A baby shower doesn't have to be taken literally.
Laughter can add many memories to a baby shower. Being open and creative can lead to hosting a festive and entertaining baby shower that celebrates the wonderful gift the mother is about to receive. Enlivening the shower with humor and fun ensures that the shower will be different from your mother's baby shower. Does this Spark an idea?
Gifts
Gifts for a baby shower do not have to be routine. Using your imagination you can give ordinary gifts creatively. One such gift is the diaper cake, a bundle of either cloth or plastic diapers shaped like a giant cake. Other funny gifts could be baby clothing with funny messages or cute infant costumes. Give the mother some humorous coupons giving up some of your time to help out with sitting and housework.
Games
Games at a baby shower are a good way to put everyone into a festive spirit. One game that is geared toward the occasion is Guess Mommy's Tummy Size, in which everyone at the shower cuts an estimated length of string and then uses it to measure the expectant mother's waist. Other games are Guess the Baby Picture, in which everyone tries to figure out who's who at the party from a stack of baby pictures, and Pin the Baby on the Mommy, a variation on Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Food
The fare that you provide at the baby shower can also be humorous. One such treat is a mommy's belly cake, which is a cake that is shaped to look like the expectant mother's torso and stomach. Or you could just provide a regular cake adorned with a humorous message. Other refreshment ideas could be a wide array of mocktails, virgin versions of some of the expectant mother's favorite adult beverages. Another funny idea is to serve beverages in baby bottles and to use child plates and utensils to serve the food.
