Baby Shower {Food & Games}

May 28, 2012 by becky 8 Comments

Last weekend I did a baby shower for my sister Melinda.  She is having her first baby, a baby girl and I am so excited for her!  I thought the shower turned out great.  I’m always looking for good ideas on what to do for showers so I thought I’d blog about it so I remember it and to share my ideas with you.
FOOD
Baby Shower Food

For food we had:
Chicken Salad Puff Sandwiches– This was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it!
Fluffy Pink Fruit Salad– Nice and pink and super tasty!
Savory Spinach Parmesan Bites– Something different than the normal veggies and dip.
Mini Carrot Cupcakes– Super cute and the best carrot cake I’ve ever had!

Baby Shower GamesI had a dot theme going on using my 1″ circle cutter. I cut out lots of dots using different shades of pink from card stock.  I spread those out on the food table, used it on the invite and we used them for our bingo game.

INVITE

The invitation. I made it by using the 1″ circle cutter with 3 different shades of pink cardstock. I bought my circle cutter at Hobby Lobby. I printed 2 on a page and cut it down to 5 x 7.  Idea is from Super Mom Moments. It was simple but cute. I used the font Shadows into Light. You can download that font here.

GAMES

I was so excited about this game because I made it up! I wanted something simple but cute and this game ended up being really fun! I found the picture of this cute baby here and just made it bigger and printed it out.

I then cut out onesies on different colors of pink card stock. I used my cookie cutter to trace the first ones then after that I used a cut out onesie to trace the rest since it was much easier. You could just google on images outline of a baby onesie and lots of options will come up.

I handed one out to each person and had them write their name on it and decorate it if they wanted. Then each person took a turn to “pin” it on the baby.  We just used tape on the back. I figured most people don’t like to be blindfolded so I just had them close their eyes and spin around a couple of times.  Also we made a rule not to feel around the wall for the paper because it’d be too easy. It was so much fun!

Next we played Baby Shower Bingo.  I made up the bingo board on Microsoft Word. If you want a copy of it just e-mail me at lovetobeinthekitchen@gmail.com and I can send it to you. If you want to make it cuter you could print it out on colored cardstock but I wanted to keep things simple. I gave each person a list of words to write out in the different squares. I did about 4 more words than there were spaces.

Here are the words I used:

sleeper
diapers
bib
wash cloths
burp cloth
onesie
hooded towel
diaper bag
stroller
baby socks
baby food
blanket
toys
teether
bottle
rubber duck
crib
baby lotion
booties
receiving blanket
boppy pillow
nursing cover
bouncy chair
pack n’ play
high chair
car seat
wipes
monitor

I printed out all the words for me to pick out and cut each word out.

Then we played a few rounds and had prizes for the winners. Each person had some dots to use to cover up the words. It was super cute. It was a fun game!

Lastly we opened presents! She printed out a list of everyone who was invited to the party then put a star next to the names of the people who were there. That way it was super easy for me to write down who the present was from.

She got lots of cute things. I am so excited for her!

Love you Melinda!

    Thank you so much for the ideas! I’m planning my daughter’s baby shower, and was looking for something simple, that didn’t require a huge budget or a huge amount of time. Your sister’s shower is exactly what I have been searching for.
