Purchase a diaper bag and enough small items to fill the bag. Be sure that you can still zip the bag closed, but only if you pack strategically. Lay the bag empty on the floor next to the items. Give each guest 30 seconds to correctly pack the bag and zip it closed. The guest with the most items wins a prize and Mom gets to keep the diaper bag and goodies.

What better way to celebrate the future arrival of a baby girl than by throwing a baby shower with a Strawberry Shortcake theme for the mother-to-be? There are many ways in which the hostess can entertain with this theme in mind.

Pink and Feminine Decorations
Perhaps one of the most appropriate colors which go with the Strawberry Shortcake theme is pink. The hostess can choose to go with a color scheme composed of light pinks, dark pinks or a mixture of both. The first step a hostess can take with regard to the Strawberry Shortcake theme is to send out invitations with the Strawberry Shortcake insignia on them. This will let the attendees know that there may be a theme to the party. With regard to the room decorations, the tables can be set with pink carnations and other seasonal flowers as centerpieces and party favors, such as pink scented votive candles or scented bath beads/soap can be placed at each seat. The hostess may also wish to place pink balloons and Strawberry Shortcake Mylar balloons in various locations throughout the room and have strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Games Which Will Entertain and Delight
Baby shower games are a fun thing to play when at a party of this kind. One fun baby shower game which can be played is called All Things Pink. This is a word search where all of the answers which must be sought out are items which are pink. The winner of the game is the one who gets the most answers correct in the time allotted. One prize or a number of prizes can be given to the winner(s) of the game.

Baby shower games can actually get a lot accomplished if you know how to turn small tasks into competition. Many parents have a lot of furniture and other baby items that need to be assembled or put together when the baby shower is held. Instead of shoving these things in the corner of the nursery to be, have your party guests get in on the fun of creating things for your bundle of joy.

Putting It All Together
If you have several items such as a crib, a bassinet, high chairs, a portable crib, or other furniture divide your guests into as many groups as you have items that need to be assembled. Then, make it a competition! Tell each group that the first group to properly put together their baby item that they will each wins a prize! Not only will your guests have fun putting together the baby items, they’ll make getting ready for baby that much easier! Any time there is competition or a possibility of a prize, people will work!

This game can be played with as many players as you have, although groups of two to six people generally work best. Be sure that each group has items such as hammers, screwdrivers, or wrenches so that they can compete to the best of their ability. Remind your guests that the items need to be put together safely, as baby will be using them. The expectant parents will have a good time watching their work being done for them!

There are many games which a hostess can choose from when looking for the perfect one to play at a baby shower. If the hostess is interested in having a game which is a little bit unique yet still easy and fun then Muppet Scramble may be the perfect choice.

How to Play Muppet Scramble
Prior to the baby shower the hostess will need to compile a seek and find game which has about 10-15 words in it that are associated with the Muppets. Once the hostess has created the seek and find, she should then make the appropriate amount of copies in order to accommodate all of her guests at the baby shower, including the guest of honor. On the day of the shower, the hostess just has to be sure that she has enough pens or pencils for everyone and can hand out the seek and find sheets with pens/pencils once it is time for the games to get under way. The guests and guest of honor will then have approximately 5-10 minutes to find as many hidden words as they can. The guest who finishes the puzzle first wins a prize.

Great Prizes to Award to the Muppet Scramble Winners
Depending on what the hostess wishes to do, she can either choose to hand out prizes for the winners which have a Muppet theme or can hand out non-Muppet oriented prizes. If she wants to award prizes which stick with the theme of the game, a great gift to go with would be a Muppet Christmas tree ornament, if it is around the holidays. If not, or if the hostess wishes to have a neutral prize, a nice bottle of wine or beautiful candle holder could be two options.

Muppet Scramble is a great game to play and the theme is one which will most likely bring back some nice memories of these fun TV characters for the guests who get to play it.

A wonderful television series that caters to young children is the Boohbahs. These colorful characters delight children to no end so they are the perfect characters to use as a theme for a baby shower. The hostess throwing the baby shower can do wondrous things with a theme of this type.

Colorful Decorations
As the Boohbahs are lively and bright, so should the decorations be as well. There are five individual Boohbahs so a great thing for the hostess to do with regard to decorating a room for the baby shower is to have Boohbah mascots for each individual table. The tables can be decorated in the color of which the Boohbah mascot is. For example, one table will be orange; one will be purple, etc. There are also a number of Boohbah party favors which a hostess can choose from such as Boohbah wobbler cake toppers, napkins, cups, plates and invitations, just to name a few. Also, each table should have a nice floral arrangement for the center and a Boohbah balloon can be tied to the middle of the centerpiece. Colorful streamers are also a great way to add a fun atmosphere to the baby shower.

Baby Shower Games
An entertaining game which can be played at the baby shower is Know the Parents. The hostess will ask the parents-to-be 10-20 questions prior to the baby shower and will create a type of quiz for the guests to take at the shower. The questions will be general information about the parents and their little one on the way and the guest who answers the most questions correctly in the time allotted wins a prize. In order to keep with the Boohbah theme, the hostess can choose gifts in colors which match up with the different Boohbah characters.

A Boohbah theme is a wonderful way to get the mother-to-be ready for one of the popular children’s characters of today that is sure to delight her future child.
