Why do we play these silly shower games? Perhaps because these games are a lot like the first few months of parenting: you try your hardest to come out on top, and sometimes you just have to laugh at your creative attempt.

Shower games should be tailored around the comfort of the mom-to-be. Also, consider the guest list. It might be easier to choose games after looking at what types of personalities will be there. If her conservative boss will be there, perhaps you shouldn't match each naked baby picture to each guest.

Determine what materials and small prizes you will need for each game. For instance, the popular "tray game" (explained below) generally serves a double purpose -- the items on the tray are used in the game, but are also the gifts from the hostess. You might also call on other guests to provide game materials.
