If your client is willing, you can turn their name reveal into a shower game. Set up jars for girls\u2019 first and middle names and boys\u2019 first and middle names (unless she already knows the baby\u2019s sex). Each guest can suggest names they like, names they think your client might choose, or even joke names. Have your client dip into each jar and read the suggestions aloud. If she\u2019s already chosen a name, she\u2019ll get a kick out of people\u2019s predictions and enjoy revealing her real choice at the end. If she hasn\u2019t chosen a name yet, maybe she\u2019ll find a suggestion she really likes!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>6. Diaper derby<\/span><\/h2>\nPut guests\u2019 diaper changing skills to the test, but with the extra challenge of a blindfold. Split them into two teams and give each team a life-sized doll already wearing a diaper, a spare diaper, and enough blindfolds for each person. The first person on each team should put on their blindfold, remove the doll\u2019s diaper, put on the spare, and pass it on. The first team to reach the end of the line with a diaper successfully on their doll wins! Guests will enjoy seeing how fast and how well diaper changing veterans can work compared to amateurs.<\/p>\n
<\/span>7. Through the ages<\/span><\/h2>\nBefore the shower, get pictures of your client at different ages. If she\u2019s a good sport, have her give you the funniest ones she can find. At the party, show the pictures and have each guest write down how old they think your client is in each. The person who guesses the most pictures correctly wins! This game is a guaranteed laugh for guests who knew your client back then and perhaps even funnier for those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
<\/span>8. Baby bucket list<\/span><\/h2>\nHave each guest suggest one thing for your client to do with their baby in their first year. Guests can list anything from things they wish they\u2019d done with their babies, things their parents did with them, or even joke ideas. Tape poster paper to the wall that guests can write suggestions on with markers or, if your client is sentimental and would like to keep the list, have them write ideas in a blank book. She can check off the things she does with Baby throughout the year.<\/p>\n

<\/span>9. Baby charades<\/span><\/h2>\nThe same rules apply as regular charades, but make it baby themed! Split the guests into two teams and have each person who acts choose a card from a pile with phrases like \u201cchanging a dirty diaper\u201d, \u201crocking a baby to sleep\u201d and \u201cgiving birth\u201d. Baby charades can be especially fun at a co-ed baby shower where Grandpa might end up acting like he\u2019s going into labor.<\/p>\n
<\/span>10. Diaper designers<\/span><\/h2>\nYour client is about to change more diapers than she knows what to do with. Guests can brighten up future changings by customizing diapers at the shower. Set out diapers (cloth or disposable will do) and permanent markers and let guests write good morning messages, draw pictures, or doodle colorful designs on the back. After the party, mix the decorated diapers in with the rest. When your client is up in the middle of the night changing diapers, finding a message from her best friend written across her baby\u2019s bum will give her a laugh.<\/p>\n
Having a variety of activities is the best way to show everyone a great time. Outgoing guests will like pairing up with other people, while shyer guests might enjoy putting their art skills to the test. Your client will love seeing her friends and family laugh as they celebrate together.<\/p>\n
