10 Pranks for Baby Shower

Baby shower is a special celebration, as it is the time for the pregnant woman to share with her family and friends the happiness and expectation of the birth of the baby. To ensure a healthy time, it is interesting to provide fun through delicate and intelligent games that do not cause discomfort to any of the participants of the event.

Pregnancy is a time when there is intense emotional sensitivity and the state in the last months of this phase does not allow many movements, so the baby shower and its play should be planned so that no stress is caused to the pregnant woman.

The materials needed to play at baby shower should be simple and not costly.

Cardboards, ribbons, old magazines, pens, and materials purchased from cheap plastic and toy stores fit many ideas for play. These items can be purchased or donated by the guests.

It is important for a person close to the pregnant woman to help in the preparation of both the baby shower as a whole and the games, as the future mother should remain dedicated mainly to taking care of her and her baby's health.

Prank ideas

What size it is: The prospective mom should measure the circumference of the belly in advance with a tape measure and ask the guests to guess trying to get it right. Anyone who hits gets a freebie;
Take care of the baby egg: Give each guest plastic balls to take care of. If a ball is dropped, anyone who has seen it can pick it up. The winner is the one with the most balls;
Baby Bingo: List the gifts and give each participant a bingo sheet. At the time of opening the presents, Mom reads the number of the gift she took and the participants dialing. Whoever bingo first wins a prize;
Who is in the photo: Ask each guest to bring a photo of you as a child and the future mom will try to guess who she is. If mommy gets it right, the owner of the picture will pay a gift;
Don't Say 'Baby': Make necklaces with a ribbon and a pacifier made of cardboard as a 'pendant'. and give one to each guest, prohibiting him from that moment from saying the word 'baby'. Anyone caught speaking the forbidden word should give his necklace to the person who caught it. The game with the most necklaces wins;
Scrambled words: Ask the guests to divide into groups and give each group a sheet of words related to babies written in scrambled letters. The team that finds all the scrambled words first wins;
Nailing the Sperm to the Egg: Draw an ovary with an egg inside on the paper and nail it to the wall. Embellish a tampon to look like a sperm and glue a double-sided tape. The guest should, blindfolded, turn around a few times and then try to glue the sperm over the egg. The first to get it right gets a prize;
How will the baby look: Take several baby magazines, sulfite paper scissors and glue. Separate groups of three to five people. Each group will cut and paste parts of baby photos on paper, setting up a picture of how they think their little baby will be born. The mother, not knowing which images correspond to each group, will decide which of the clippings most closely matches the way she thinks the baby will look;
Guess how many pins: In a jar put several diaper pins. The guest who hits or gets closer to the exact number of pins in the pot gets a little gift;
Memory: Place on a table various baby items, such as baby bottle, pacifier, rattle, pin, disposable diaper, ointment, teddy bear, duckling, shampoo, biter, bib and others to remember. Ask the guests to memorize and store everything quickly in a box. Whoever writes the most objects in the box gets a freebie.

Using creativity in prizes for prizewinners is the best alternative as there is no need to worry about buying expensive gifts. Goodies like candies, tin cans with cookies, candies, jelly beans or chocolate confetti are cheap and guarantee success.

The ideal is to plan ahead to plan an unforgettable baby shower and gather dear people to share this moment of joy of the pregnant woman. More than seeking to provide a beautiful event, the essential for the future mom is: Relax, dress beautifully and comfortably and have fun.
