Baby Showers

The tradition of a baby shower is becoming more and more popular in Australia and is a way of helping prepare for the arrival of a new member of the family.  Baby showers can be a simple "come on over and look at the nursery we've decorated" or they can be a fully staged party complete with games.

Some clever ideas for baby shower games  include:

  • ask every guest to bring a baby photo of themselves. These are then displayed without identification and guests have to guess who they are.
  • Baby memory game - prepare a tray of baby items (eg: dummy, nappy pin, talc etc) about 10 items, on a tray and allow guests to see it for a few minutes. Remove tray and ask guests to remember what was on the tray.
  • Baby changing game - using a baby doll with a nappy have guests compete to see who can change the baby fastest.

Gifts for a baby shower are often difficult to choose as the sex of the baby is not always known. Often useful items make the best gifts:

  • a basket of essentials... nappy lotion, pins, talc,etc
  • bags of disposable nappies in various sizes
  • a few weeks of a nappy washing service
  • basket of basics... singlets, bibs, bunny rugs
  • linen... basinet sheets, cot sheets

Great non clothing gifts include.....

  • baby books
  • photo albums
  • time capsule
