Bellacroft’s Top Baby Shower Games

A baby shower is a special event or any expecting woman and her family. The celebration is all about showering gifts and goodies to the expecting woman and the soon-to be born baby.

With so many fun aspects of a baby shower, including food, gifts and socializing, let’s not forget the REAL fun part: the baby shower games! Here are a few fun ideas for your baby shower game planning:

1. Measure The Tummy-

As we all know the girth of the expectant woman is a definitely a topic of discussion in most baby showers, so why not discuss her belly size? (Be sure to check with the mommy first!) A ball of ribbon or string is handed over to each guest. They have to guess the size of the tummy and pull out the length they believe is the size of the tummy. The winner is the person whose string measures closest in length to the actual size.

2. Tying the Diaper. -

This game can be played individually or in a group. The guests are blindfolded and handed over a doll with a diaper. They have to remove the diaper and perfectly place another diaper on the doll in the shortest time.

3. Musical Chair-

This is an all time favorite game and suits every occasion. Fun for any age!

4. Name the baby- Each guest is given a piece of paper and a pen. The group is then timed trying to find baby names out of the word “Baby Shower”. The winner with the most names wins a prize!

5. Pass the Ball-

This game requires 2 bowls, a spoon and small cotton balls. Fill one bowl with the cotton balls. Place the other empty bowl at a distance apart. Blindfold the player. He/she has to transfer the cotton ball with the spoon into the other empty ball. Since the cotton ball is light weight; the player hardly realizes when it falls away midway. The winner is the person who collects maximum number of the cotton balls.

Baby Shower games encourage guests to have a fun time – celebrating the birth of a baby and having a blast!

Unique Ceremony Ideas

Everybody wants to incorporate a unique tradition or ceremony into their wedding to make it a little extra-special. Actually, there are dozens of creative and inspiring ideas that are both traditional and non-traditional that will compliment your theme and your personalities.

Here are a few suggestions that would add a wonderful touch to your wedding celebration:

1) Incorporate some European tradition into your wedding by circling the altar together three times before proceeding back up the aisle for the recessional.

2) Instead of having each bridesmaid's bouquet look the same, choose a particular flower for each bridesmaid that best suits their personality. If you want to take it a step further, change the groomsmen’s tie or button to match their personalities.

3) Bring in a little of “Mexico” by asking the guests to form a "circle" around the bride and groom in the shape of a heart. The bridal couple will then dance their first dance within the heart as a symbol of romance!

4) Bring a little Romanian tradition into your wedding by having traditional musicians (Lautari), sing, dance, tell stories, perform magic tricks and more!

As always, the bride and groom can incorporate the:
