Baby Shower Games-Simple and Hilarious

Shower games are always hard. You don't want to be lame or cheesy or make anyone feel weird (or be forced to eat baby food) so it can get tough depending on who is attending the shower and what the mother-to-be likes.

Mrs. Curly J aka the Brayer was in charge of games for the shower. She decided to go simple and hilarious.

Our simple game involved guessing how many bookworms (to go with the Book Theme) were in a jar. Curly T, below, actually tied as one of the winners. She won the bookworms. The other winner got a Target gift card. (PS-Hobie did not grow by 20 billion times. That is my friend's dog Barkley, Hobie's Wise Old Man friend)

The second game was Baby Shower Bingo that we played while Beezus5 was opening her presents. Each person filled out a Bingo card with baby related items that we thought B5 would get. When she opened one of the items, we got to mark them off our card until someone got Bingo. It was fun/hard to come up with 25 baby items if you are not used to babies. My mom had no idea of the plethora of breast feeding supplies that are out there today.

The hilarious part came courtesy of the free space on the card. We decided that although this was a girls only event, the Dad should be present in some way. So Mr. Curly J did some photo shopping (or something) to create a baby version of the Dad to be, E.

I died laughing when J first emailed me the 'free space' pictures. Fortunately, I don't think E reads my blog and therefore won't see that I posted this pic on the interweb.

Luckily, I think most people found this funny and not totally disturbing.

Good job on games, Brayer!

What do you guys think?

Shana said...: We played Bingo like that at my SIL's bridal shower, but apparently the guests were a bunch of cheaters...so it didn't really work out. I'm glad, though, that your shower was much more successful.; November 28, 2011 at 2:04 PM
Bonnie said...: These games worked out beautifully. The E pic was a hit, also with E's friends that i have showed it to since then. It made people a little more interested when i was opening the presents too, which was cool. Good job!; November 29, 2011 at 6:45 AM
Amanda @ It's Blogworthy said...: Love the bingo idea. We did something similar to mine in that we had to write a baby item for each letter of the alphabet...I had no clue. Love the pic of E!; November 29, 2011 at 1:38 PM
Jenni said...: Great post, I'm glad the games went over well. I didn't want the wrath of B5 if I had people guess how big her pregnant belly is with toilet paper.; November 29, 2011 at 10:56 PM
