Games Bridal or Baby, hopefully in that order;

When you are engage or expecting everyone wants to give you advice. Why not cut out shapes that fit the theme and have the guests write down their advice which can be turned into a cute art project or put into a scrapbook.

Word scramble – take words that fit the theme, rearrange each word, and make a cute printout for a handout game. Time the game and award a prize…just don’t forget to write down the answers.
Some ideas:
Bridal – ceremony, bouquet, bridal party, wedding, reception, the bride & grooms names, toast, garter, rings, marriage, anniversary
Baby – Lamaze, bassinet, bottle, pacifier, baby bag, diaper, birthday, delivery, stork, car seat, bibs, wipes

Whats in your purse? (Bridal)
We played this at my sister-in-laws shower and I thought it was fun. I had her make a list of 20 items you would typically find in a purse, 1 being the most common, 20 being a little more unique. The #’s become the amount of points. I made a form, 2 to a page, with a spot for their name, and then the #’s 1-20 with a small line next to it so they could mark if they had that item. Everyone got their purses out and showed each item as the bride read from the list.
**You could try this same concept but reverse it for a baby shower. Have guests write what they think would be in a diaper bag, maybe less would be better because how many people have 20 items in a diaper bag? Then the mother to be can say her items, any matches then you get those points.

Matching
Bridal - My sister in law put together a game at a bridal shower that was fun, plus I won so that made it more fun. She cut out movie/TV star brides but removed their heads, taped them on poster board and gave out sheets with the names of those in the pictures plus a few extra to help throw people off. The object was to match the correct name with the correct # dress.
You could also match wives & husbands of famous couples (Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Jada & Will Smith, Madonna & Guy Ritchie (well not anymore), LL Cool J and his wife, wait she’s not famous…just lucky)
Baby - You could do this for a baby shower by matching baby’s of movie/TV star to their mom’s either with pictures or just names. Who’s never heard of Apple, Suri and Coco?
