What Are Some Fun Baby Shower Games?

Having a baby is an exciting, thrilling, overwhelming, happy, and even a little scary time (yes I know, there are about a hundred other adjectives that can be used to describe having a baby). Baby showers are a great way to help prepare a mother and family with all of the accouterments for the little one. It is a time to celebrate the mother as well as the new life that she is bringing into the world- which is all too often lost.

If you want to play ‘guess the melted candy bar in the diaper’ game that is great but there are some other activities that are less known that celebrate the mother as well as the baby. One of which is making a beaded bracelet. When the invitations go out the hostess requests that each of the guests bring two beads and a scripture quote or some words of wisdom to share with the mother to be.

When all of the guests have arrived each takes a turn sharing her quote with the mother to be- the guest keeps one bead and gives the other to the mom to be. Then the hostess winds string around each guest’s wrist and the mother-to-be’s wrist; to remind everyone that we are all as one. We are all women we need to support each other through the journey into motherhood. Each guest is then given a length of string and several extra beads to make a bracelet or necklace with including the extra bead of the pair that she shared. The mother-to-be makes a bracelet or necklace incorporating all of the beads she has been given as well. Each guest and the mother wear their new accessories until the arrival of the baby. As a reminder to the guests to think of and pray for the expectant mother and as a reminder to the mother that so many women are thinking of her and praying for her- that she is not in this alone.

A more common game or activity is making onseies for the expected baby. This one is a lot simpler. Each guest is given a plain white onsie and fabric paint. She is then free to design a onsie for the new addition. Don’t worry about having too many onsies- you go through a ton of them; alternatively, you can make them in different sizes.
