If you are planning a baby shower for one of your friends you certainly want the party to be a big hit. You also really want the expectant mother to really enjoy it as well. At the same time you want some free baby shower game ideas that are actually going to be fun and not make your guest run for cover. Yes, you know the ones I am talking about. Stop stressing out over trying to figure one out on your own. I am going to give you one of the funniest free baby shower game ideas ever. I am not talking about free baby shower game ideas like pinning the diaper on the baby. Or wrapping the poor mother to be in toilet paper to see how many sheets it takes to go all the way around her. These free baby shower game ideas do not require you to remember nursery rhymes, unscramble baby jargon, eat baby food or guess what is in the diaper bag. That right there could be anything in the world coming from a mom let me tell you, diaper bags can be scary. For this free baby shower game idea, you will need to go and buy nipples (for baby bottles), pacifiers, and little plastic babies (these can be found at party shops). Are you intrigued yet, well you should be. You are going to also need a big tub, a clean towel, blindfold, and I would recommend an absorbent table cloth. To be nice, buy some hair ties as well. No one will want to have wet hair in their face. The day of the party, about one hour before you are ready to play this free baby shower game idea, fill the bottom of the tub with ice. A nice even layer of ice, then fill it with water. Have someone help you carry it to a table that is high enough for people to lean into it comfortably. Put the nipples and the pacifiers and the little plastic babies into the water. Have everyone line up and get ready to bob for baby stuff and now blindfold the first person. The goal is that each person has to stick their face into the ice-cold water three times, each time they need to pull out a different object. The first person to pull out one of each object is the winner. You can decide if you want to have one, two or three winners depending on the number of guest that you have. Make sure you have a decent prize. After all, everyone did just have to stick their face in ice water, blindfolded and fish for baby objects. If you want to be daring and the expectant mother doesn't mind, spike the bowl with your favorite alcoholic beverage. This would be done of course AFTER the expectant mother has had her turn. So make her go first. She will get a good laugh out of watching all her guest stick their faces in the water, and guests then enjoys a more refreshing dunk. There you have it, one of the funniest free baby shower game ideas ever. Go ahead and give it a whirl and make the baby shower that you hosted the most memorable.

Article Source:http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Amy_Wbaby - Oh No! What Do I Know About Throwing A Baby Shower Baby shower, huh? Let me get this straight. So, your best friend has just announced she's pregnant. You stood as her Maid of Honor, you planned her bachelorette party, and now - now you can't believe that you just offered to give her a baby shower! Relax, in order to throw a great baby shower you don't really need to know anything about babies. So, in that sense you are in luck. Since most baby showers are held before the baby is born, the shower tends to be more about the party than it is about the baby. First of all, figure out a date to plan the baby shower for. In order to best do this, it is a good time to start figuring out the guest list too. You will want to keep in mind that some people may be traveling to participate so plan accordingly. My personal favorite time to schedule a baby shower is about the 7th month or so. The mom is looking fun, perky and pregnant (a prerequisite in my eyes) but isn't completely tired and uncomfortable - yet. Also, the sex of the child is often known by then so shopping and creating wish lists of things the parents will be needing is easier to create to help the guests select their gifts. Selecting invitations and party accessories is as easy as logging on to the site of your favorite party supplier. They have great selections and prices that will beat most of the discount and superstores in your areas. Themes can be created around invitations or the accessories or you can select your own. One of my favorite baby shower themes is to hold the "A Star is Born" Hollywood style shower. All of the guests are treated as if they have come to a special ceremony for the next star in the walk of fame. I provide a red carpet for their arrival and everything. I video tape each guest as they arrive and interview them as if they were walking on the red carpet to a big premier event. I ask them to provide some words of advice for the new parents to be, etc. Games and activities carry either carry on the Hollywood theme. My favorite two to do are:
Rewrite the story lines from favorite movies into childrens bed time rhymes (Dr. Seuss style works too!) and see who can guess the movie they are from. One favorite game that isn't Hollywood related, but makes for great footage on your film biography of the day is to select 8 flavors of various baby foods and then have tasting stations where your guests take a small spoonfuls of each and then try to determine what they are. The one who guesses the most correctly wins the game, but the faces the guests will make while tasting some will make for some hilarious moments. Keep your refreshments stress free by keeping them simple. Finger sandwiches, chips and salsa, a slow cooker full of soup and warm breadsticks on the side all make for easy self serving. The important thing is to have plenty of room for the guests to eat, visit, and exchange stories because that is really what a baby shower is all about - reliving old memories while making new ones.
