More Baby Shower Pranks

No, don't think the ideas for the event are over. Now you will be able to watch some videos, all of them with various suggestions! Write down all the tips and make baby shower a very special party.

Measuring mom's belly

Among other ideas, we have here a classic: try to hit how much measures the circumference of the pregnant woman's belly. To play, you only need string and scissors, making it a great option for those considering saving. The guest cuts off the piece of string that he believes matches his belly size. The one who approaches or hits the most wins.

Dad, follow mom!

One of the funniest games mentioned in this video is one in which the couple will need to interact. The father must be blindfolded and the mother will have to guide him to find a particular object. For example, you need to find the bottle that is on the table of one of the guests. If the time runs out and the parent cannot perform the task, he will have to pay a gift.

Pregnant life

During pregnancy, especially in the final stretch, when the belly is naturally larger, for many pregnant women it can be a bit tricky to tie the shoe. For guests to feel a little of this experience, they should sit in a chair, place a party bladder in the belly and they will try to tie the shoe. Whoever succeeds, and without letting the balloon burst, wins the race.

Back to childhood

Those organizing baby shower games should ask in advance for guests to take pictures of when they were children. When the pregnant woman opens the gift, she has to find out who is in the picture. One suggestion is that these photos be, after the momentum, exposed on a mural.After all, remembering the past can be exciting for a meeting between family and friends.

Pop the balloon

Once you have counted a certain amount of bullets, place them into a large balloon. During the party, you should ask the guests how many goodies they believe are in the balloon. Once they get it right, just pop it in the middle of everyone. The kids will love it!

Mom and baby relationship

For this game, you will need to bring a doll and a box. The box will contain cards explaining various activities that a mother performs on a daily basis with her young child. This could be, for example, this mission: changing the baby's diaper. Promptly, the pregnant woman needs to perform the task and the guests will tell if she performed everything perfectly.

An interesting point is that many games can be done without weighing in the pocket, great for those who are saving for the arrival of a new member in the family. Plus, there are affordable gifts you can give during scavenger hunts: a calendar, a keychain, or a chocolate can always please. It is a kindness that you will be doing for those who went to honor them.

Oh, and for the party to be a success, don't forget that some guests may not want to play a game, and that's okay, you have to respect each other's way. Most importantly, everyone is present at such a special time for the baby's parents.
