Help from the Baby Shower Queen
A baby shower is marking a day with a celebration of new life, the baby, your baby coming.
The intention of a baby shower is to literally shower the mother with blessings, gifts and the good will of her loved ones. A baby shower is not religious, although in the forties and fifties, showers were thrown in along with a baptism or a christening.
Fun Fun FUN, Baby Shower Games
If you are planning to have a baby shower, then you can make it fun and exciting by throwing in some fun filled baby games. These games set the mood for the shower and help the guest to interact with each other. There are a variety of games you could choose from.’ The name game’ promises to be fun. In this game you have to ask your guests to select two names for the baby.
Now within a limited span of time they have to construct minimum three letter words from the two chosen words. The fun starts when the guests try to figure out the original names listening to the constructed words!
Example if the chosen is Richard Gere.The constructed words can be Rich,hard,rare etc.Be prepared to hear a lot of innovative and unique names during this game!
Another game which will make your shower exciting is called ‘Feeding time’. In this game you have place a large bowl filled with cotton balls and anther empty bowl next to it. Next blindfold your guests and ask them to try their hand at removing cotton balls from one bowl to another.
Sounds simple? Here is the twist; the transfer is to be done using spoons! The person to transfer the maximum cotton balls wins!
The game ‘Rice bowl’ is another difficult game but is no less fun. In this you have to mix closed safety pins in a bowl which is half filled with uncooked rice. The task for the blindfolded guests is to transfer as many pins as possible within a time limit of 30 seconds. As pins feel almost like rice the task becomes difficult and all the more exciting!
You can also arrange for a game by asking guests to bring their own baby photographs along with them. To play this game a little preparation is required. A secretary will need to label the photograph by placing a removable name tag at the back of them .After the labels are done you are to show the photographs to the guests and ask them to identify the pictures.
The guests are to write down the name of people of whom they think the photograph actually is. The person who gets the maximum number correct is declared to be the winner. This game brings back fond memories of earlier times and promises to be quite a hit at the baby shower celebration.
The above mentioned are just a few of the many baby games you can try out. All you have to keep in mind while choosing a game is that it should be hassle free and fun to play. So make sure you plan some great games to make your “big day” truly BIG!

The theme of your baby shower, must be kept foremost in your mind while making all your plans. Delightful to look at and amazingly delicious to eat, baby shower cakes are best when chosen per the taste and preferences for the mom-to-be.
To clear up one point ‘baby shower cakes’ are very -very different from ‘diaper cakes’. While the former is just like most any other cake, with special icing, made decorative and attractive, and special flavor to suit the tastes of the new mom, the ‘diaper cake’ is simply a baby basket which is filled with baby stuff, much of it is make from diapers, very cute.
The diaper cake is decorated or made with diapers, and an assortment of items for the new born baby. Diaper cakes can also be done up with real baby diapers arranged in innovative layers to attractive presentation, and if possible they can be wrapped in a cellophane with bright ribbons and bows to hold it together.
Baby shower cakes can be made at home or be bought from a local store or even on the internet depending on your ability, your available time and your preferences.
Home made baby shower cakes differ from grocery store cakes a little or a lot.
While there may be no basic difference in the ingredients, your cake presentation may be varied according to occasion, your mood, your needs, your flair to be creative while deciding upon icing, color, shape, etc. and actual presentation.
Your choice on presentation is key no matter what; homemade or a purchased cake. Several cake molds are available by which the cake can take shape of popular cartoon characters, making it suitable to be presented at a baby shower party and become the center of the guest’s attention.
Baby shower cakes bought off a supermarket shelf or bakery, though may lack that personal touch of your homemade cake, is certainly a more convenient and an easy option. Bakers or cake makers also take special orders for cakes that need to be custom made or look for a caterer in your area who knows how-to bake a cake right.
