Baby Food

Display 12 jars of baby food in pairs of like colors. For example, a jar of carrots should be paired next to squash. Remove the labels from each jar and label them one through 12 in permanent marker. The hostess should create a key so one person knows which type of baby food each number represents. Ask guests to guess what type of baby food is in each jar by either sight or taste and write their answers on a piece of paper. Once each guest has had time to guess, reveal the correct flavors. The guest with the most correct answers wins. A prize can be provided to the winner. The labels can be put back on the jars, and the mother-to-be can take home the baby food.
Price is Right
-
Purchase essential baby items such as onesies, diapers, bibs and lotions. Remove all price tags. Put all items on a tray or in a basket where guests can easily see them. Have guests guess the price of each item or the total price of all of the items. Reveal the actual prices. Reward the person who guesses the closest on the most prices or reward the person with the closest overall total.

Baby Photos
-
When you send out baby shower invitations, include a message asking guests to bring a copy of a photo from when they were a baby. Instruct guests to write their name on the back of their photo. Collect the photos from each guest as they arrive, keeping them out of view from other guests. Number each photo with a note and affix the photos to a bulletin board or poster board. Guests can write a name for each number on a piece of paper. Make sure everyone is wearing a nametag. This will help the guests who don't know everyone. Reveal the correct names with each baby photo and give the person with the most correct answers a prize.
How Many?
-
Fill a clear baby bottle with small candies such as jelly beans or M&Ms. Count the candies as you fill the bottle and record the total. Have guests guess how many candies are in the bottle. Make slips of paper available for guests to write their name and guess. Fold each paper and put them in a bowl near the bottle of candies. Once everyone has guessed how many candies are in the bottle, reveal the correct number and give a prize to the person who guessed the closest number. Give the the winner the bottle full of candy or give it to the mother-to-be.
