Baby Shower Games
Baby Shower Games are a great idea to entertain everyone, and it helps guests get to know each other if the party is made up of a range of friendship groups (work, family, etc). Remember to pick games that will suit the people you have invited. If it is a family event with Nannas and aunts don't make all the questions about current celebrity babies.
If you are organising and printing out the question and answer sheets yourself, find some baby themed paper from Officeworks, or a stationery shop to keep the theme going. Or add a picture to the header and footer of your page as you print out. Or print on pink or blue paper.
Prizes for the games can be anything fun, chocolates and lollies, magazines, facewashers, flowers, pot plants, tea, tea cups, DVDs with a baby theme, music and notelets or writing paper.
