Request for "family oriented" shower ideas

by Ann
(Tacoma, WA)

I want to host a "family oriented" baby shower. Instead of just having women at the shower, this shower will be for everyone in the family. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this a memorable event?

family show ideas
by: Anonymous

Our family has always had family baby showers. Never anything else. We have some games that are just men and have most that are for everyone. The reason for having primarily men is because most of the time the men at the party don't win. This way you make sure they are included. The cute games that are just men are for example:
You have to have a medium to large balloon filled with air. You hand it to each guy at the party. You have the guy put the balloon under his shirt. Then the host of the shower walks up to each guy and unties their shoe. If they do not have shoe lace's you give them a string for each shoe. They need to try to tie their shoes. They can NOT move the balloon out of the way. They are automatically disqualified or have their shoe lace untied again.
The first to complete this wins a prize.

There are the games that include both genders:

like the diaper game that has chocolate bars (all different kinds) melted into the diaper. It make it look like real baby doodoo. You number each diaper and keep the list to yourself so you know the answer. Then you pass the set of diapers around giving X amount of time for them to guess the chocolate. They can smell, but not lick it. These are great pictures to take of your guest at the party with their nose in a diaper full of dark brown stuff.

There are many games that are for both...

The game where they have to finish the nursery rhyme

The game where they have to unscramble the baby words.

Name the baby animal that goes with the "parent" animal. EX: a kid is with a ............ (answer)Goat........a cub is with a ............ lion. The fund ones are the ones that no one has heard of or are not familiar with.

Who knows the mom/dad best...21 questions (answers)

The baby clothes pin game - can't cross your legs/or say baby either one (you choose).

The memory tray...

You get the point. There are many options.

Open House Style
by: Anonymous

You could have an "Open House" style shower after the baby is born - where family and friends stop in during the day to see the baby, bring gifts and visit.
Serve snack foods such as meats, cheese, rolls.

Notes!
by: ALEX

Have everyone write a note to the baby about something that there parents did as a child or a short story of the family! For the kids who cant write have them draw a picture or use washable finger paint and have them put there the hand/ foot print on a piece of paper title "I Love You Baby ____" then just write the name of the person who print is was!. good luck!
