Depending on how kind you are, you may or may not want to warn them about the dog food beforehand.Written in connection with the Write with Fauna Program. Extra points to anyone who gives the nappy a lick. Smear nappies with anything vaguely resembling a baby’s bowel movement - peanut butter, pâté, lemon curd, melted chocolate, Marmite, curry sauce - even dog food - and get guests to guess what they are. No decent baby shower is complete without this crappy classic. What about: Finding out you’re pregnant then realising you’re not sure who the dad is Trying not to conceal how much you hate your midwife while giving birth Squeamish dad reluctantly trying to cut the umbilical cord and for the grand finale: The horror of that first post-birth bowel movement. Creating your own scenarios to act out is much more fun. You can find downloadable suggestions online but truth be told they're as dull as they are predictable, eg: " Discovering you’re pregnant", "Burping baby". Just like regular charades but baby-related (obvs). Here are some suggestions for games the guests might actually find amusing, hopefully forgetting in the process that the cocktail they're quaffing is actually a mocktail as the organiser has decreed that if the mum-to-be can’t drink alcohol, no one else bloody well can either. If you’ve ever been to a baby shower you’ll know that:ī) Some of the games require you to suck. Not only will it have the mum-to-be spraying coke out of her nose with laughter (the carbonated drink variety, obviously), it will also get the guests in hysterics discussing their own buttock-clenchingly embarrassing mothering moments. It goes without saying that the perfect baby shower present is The Alternative Baby Keepsake Book. Twenty three? I doubt I'll even know 23 pregnant people in my lifetime, let alone 23 who are pregnant and have a baby shower.
Whether you think they're the most irritating US import since The Osmonds, or a marvellous opportunity to celebrate the imminent arrival of a spanking new member of the human race, baby showers are increasingly popular here in Blighty.īack in 2013, a Mothercare survey revealed that not only were more than a quarter of UK mums-to-be planning a baby shower, they expect to attend 23 in their lifetime.
