Baby Shower Games

Did you say "Baby"?
Provide a candy pacifier with a string or ribbon to each guest when he/she arrives. Have the guests wear the pacifiers around their necks and tell them not to say "Baby" during the party. When someone does, the first person who catches the slip, gets to confiscate the pacifier. The person with the most pacifiers at the end of the party, wins!
To make the candy pacifier, glue two lifesavers together with one standing up on the other. Then glue one small jelly bean on the upright lifesaver. String the ribbon through the hole to make the necklace.

Who am I?
This game is good for a shower where the guests don't know each other very well. Prior to the shower, write a name of a famous mom on a folded card, using famous mothers of twins if the shower is for a Mom-to-be of twins. Choose as many participants as you have names, attach the name card to his/her back in the way that he/she cannot peek at his/her name in a mirror. The task is for the participant to figure out the name of the person on his/her back by asking the other guests questions which can only be answered with a "yes" or a "no". The first person to guess correctly is the winner.
Examples of famous moms: Princess Diana, Laura Bush, Madonna, Mrs. Cunningham - from the Happy Days TV show, etc...
Examples of questions: Am I alive?, Am I American? Am I fictional ?etc...

Who knows the Mother-to-be best?
Ask everyone to fill out a sheet of 20 questions about the Mother-to-be. The mom fills out a sheet of her own answers. The person with the most correct answers wins.
Examples of questions:
1. What are the color of her eyes?
2. What is she wearing today?
3. Has she had any food cravings? If so, what was it?
4. Does she hope for boy, girl or either?
5. What names does she have for picked for the baby?
6. What are the colors she has picked for the nursery?

How big is the Mother-to-be's belly?
Pass around a spool of ribbon and a pair of scissors. Have each guest cut off a piece of ribbon in a length that he/she thinks would fit around the Mother's middle. Then the Mommy-to-be gets to show off her proud belly while trying on each ribbon. If the Mommy-to-be is not comfortable trying every ribbon, measure her waist and compare to each cutting. The person with the closest length wins a prize.
