All you moms out there are probably familiar with the excitement of your first ultrasound—a pregnancy milestone you never forget. It involves lying on a weird bed-like recliner thing and having a gallon of gelatinous goo globbed onto your belly, after which an ultrasound technician gently jabs said belly with a sensor thing and may or may not ask you to empty “half of your bladder” so they can get a better picture. Yes, it’s truly a magical experience for a mother-to-be.

Luckily, on a small-ish computer screen, you get a first glimpse at your (very) little baby and you might even get to see his or her (very) tiny heart beating. And you’ll probably get to take home a few printed pictures of the little person inside you. Then the real fun begins as you explain to all your friends and relatives that, yes, those fuzzy blobs on the printout are in fact your offspring (pre-spring).

Well, why not turn all that fun and excitement into a baby shower game? That’s exactly what SimplyBabyStuff.com did with their Itty Bitty Baby Parts Baby Shower Game. If you’re planning a baby shower, it’s a safe bet your quests will never have played this particular game—or laughed so hard while playing any shower game.

The Itty Bitty Baby Parts Baby Shower Game is a guessing game where players must figure out what baby part they’re looking at from a set of ultrasound pictures. Those ultrasounds can be pretty hard to decipher, and as you can imagine, many of those little parts look like other parts—thus the big time laugher.

For only $13.95, this one little baby shower game could be the least expensive yet most memorable part of your whole shower. You get 12 ultrasound cards, enough blank answer sheets for 25 guests, and of course, directions and the all-important answer key.

These days, dads are more and more involved with the whole process of having a baby. There are entire books dedicated to what he’s going through while his partner’s pregnant. Dads are present not only in the delivery room, but at prenatal appointments as well. Stores now have baby gift registries geared toward mothers AND fathers. And, more and more commonly, dads are being included at baby showers.

As you may guess, “typical” baby showers aren’t the kind of affairs most dad’s would opt to be a part of…and so a new animal has been born: The Couples Shower. If you find yourself in the position of hosting a couples baby shower but are daunted by how to make sure everyone, dads included, enjoys themselves, here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Food: This will be the most important part of the shower for many guys, and most of them probably won’t go in much for frou-frou “fancy” food. Think sub sandwiches vs. finger sandwiches, and snack mix over butter mints. Also, you maybe want to leave the tiny punch cups in the cupboard.

• Games: Whatever you may have read, most guys probably won’t get a kick out of guzzling beer (or anything really) out of baby bottles—no matter how funny you think it will be. Instead of traditional structured shower games, consider tracking down some old, retro video games or selecting a shower location adjacent to a pool table. If you’re in love with the idea of traditional baby shower games, you could leave participation optional, and be sure your guests know it’s ok to “just watch.”

• Gifts: While many dads do enjoy fawning over precious little baby clothes (at least through the first two outfits), consider gearing your baby shower gifts  toward Dad-to-be’s interests a bit: a gadget like a baby monitor or some awesome adult-friendly kid music are winners. Or maybe you could make that adorable baby outfit a jersey from Dad’s favorite team.

Overall, the most important thing to remember is to have fun. If the atmosphere at your shower is laid-back and casual, your guests are sure to enjoy themselves.

Many moms to be get just about everything they will need for baby’s first year at their baby shower but what about having some fun? Is the baby shower really all about the gifts? Well, maybe!

Even though planning a baby shower is hectic, don’t forget about the baby shower games; they’re a great way to get people to socialize.

Check out our Baby Raffle Tickets; an excellent way to reward good friends and family for helping you to prepare for the arrival of the baby.

If you find yourself hosting a baby shower, one very important thing to remember is to work with your guest of honor to plan a shower that she’s comfortable with. Who would she like to invite? What kinds of food does she enjoy? What time of day does she have the most energy for a party? And, of course, is she the kind of person who enjoys tasting and guessing the flavors of unlabeled baby food?

Most people expect to play a few games at a baby shower, and these days there are so many great game ideas to be found—especially on the internet. It’s easy when planning a shower to get caught up in all the ideas without really considering what kind of games your guests may feel comfortable with. But really, what fun is guessing the size of Mama-to-be’s belly if she’s absolutely mortified to be caught in her friends’ scrutinizing stares?

Talk to your guest of honor, consider who will be attending the shower, and then visit the fantastic selection of baby shower games at SimplyBabyStuff.com.  There. Now you’re one step closer to planning The Perfect Baby Shower!
