Nursery rhymes are a classic go-to for baby shower themes, and expecting parents are all about this one lately. Moons and stars with white, gold and even touches of blue make for a serene, sophisticated look. This might be our favorite baby shower trend right now because there are so many ways to do it!
Succulents have been a general trend for a while now, and we love how they look as a baby shower theme. Their natural greens, light blues and dusty purples make this theme effortlessly gender neutral and visually soothing. Tiny, live succulents in funky little containers can really bring a room together.
When your guests arrive, attach a name tag to the back of each guest, without letting the guest see the name. Before the party, put a baby item into each bag, and number the bags. At the party, hand out the sheets of paper and pens to the guests, then start passing the bags out one by one. The guest must take a guess what they think is in each bag without opening it, and write it down; however, shaking and feeling the bag is allowed. After the guesses have been scribbled on the paper, ask the mom-to-be to do the great reveal; the guest with the most correct guesses is the winner.
Arrange the pictures of the mom-to-be on a board or a table, and place a number next to each picture. Ask the guests to write the numbers in the order of age, and see who gets the most correct. Ask each guest to decorate an outfit for the new baby. If you like, have the mom-to-be relax in another room during the decorating time.
When everyone is finished, spread the finished products out on a table and ask the mom-to-be to guess which guest decorated each one. A baby blanket makes a great keepsake, so why not get friends and family involved in making one? Give each guest a square of fabric to decorate for the new baby. You can decorate the squares at the party, or send guests their square in advance, and ask them to bring their decorated square to the shower. If you decide to do the decorating beforehand, then at the party, you can ask the group to arrange the squares you'll need to have some extra squares, perhaps in a patterned fabric or contrasting plain color and make a quilt pattern.
After the party, you can assemble the quilt yourself you'll need extra fabric, of course, for the quilt backing, and also batting — the "stuffing" for the quilt or send it to an expert quilter to put together.
Remember this memento is intended for decoration only, and shouldn't be placed in the crib. Give each guest a diaper and a marker pen, and have her write a funny quote, joke, words of encouragement, or anything creative on the back of the diaper.
Then, give the box of personalized diapers to the parents-to-be for inspiration during a late-night diaper change! Put the supplies out on the table, and have some old newspaper handy to put under the paintings to make cleaning up easier.
Encourage imaginations to run wild — they can produce drawings, inspirational quotes, or anything that they think would be great for the nursery. Choose between 10 and 20 common words associated with babies — stroller, cradle, spit-up, etc.
Then, make a list of these words with their letters all mixed up — teslorlr, edclra, utspip. Hand out copies of the scrambled word list to all the guests. Ask them to unscramble the letters and write down the real words as quickly as they can. Set a timer for 5 minutes, and see who can unscramble the most words during that time. Write down the names of the expecting parents first and last names on a sheet of paper and distribute to each guest. Then, set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes.
Ask guests to see how many names for the new baby they can make using only the letters in the parents' names. Give each guest a block or more and ask her to decorate it with different letters of the alphabet. Just make sure everyone does something different until you have a range from A to Z.
This not only lets your guests get creative, but it makes a cute keepsake for the mom-to-be and her little one. Before the baby shower, prepare a list of questions about the mom-to-be, with her help, of course. Examples of questions:. At the baby shower, read the questions out loud or ask the mom-to-be to read them , and have the guests call out the answers.
Designate one person to be in charge of noting who guesses correctly. Think of at least 10 famous parents from American history, pop culture, or a category of your choice. Then do some research, and write down the name of the eldest child of each parent this is your answer key. Distribute a list of the parents' names to your guests. Ask everyone to write down the name of the eldest child next to the parent's name. See who can correctly name the greatest number of children.
Type out snippets from well-known nursery rhymes, but leave the end off, or leave parts of it blank, and print enough copies for your baby shower guests. When your guests arrive, distribute the worksheets and ask them to fill in the blanks of the missing nursery rhymes. Give them five minutes to complete the sheet; whoever gets the most right wins the game.
There is no prep work needed for this simple game; just press play once everyone is ready. Have the guests shout out the name of the song, and make a note of who gets it right the fastest. The person who guesses the most correct answers wins the game. Test your guests on the cartoons they used to love as kids.
Make copies for your guests, and hand them out at the party. Ask guests to fill in the name of the cartoon babies on the right-hand side. Before the shower, gather a selection of small baby items. Then take some disposable diapers and tape them securely around each item so the item can't be seen, and write a number on each diaper. Keep a master list of the numbers and what's in each the diaper bundle.
At the shower, line up the diaper bundles, and have guests try to guess what's inside each one by feeling it.
Pick several men to put balloons in their shirts. The balloon cannot slip out, pop, or shift to the side as they attempt to tie their shoes. The first person to complete the task gets a prize. Materials Needed: baby pajamas, plastic baby figurines, buckets. Have guests split up into groups of three. Give each team a container of plastic baby figurines, one pair of baby pajamas, and a bucket.
Place the buckets several feet away from each team. The goal is for each team to slingshot as many babies into their bucket as possible within the time limit. First, have all party guests pick a teammate. Each team needs one chopstick and five or more pacifiers. The number of pacifiers is up to you, so long as each team has the same number.
Arrange everyone in a line, with partners standing across from each other. Once given the go-ahead, one member of each team will toss the pacifier, and the other member will attempt to catch them on their chopstick. Pacifiers that are dropped can be returned to the tossing player to try again. You get to decide how the game ends. Either set a timer or have them play until the first team catches all the pacifiers.
Baby Shower Game Printable. Invite guests to decorate an egg so that it looks like a baby. Then, give each guest a plastic spoon, which can be held between the teeth or by hand. They will then have to race with the egg balanced on the spoon. The race can be a simple point-to-point setup or include an obstacle course or relay. Have the guests form multiple groups with at least five people per team. Every team needs the same number of people or someone can change the diaper more than once.
Each team should have one baby doll wearing a diaper wrapped in a blanket. The baby is then handed to the next person in line who will repeat the steps. A team wins when everyone has changed the diaper.
Give each player a blindfold and an equal number of blocks. Each player objective is to build a tower as high as they can while blindfolded in the allotted time. See who can stack the tallest diaper tower. Guests can take turns stacking a tower of diapers. The tower must stand on its own. Count the number of diapers as it is stacked.
As soon as the tower falls, the next person is up and tries to beat the diaper record. You can also check out:. This game is a lot of fun for the audience and especially the new parents.

Spin each player a few times and then let them make their best guess as to where the baby should be pinned. The closest guess wins. Each contestant is given a baby bottle full of liquid. As the baby shower hostess, you can decide if everyone gets the same drink or if they will be allowed to choose their beverage, which, depending on their choice, could give certain competitors a leg up.
The object of the game is to empty the bottle before the other chuggers. Place all the pacifiers loose on the table, choose 2 players and give them each a choptick to hold in their mouth. The contestants then race to thread the most chopsticks as they can on their chopstick in one minute.
