Baby Shower Games for the Best Baby Shower

By Robin Elise Weiss, LCCE, About.com Guide

I just played a game at a baby shower my mom threw for my sister in law. She bought teeny tiny newborn baby diapers, and filled each one with one particularly "stinky" food item. Then she numbered each diaper and tied them up with a pretty blue ribbon. She gave each guest a piece of paper and they numbered 1-10. She laid out 10 ( you could do more or less) diapers on a tray, and each guest took turns sniffing the diapers. Then they wrote down what they thought was in each diaper corresponding to the number on their paper.

She used several stinky things, like feta cheese, onions, coffee beans, chocolate, toothpaste, lemons, blue cheese, sun dried tomatoes, vinegar, tuna etc. It was the funniest thing I ever saw. It was hard for people to believe these were items that they actually eat! My mom kept saying, put your finger in there, taste it! It was gross, but so much fun! The mom-to-be even brought the dirty diapers home to let my brother play! I recommend this game to any and all... The laughs are worth it! And of course, whoever guesses the most smells is the winner. The funniest part is the anticipation of what the next diaper will smell like, because some smells were pleasant while others were absolutely STINKY!!!
