I know it’s hard to come up with unique and fun baby shower game ideas, but it’s probably the most important part of planning a memorable baby shower. We’ve all been in showers where they play the same old silly games and everyone at the party is bored and uncomfortable.

Baby showers like these are not well planned, lack any kind of creativity, and are certainly not very memorable. I know you don’t want your shower to be one of these parties. This is such an important day in the life of all new parents and deserves special attention from the hostess.

So what can you do to plan the baby shower of the year? That is easy. Mix in a little planning, a ton of creativity, and some top-notch games, and you’ve got the perfect ingredients for a great shower. Here are some guidelines to follow when choosing your baby shower game ideas:

Get interactive: Choose games that encourage your guests to get up from their seats and interact with other guests. This makes the party more lively and no one sits in their seats for two hours. It also helps guests who don’t know each other get to know each other.

Be creative: Look for games that are unique and different. Everyone is tired of playing the same old boring games! There are thousands of baby shower games to choose from, you just have to know where to find them.

Keep it short: Nobody wants to be playing the same game for an hour or more. Find games that are short and play more of them. This also facilitates breaks for gifts, lunches and speeches.
