Pen & Paper Baby Shower Games

What's a party without party games and that holds true for baby showers, where games played with paper and pen never lose their appeal.

TV Moms have long been a part of our culture and a game that asks the guests to name as many as they can, will get everyone playing. (possible answers could include Carol Brady from "The Brady Bunch," June Cleaver from "Leave It to Beaver," etc.), "Name Some Moms Who Have Made History" (answers could range from secretary of state Hillary Clinton to Mrs. Fields of Mrs. Fields' Cookies) and "'Name Some Names' for Mother" (answers could include Mom, Mother, Mama, Mommy, Mum, and even some foreign translations of mother, including the French-based mere). Guests could jot down their answers in list form then read their lists aloud; prizes could be awarded for the longest list, the most creative answers, etc.

Pen & Paper Baby Shower Games also could challenge guests to come up with comical answers to various questions, such as "What Should (Insert Mom to Be's Name Here) Name Her Baby?", with potential answers including "(Insert Mom to Be's Name Here) Jr.," "Prince or Princess of the 3 A.M. Feedings," etc.; and "What Will (Insert Mom to Be's Name Here) Miss Most When She Becomes a Mother?", with potential answers including, "Her sanity," "Her sleep," "Her social life," etc. Again, prizes could be awarded for the funniest and most creative answers.

Pen & Paper Baby Shower Games also should involve the use of pictures and illustrations. Guests could be challenged to draw an impromptu portrait of the guest of honor/mom to be with her child (this could be a serious, touching picture of the mother cradling her baby, or a funny picture of the frazzled mom to be with a screaming kid in arms).Prizes for this baby shower party game could be awarded for the funniest, most creative, and most artistic entries.

If guests are artistic they could draw what they feel the baby may look like; being careful not to draw caricatures but capturing lovely possibilities based on both parents. Prizes could be awarded for most artistic, most original, most creative, etc.

Prizes and awards for the most correct answers or the best drawing of a baby can be anything from candy and baby shower party favors like tiny pastel colored baby rattles with ribbons attached to gift certificates to local stores and restaurants. The true reward for all guests, however, will come in the form of the pure fun and sense of friendship that these games can create at any baby shower event.
