There are so many ways that will make a baby shower a memorable event for a new mom-to-be. One of them is to plan and prepare for cute and exciting baby shower games within the party period. It is a small portion of the whole event but it holds a key to spice up the mood of people in the party.

As a planner of a shower, it is important to give attention to the probable games that will entertain the guests as well as the first-time mommy client. There is no standard format of the ideal baby shower games but the planner should consider those that are related to the baby though it is not necessarily parlor games. Also, the games can be something that resembles the client’s pregnancy. In planning the games, it is very vital to be careful in choosing those that will not give risk to the client’s safety. This means that games involving running, jumping, and throwing up some stuff should be avoided.

An example of a common shower game is the preggy-walk where each contestant should wear a maternity dress with a balloon inserted in front of its belly to appear like a pregnant woman. Then, the contestants will play some sort of a relay while acting as if having some problem with the pregnancy. Another baby shower game is the baby singing contest where the contestants give a song number with a baby-talk style. It is also possible to have a baby food eating contest that requires the contestants to have a race on eating common baby foods while acting and dressed up as babies.

Having baby shower games that are in a form of a quiz show is also a good idea. The questions can be about the couple during the pregnancy period and their plans for their baby. Another cute idea is to have questions that are about childhood favorite TV shows and characters, nursery rhymes or some baby trivia. Also, riddles and guessing games that are related to the babies or first-time parents can be included in the games list. In addition to that, having some joke time can brighten up the atmosphere of the baby shower. It is an effective form of entertainment to the guests especially to the mom-to-be client. The jokes should still be at least related to babies and must be carefully chosen not to offend the client and other people in the party.

For the shower planner, all the things needed for the chosen games must be prepared ahead of time. If necessary, there should be people that are also prepared as assistants for some tasks regarding the games to be presented in the party.

In summary, a baby shower planner must be creative in choosing and providing the most possible games that will entertain everyone in the event and will somehow help the first-time mom to be prepared for the arrival of the baby. Ideal baby shower games should serve as ice breakers that will ensure the elimination of boredom of people in the party.
