playing some baby themed shower games. These baby shower games
are fun, entertaining and easy to find. There are a lot of
printable games for baby showers available on the Internet.
Expect some laughter to occur during game time! But before it's
playing time some other activities are taking place.
Baby showers last usually three to four hours and consist of a
few activities. Socializing, eating, playing some party games
and watching the expectant mother open her presents. It's not a
bad idea for the host to plan activities ahead of time so that
the pace of the party remains steady.
As guests arrive, plan some time for socialization. Allow a
good half hour to an hour for this chatter. The guests will all
want a chance to find out how the mommy to be is doing
especially if they have not seen her in a while.
After socialization it's usually time for some food. Food is
always expected at a baby shower. Though it doesn't need to be
elaborate, it's just got to be planned. Schedule another hour
for it. Finger foods are an excellent option and guests can eat
throughout the shower, with a special time, usually towards the
end, devoted to eating the baby shower cake. If men are
invited, you can organise an outdoors barbeque. The guys can
prepare the food while the women sit back and socialize with
each other.
And then ... it's time for some entertainment by playing some
party games! Baby shower games are fun and there's no end to
the game options, either. No need to reinvent the wheel. Save a
lot of time and choose from the hundreds of printable party
games that are available on the Internet. Just to name a few
... there is Finish Mommy's Phrase, Baby Bingo, Baby Trivia,
Name That Nursery Rhyme and so many more to choose from.
Decide a few weeks prior to the shower about the games that
will be played and schedule each game in a one hour time frame.
Don't forget to prepare some fun prices for the winner of each
game.
If playing games is not an option, for whatever reason, you can
spend more time socializing or doing a group activity. Create an
advice book by passing around a blank notebook. On a separate
page, each guest writes down a bit of parenting advice and
signs the page. These tips will definitely be lasting memories
for years to come.
Or let each guest bring a copy of one of their favorite books
when they were a child. Everyone shares what made that book
special before presenting it to the expectant mom. This is an
excellent way to get to know each other and beefing up a new
baby's library.
Some other project ideas that will remind the mommy to be of
this special occasion include making a video documentary,
quilting, scrapbooking or making something like a hand-painted
wall hanging or floor mat that the expectant mother can use in
her home.
After the baby shower games or some fun group activity it's
time for the highlight of the baby shower .... opening the baby
shower gifts. Be sure someone is in charge of assembling the
baby gifts as they're opened and someone is writing down the
list of gifts and the guest who gave each. Don't throw away the
bows, so that when it's all over, the guest of honor can be
crowned with a crazy bow hat! Have fun and enjoy!
