Oh no, not those baby shower games!
baby shower fun originated at the turn of the last century as a way to help soon-to-be parents gain all the essentials for their first baby. Today, that tradition has exploded into elaborate parties, complete with the infamous baby shower food games.
baby shower ideas games (and shower games in general) have come to be enjoyed by some and dreaded by others. Traditional baby showers invite female friends and relatives and this often sets the tone for the type of games to be played. Baby shower games vary widely from clever, to embarrassing, to disgusting.
In the disgusting category are such games as ‘identify the baby food’. Eight to ten jars of baby food have their labels concealed and through tasting, the guests see who can identify the most flavors. Imagine trying to tell the difference between strained peas and green bean gruel. Maybe this shower game would be more palatable if it were baby fruits and desserts only.
For an embarrassing game, there are lots of choices. To embarrass the young mother-to-be, a game is played with different lengths of ribbon. Each guest takes a length of ribbon that they believe is equivalent to the girth of the pregnant Mom. One by one, they measure their guess around her and see who is the closest. What a great way to make a pregnant Mom, with hormones raging, more sensitive about how she looks!
