I hope Im asking this question in the right category...My apologies if not.My sister-in-law's baby shower is this Saturday and I am the so called"spokes-person", you know handing her all the gifts, reading the cards, making the hat, and I have no idea what lil baby shower games to play...Any suggestions would be appreciatedp.s. it's not ur reg baby shower, all the guys are going to be there, and liquor, and a d.j.Baby Shower= a party for the mother-to-be, friends and family get together, and bring gifts for the unborn baby...It's a very nice time, and helps the mother-to-be out tremendously w/ buying thins for her baby

Sorry, but other than a bath attachment, what on earth is a baby shower?

A fun game for guys to play at these is give them all a baby bottle and see who finishes it first. If you are going to have liquor maybe you can put beer in each one! That would be fun. Also taste babfood... put babyfood in diapers and guess the food..

get some nappies and melt different types of chocolate in them (it will look like poo which is funny) then pass them around and the guests have to guess what type of chocolate it is ( by smelling, tasting). Person who guesses most correctly wins a prize.

Since it's a co-ed baby shower and it sounds like a lot of people, have games that people can participate in if they want to, not that they have to. You can set-up a game table with 3 games on it that people can sign-in and play. One game would to count how many M&Ms or jelly beans in the jar. One game could just be a drawing where the guest can put in a few bucks for diapers for the mom-to-be and get a chance to win a cool gift. Another game can be to guess on round the mommy is using string. The guest can pick out their string length and cut it themselves and attach their name to it with a sticker. Then at some point at the party, you go through and determine the winners and hand out the prizes. Good luck!

Well, it may be too late for this, but you may be able to call people. My sister did this awesome thing for me, it was sort of a diaper raffle. You tell people there will be a gift basket and to bring either diapers or wipes for a ticket. The more diapers they bring, the more tickets they get. They filled a basket with gardening supplies, it was gorgeous. I have a six month old and I am still using the diapers and wipes I got from my shower. It's awesome. If you can pull it off, totally do it. Good Luck. That sounds like a fun baby shower!

Since there are guys and liquor included.. it sounds more like a party instead of a baby shower.. I don't think you should bother with games.. it would be too difficult to get everyone organized for games with that many people.. especially with a DJ?? Is it at night also? Maybe you can do drinking games for the guys instead.. hehe joking. You can always do some simple games, like a free raffle with a ticket.. whoever wins gets a prize, or you can do a sticker under a plate.. whoever eats off that plate, wins a prize. As far as the gifts go, you probably will be either doing one or the other, handing the gifts OR writing down the gift list.. you can't really do both and you will need to designate someone else to do one of those tasks. I have never heard of doing a "hat" so I can't give you an answer for that. Best Wishes!

This was the funniest game at my shower! Everyone gets one clothes pin to begin with.to keep the clothes pin you CANNOT say the word baby,if you do, you lose your pin to who ever caught you.The one with the most pins wins an awesome prize.You would be surpised how many people say the word baby at a shower,I lost mine in like 5 seconds.
