Unique Baby Shower Games
Here are some unique baby shower games for your next baby shower. Unique baby shower games keep guests entertained, and are a good way for guests to get to know one another. Baby shower game ideas such as Estimated Time of Birth are simple and fun. Freeze plastic babies in ice cubes to have ready when guests arrive. Place an ice cube in a cup of water and give to each guest. Have them estimate the time they think their baby will be “born” – when the baby will be completely melted from the ice.
Unique Baby Shower Games
Another baby shower game idea is TV Family Tree, where guests try to remember the children’s names of television families. This game is fun to play in teams. The next baby shower game idea is based on the TV show The Price is Right. Buy 10 to 12 baby items. Write the price on a small card. The guest that comes closest to the right price wins that card. The guest with the most correct price cards wins.

Baseball Birthday Party
Holding a baseball birthday party is sure to hit a home run with your child and their friends. A baseball birthday party can be decorated using a favorite team or the game of baseball in general. Decorate the baseball party with baseballs, cut out round shapes from white cardstock; add black lines and red stitches with markers. Cover the table with a green tablecloth and scatter baseball cards over the table.

Have the baseball party guests make personalized pennants from pre-cut felt or foam to take home. The baseball birthday party cake is made by stacking 2 round cakes, frosted with white frosting. Use black and red icing to add the baseball lines and stitching. Provide the kind of food for your baseball party that you would have a baseball game: hotdogs, sodas, cracker jacks, peanuts, etc.
