Baby Word Search:
I love word searches, so this game is right down my alley. Frugal Fanatic offers great Baby Word Search downloads. Check them out Here.
Baby Word Scramble:
I'm not as good at word scrambles, but some people really enjoyed working on this game at the baby shower. I used the word scramble from Plan the Perfect Baby Shower, which you can get Here. Or you can get the word scramble from Frugal Fantastic Here.
Baby Bingo:
This is a fun game to do while the mother-to-be opens her gifts. You fill out your card with items you think she will receive. It can be difficult to fill all the space, but sometimes you have to think creatively. I used the adorable bingo card from Aspen Jay, which can be found Here. Frugal Fantastic also offers Baby Bingo cards Here. Or if you want to do Bingo separate from the gifts, Catch My Party has Bingo cards that are already filled out Here (it's #11 on the list).
Name the Baby:
I made my own design for this game. The first person to come up with a name for every letter wins. I was surprised how quickly the game was over. Afterwards we read all the names we'd come up with. You can download this game below.

Baby Advice:
I have seen a number of different baby advice games, but I decided to create my own version. I made 4 x 5.5" cards with space to write advice for mom, dad, and baby. I also provided stickers for guests to decorate the card. You can download my instructions and printout Here.

Decorate a Block:
I didn't do this one, but I really wanted to. Maybe I can do it for another baby shower. I got the inspiration for this idea from We Heart Parties. You can see what they did Here.
Guess the Belly Size:
Invite guests to guess how big the mom-to-be's belly is. Provide scissors and yarn or string, so the guests can cut a string the length they think will perfectly fit around the mom-to-be's belly. The guest with the string closest to the actual size wins. The mom-to-be can try each string around her waist or cut a string the length that fits around her belly and measure the strings against that one.
Decorating Onesies:
I was first introduced to this idea at a friend's baby shower. Everyone says you can never have too many onesies, so I thought it would be a perfect activity for the first baby shower for my sister-in-law. I bought four sizes of white onesies and fabric markers. To prevent bleeding through the shirt, I put cardboard in the onsies. There were some great (and some not so great) designs.
