3 Out-of-the-Box Baby Shower Games and Ideas

Due to the success of TLC’s 19 and Counting, the guess-the-type-of-mashed-chocolate-on-the-diaper game has been really popular at baby showers. The chug-the-baby-bottle and eat-the-baby-food games are pretty common games, too. Everyone loves showers that celebrate a brand new baby, but after awhile the same baby shower games get old, fast.

Here’s a list of Brea’s top 3 baby shower games that are guaranteed to entertain all guests of all ages—yes, even grumpy ninety-eight year-old Aunt Agnes!

3 Out-of-the-Box Baby Shower Games

1). Draw a Baby

All this cheap, easy-to-do baby shower game needs is a stack of paper plates and a few markers. Give each guest one paper plate and a marker and tell them they have to draw a picture of a baby. However, it’s not that simple—each guest needs to draw with the paper pate on his or her head! The finished masterpieces are sure to have everyone laughing!

2). Diaper Relay

Are your guests ultra-competitive? If so, break them up in several teams. Place several extra-large adult diapers at the end of the yard/room. Line up the teams on the other side. After signaling “go,” the first person on each team runs down to the stack of adult diapers to put the diapers on themselves (over their clothes). Once finished, they run back, lay down, and let the next person in line “change their diaper.” You’d repeat these steps until everyone has gone. It doesn’t get more personal/embarrassing than this!

3). Get Crafty

Buy enough onesies (different sizes) to give to each of your guest. Stretch each onesie across of piece of cardboard. When you’re ready to play, set out fabric paint and other baby-safe décor (ribbons, glitter, etc). Have everyone paint a personalized design on the onesie for the new baby. It’s a craft that the new parents can cherish forever—even after their precious baby outgrows the onesies.

Diaper Cakes and other Crafty Baby Shower Gifts

Have you ever gone to a baby shower and looked at some of the gifts and wonder, “why didn’t I think of that?” Suddenly, the cute onesie you bought or the toy you purchased looked small in comparison to the handmade blankets and hand-embroidered outfits that other guests brought. Or worse—someone showed up with the same exact gift as you. Most mommies-to-be want the items off their gift register. However, you can’t register for something handmade, something thoughtful, or something crafted. Handmade gifts are usually favored over the Carter’s onesie or the Fisher Price toy—not because Carter’s or Fisher Price is bad, but because there is nothing else like it. People like unusual, one-of-a-kind, unique gifts. The problem is many women today are too busy to be crafty. And even if you are crafty—the materials, ribbon, onesies, thread, and whatever else you need can cost more than double the price than paying someone to make it for you.  

At Brea’s Baby Boutique, we can help you give a perfect, unique, handmade baby shower gift for the special mommy-to-be in your life. We offer a wide selection of cheap, handmade baby shower gifts. If you want, you can even say you made it. Don’t worry, we won’t tell J

One gift that is always a hit at baby showers is the diaper cake. A diaper cake is exactly what its name implies: a multi-layered tier cake made out of diapers. Diaper cakes are perfect—they’re handmade, beautiful to look at it, and they give the new mommy something she needs more than anything else: diapers!  

Currently we have 36 different types of diaper cakes. Some start as low as 19.99--that's cheaper than a pack of diapers! Below we've listed some of our most popular diaper cakes. It’s time for your baby shower gift to be the highlight of the party!
