Almost everyone who has been to a few baby showers has played “Guess Her Girth” to the horror of just about every pregnant woman. This is a game that traditionally requires each person to tear off pieces of toilet paper the size of the pregnant woman’s mid section. While this may be funny to some, it usually makes the expectant mother feel a bit bad about her ever-expanding waistline, so this game is the perfect retaliation! This game can be played with men and women, and with as many players as you want, the more the better!

The Game
This game is a bit different, because each shower guest will be given a long measuring tape, preferably the plastic or paper variety associated with sewing. Each guest will then have to mark off the inch marker that they believe would correspond with the expectant mothers midsection. Each person will then have to tell the group which inch marker they chose.

The Catch
The expectant mother doesn’t have to measure her midsection with this game! Instead, she gets to tell each of her guests that they are all wrong, instead they have to write a compliment or series of compliments on the back of the measuring tape for the expectant mother that measures the length that they selected. These can be funny, serious, even moving, so long as they are flattering to the expectant mother. Each of these measuring tapes can then be read out loud by the expectant mother to give her a confidence boost, even if she is as big as a house!
