Baby Name Calling

Materials: Name Tags, Pens
Prepare name tags with various words of things that the mother-to-be will use during motherhood (e.g., Diaper, Pacifier, Onesie). Give guests a *name* tag when they arrive which is how they will have to be called during the Baby Shower Party. A really fun way to name call during the baby shower :) Cheers to Sally from Barking, Essex for this wonderful baby shower game!

Diaper Party Dad
Materials: None other than an invite to all the father-to-be's friends
hile the mommy-to-be has a baby shower, the dad-to-be hosts a diaper party. At the party, all of his friends come to typically drink beer and play poker, but the admission to the party is a pack of diapers. Its always a nice social time for the future father, releases the other men from buying gifts (which can be a challenge for them), and makes sure the couple are stocked up on diapers.

Baby Shower Raffle

Materials: baby shower gift and paper and pen or ticket to give everyone a number
Let everyone know on the baby shower invite to bring diapers or a onesie to be entered in a raffle. This is a great way to have a baby shower game and at the same time give tons of onesies and diapers to the new parents to be who will need them! Have the raffle at the end of the party to build suspense or give out a few small baby shower gifts to a few winners!

Baby Shower Match
Materials: Candy, Index Cards, Pens for scoring, a amateur artist to draw pictures or concepts, Paper
A really fun baby shower game is the Match Game. Make up two boards with squares. On one board number the squares, on the other one use letters. Each board would have a matching idea under the square (a similar game to picture match or memory game). Under the numbers and letters are things pertaining to baby and birth that you can come up with (Birth, Labor Pains, Breast Feeding, Precious Baby, Preemie). For instance, under #5 and under letter A are the words "Labor pains". Each person calls out one letter and one number. The person who calls A 5 would make a match if both A and 5 have a matching idea/picture! The best part is the prizes. The match for "Labor pains" is a packet of Whoppers. The prize for "Breast feeding" would be Milk Duds or Milky Way, "Preemie" would be Runts. It takes a few for the guest to recognize the connection but they always get a big kick out of it.
