Do You Want Baby Shower Games at Your Party?
Whether you should have baby shower games depends on a couple of things. First, if most of the guests aren’t acquainted with each other, games make good ice breakers. And if you aren’t into games, there are other activities that you can do to help everyone get acquainted.
Secondly, do you WANT to have baby shower games? Not everyone likes to play games. No where is it written that you need games at a shower. If they make you uncomfortable, don’t do them. A shower is really about supporting and conveying good wishes to the mommy-to-be and the new baby.
Number of baby shower games
Since a shower lasts typically a couple of hours, and opening gifts and eating will take about an hour, two or three baby shower games will be enough to fill the other hour. Of course, if you decide on an activity that is time consuming, like working on a quilt for the baby, that’s all you need.
Prizes for winning games
Game prizes make the baby shower games more fun and I think they really are expected by the guests. They don’t need to be expensive, so don’t overspend if you don’t have a big budget. They can be something as simple as lip gloss, key chain, or lollipop. When I had my shower for my daughter I went to the Dollar Store and purchased them. Just whatever strikes your fancy is fine. It makes the game more competitive, which can be more fun for everyone.
