Throwing a baby shower for a friend.

And want just a few ideas for games. Only planning on about two before gift opening and whatnot.

I know a lot of people aren't fans of the games, but I just want to come up with something that about 35 guests can participate in.

Before you were born, I dreamed of you, I imagined you, and I prayed for you. Now that you are here, I hope for you, I love you, and I thank God for you.

Someone posted earlier about a price is right kind of deal for baby products. Bingo during the gift opening always keeps peoples attention too.

I really liked the idea of the basketful of items and people gave a price for the whole thing (think that is how it was done).  It might take a while to go around the room for 35 people though.  Bingo during gift open would be great.  A quick game is to send around a baby bottle full of Q-tips or M&Ms in theme color and guess how many (closest without going over is the winner).  Obviously people would have to write down there name and guess.

I threw a shower for my sister and we played a memory type of game that went really fast.  I bought them their diaper bag and filled it with little stuff that they'd need for baby (socks, bottle brush, board book, pacifiers, hand wipes, band-aid, etc.).  We took items out one by one, showed them around, and once we put all of them back in the bag, people had 2 minutes to write down all that they remembered.  I think there were somewhere between 20-24 items total and  most people remembered half of them.  Whoever had the most, got a prize.  It was easy to do and Mom got the bag and associated items to take home.

I like wishing well type stuff, like signing a book for baby, writing words of advice and putting them into a box for MTB to read, or doing a "suggest a name!" game on a board and get a good laugh (and maybe a good idea or 2!)
