Baby Shower Games That Create a Keepsake

Emotions are bound to be running high at any baby shower. The mother to be is likely to be crying at the drop of a hat and so will most of the other women present. Here are some games that make great keepsakes for the guest of honor. All babies deserve as many best wishes as they can get!

Keepsake Baby Shower Game #1: Time Capsule

Buy a beautiful keepsake box that will withstand the rigors of time and decorate it for the baby. With the invite to the baby shower, ask each guest to bring something for the baby’s time capsule. It could be a photograph with the mother to be, a letter to the baby, a relevant clipping from a newspaper or anything else that they want to share. At the baby shower ask each guest to show their contribution, speak about it an wish the mother and baby lots of joy and happiness. Place all the items in the time capsule and present to the mother to be. Keep a pack of tissues on hand. We can guarantee you will need them!

Keepsake Baby Shower Game #2: A Letter From Me To You

Get some good quality letter writing paper, envelopes and pens. Give each guest a sheet of paper and ask her to write a letter to the baby to be born. Let each guest talk about her relationship with the mother, her feelings about the baby and what she thinks the baby would love as a 5 year, 10 year and 15 year old birthday gift. It is great fun for the baby to see years later what his or her aunt’s and uncles thought would make great gifts. In all likelihood the gifts will all be passé! Put all the letters in a scrapbook and present as a keepsake to mommy to be.

Keepsake Baby Shower Game #3: Puffy Paints

This game is loads of fun and can get messy too! Buy lots of plain white baby tees or onesie outfits or rompers or bibs. Any baby clothing in plain white will do. It is best to get lots of tees since those are the most used piece of clothing by newborns. Also get puffy paints for the guests. Ask the guests to get creative and paint tees and onesie outfits for the baby to wear. At the end of the baby shower present the mother to be with all the hand painted clothes. This makes a great baby shower game and is practical too!
