girlies..i need your advice on my moms baby shower!!!!!

ok..so im making all this games for the baby shower and im also doing baby shower prize tickets...like raffle tix...and many others...what i need from you girlies is some idea on what i should get for the prizes????? !!!!!!!!!!!

Please SUGGEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for my cousin's baby shower we did:

guess how big the mommy's tummy is (i actually have this cute ribbon i could send you, we didnt use it)

the person who's birthday is closest to the baby's due date, without going over

and have as many diapers as people...put something in one of the diapers and have everyone take one, whoever has the thing in their diaper, wins a prize--and your mom can keep all the diapers!

eta: i read the OP wrong...for prizes we got bath and body works gift sets (bc they were having a huge sale) and the centerpieces

Baby Shower Ideas

Activities for Guests:
• Bib painting
Supply bibs and puff paints for your guests. Have them decorate the item any way they want to make for the baby to wear.
• Time capsule
Instruct guests to bring an item to the shower for baby's time capsule. Have guests write a letter, and place their item in the time capsule, then put away for safekeeping until baby is older.
• Bottle drinking races
Have guests race to see who can drink soda/water from a baby bottle the quickest.
• Baby crossword puzzles
• Name scramble
Scramble some baby names the couple have picked, and have your guests try to unscramble.
• Baby food guessing game
Take the labels off about 10-12 jars of baby food. Have guests try to determine what the flavor of baby food is (make sure you keep a record of what food is what). Awarded prizes for most correct answers. You could also have guests taste the baby food, but unless you're really cruel, only use dessert flavors.
• Baby item scramble
Scramble the names of baby items (such as rdipae = diaper) and have guests unscramble. Prize awarded to the player with most correct answers.

Decorations:

Favor ideas:
• Bath and body products - A very trendy and practical baby shower gift that your guests will be oohing and ahhing over for weeks to come. Lotions, bath salts, bath petals, body wash, shampoos and more can be added for your guests' enjoyment. Attach a little note that says 'From our shower to yours' for extra cuteness.
• Hugs and Kisses - fill a baby bottle (or other container) with Hershey's brand chocolate 'hugs' and 'kisses' with attached note 'Hugs and Kisses from baby's name.
• Seed Packets - this is a very sweet idea, as guests will have lots of beautiful memories of your baby shower in their garden should they choose to plant the seeds. Seed packets can be customized with little sayings or poems for an added special touch. Watch the plants grow along with baby!
