Don’t Say Baby

Guess the Baby Animal
Have a list of animal species names ready. Guests will guess the species’ baby animal name—like cat and kitten, only a little more challenging. Did you know a cygnet is a baby swan? -

Baby Pictures
Ask guests beforehand to supply a baby picture of themselves. Hang up the pictures at the party and have people guess which picture belongs to who. -

Draw a Baby
Give each guest a paper plate and a pencil. Have everyone put the plate on their head and give them one minute to “draw” a picture of a baby on the plate—no peeking! Best drawing, as judged by the guest of honor, wins. -

Mix Tape

Pin the Sperm on the Egg
It’s the preggo version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey! This one might be more appropriate for a girlfriends shower (your Grandma probably doesn’t want to think about how your egg met his sperm). -

Preggo or Horror Film?
Find headshots of women in labor and women in horror films. Guess if the subject is in labor or scared out of her mind (though we know the two situations are not mutually exclusive). -

Chug the Bottle
This one is especially funny for someone who had a rep for being well-acquainted with the keg in her younger days. Fill baby bottles with milk and have guests race to see who can chug fastest. The mom-to-be can play too! -

Baby Pool
A twist on the sports pool, this one has guests putting money on the delivery date and/or gender, if it’s unknown. The pot gets paid out once the baby arrives. -

Guess the Middle Measurement
This one can be played as long as the guest of honor has a sense of humor about her unwieldy size. Have guests guess the circumference of the mom-to-be’s belly by cutting string to the length they think would just fit all the way around. Once everyone has their string, measure the belly and compare it to the strings. Whoever had the closest guess wins. -

Share the Wisdom
If a lot of moms will be attending the shower, pass around a blank book and ask each guest to write their best parenting advice. The book makes a sweet memento for the mom-to-be to take home at the end of the party. -

Diaper Race
Have a few dolls and a pack of newborn diapers handy. Time guests, including the mom-to-be, to crown the fastest nappy changer at the party. You’re DQ’d if the diaper’s on backwards.
