' is typically a nice gift basket with some smell-goods and bottle of wine that definitely go to the winner!

my favorite baby game involves husbands and wives.  The couple has to hold hands, and use only their free hand to cloth diaper a life size baby doll (pinning too!) Hilarious Hijinks ensue :)  The couple that does it that fastest WINS!!

Posted by mod-bride    Friday, May 09, 2008 8:04 AM

re: Duckie Layette Cake Giveaway!

My favorite game is the one where you have to use the parents' names to come up with possible names for the baby.  For example mom and dad are George and Sarah Johnson.  Everyone has a few minutes to write as many possible first names from the letters in the above names (John, Jon, Sasha, etc.)  Also if the couple has other children their names can be included in the above.
