Get everyone wondering and joking as they try to guess the function of the most unusual baby items. This is especially fun when husbands and fathers are involved, and you may want to have it be a game only for the men at your co-ed party. You will really have to think to come up with strange looking objects if you want to fool seasoned mothers.
Start by showing the object, and having everyone think what it might do. Either they can shout it out, or write it down. The person with the most right wins. You can also award a prize to the person who thinks up the most unique real use for the product. Some suggestions of products include a bulb syringe, breast pump, ear thermometer, diaper stacker, sling type baby carrier, teething ring, formula mixer, etc.

This is a game that will have your party guests working quickly and will require some keen eyesight. You could put a twist on the game, so that the people who don’t win will be contributing their money to the mom-to-be, while the winner gets the prize.
In this game each guest takes out a dollar bill or higher if they think they can win (or want to give a greater amount toward the baby gift). Give them each a pencil so they can write on the bill. Have the expectant mother tell the group the names she has picked for either a boy or girl. The first guest to find and circle the letters of one of the baby names she said on the dollar bill wins.

Hosting a baby shower for a mom-to-be of a little girl can be a lot of fun and so you should take advantage of that. Little girls frequently love teddy bears as well as dream of being ballerinas, so why not mix the two and host a Ballerina Bear baby shower for the little girl on the way?
Decorations
A Ballerina Bear baby shower is really easy to decorate for. Simply buy decorations with the Ballerina Bear imprinted on them. You can easily find plates, napkins, tablecloths, banners, and even balloons imprinted with the Ballerina Bear. In addition to this, you can buy some nice Ballerina Bears to use as centerpieces or to decorate other areas of the baby shower location. Potted plants and fresh flowers with pink ribbons will also make nice decorations.
A cake decorated like a ballerina bear will set off the refreshment table and everyone will enjoy having a slice. Other refreshments can be provided as you see fit.
Games
A Ballerina Bear baby shower can be a lot of fun with the baby shower games. Simply buy a couple tutus and a CD of ballet type music. All of your guests will probably be wondering what type of game they will be engaging in. Simply pass out a sheet of paper printed with several ballet moves. Then, have each attendee put on the tutu and have each individual perform the ballet moves. A round of applause will determine the winner whose prize is one of the ballerina bears used for the centerpiece.

This game is great if you have lots of children coming to a family-wide shower. They are sure to love the balloons around the room and will have fun popping them with everyone else.
Prepare ahead of time by blowing up dozens of balloon. Stick little pieces of paper with different names inside before you tie them off. On one piece, but the name the parents have chosen if it is a boy and on another, put the name if it is a girl. (or only one if they already know what they are having). The person to pop the balloon with the special name(s) in it wins. You can require guests to pop it different ways such as sitting on it or squeezing it between their knees.

Baby shower games that get people laughing are often the best ones because they don’t feel overly silly, but they break the ice and allow everyone to have a good time.
A lot of the time just asking your shower guests to share information or ideas on certain topics will get the laughter started so that you can segue into more classic baby shower games, or ones that are a bit cheesy.
Playing What To Do When The Baby Won’t Sleep will give mom and dad good, or even humorous ideas of what they can do during those sleepless nights. People who have children will be able to give you tips on what you should or shouldn’t do based on their experience, those who do not yet have children will make you laugh too because they just have no idea.
You’ll simply need to give each person a scrap of paper and something to write with for this game. Then you can collect the pieces of paper and read the ideas out loud to the rest of the group. Some of the ideas will be quite funny, in fact you should encourage people to get silly if they want to. The person with the best idea will be given a gift, and maybe you can ensure that you’ll call them on your first sleepless night for more good ideas!
This is a simple game that will get shower guests warmed up to have a little fun. Baby shower games don’t have to be cheesy; instead they can be humorous and good, clean fun.
