Baby Shower Onesies

Materials - Plain white onesies/different sizes. decorative permanent paints that are safe/non-toxic, cardboard
Place small cardboard in each onesie as support and pass out the plain white onesies of different sizes to guests and have them write their names on the bottoms to dry shortly after guests arrive. During the baby shower, pass out the respective onesies back to the baby shower guests and have them decorate the front/backs of the onesies. The mother-to-be keeps the onesies and they serve as good memorabilia of the shower and a useful gift for the baby. Thanks Val

Guess The "Celebrity" Baby

Materials: Celebrity Magazines, Baby Magazines, Poster Board, Glue
Prior to the baby shower, go through magazines cutting out 15 different pictures of babies. Go through varies different magazines and cut out baby heads and celebrity bodies. Paste the baby heads onto the celebrity bodies. Try to use a variety of celebrities from different era's too as to accommodate the different ages of your
guests. You can either use a giant poster board and paste the pictures onto
it or you can paste the pictures to cardstock and laminate each one. Don't
forget to number each one and write down the celebrity. Have each guest try
to guess the name of the celebrity. The one who guesses the most correctly
wins. Thanks to Trisha for this idea.

Diaper Bag Game

Materials: Diaper Bag, necessary items for a new born or their parents, pads of paper and pens
Take a diaper bag and fill it with everything that the mother to be will need to take with her every time she goes out with baby. Give each guest a paper and pen and have them write down as many things they think are in the diaper bag in a certain amount of time. Time limit should depend on how many items there are to guess. When times up start taking the items out of the diaper bag and see who guessed the most. At the end the Mother to-be gets to keep the diaper bag and all the items. A favorite item of mine to add to the diaper bag is a disposable camera for those once in a lifetime shots (most guests miss that one). Thanks to Carolyn for this great baby shower game idea!

Baby Sock Game
Materials: 14 pairs of baby socks that can be given to the mommy to be after the game, timer.
Take the 14 pairs of new baby socks of different styles and colors and mix them up. Next, start and timer and tossed them in the middle of the floor, each guest has 1 minute to try and "match" as many socks as they can. A very fun baby shower game.
