Baby Shower Games for the Best Baby Shower

We had a great time with this game which worked as a party favor as well. I filled baby food jars with pink or blue Jelly-Bellies (8 jars pink, 8 jars blue). Then I numbered 1-16 on the inside of the lid with a permanent pen. I decorated the lids with pink or blue gingham and a ribbon attached with hot glue, and put them on the jars.

As the guests arrived they chose either a blue or pink jar according to what sex they thought the baby was going to be. The mother-to-be picked a number between 1 and 16. Then everyone took off the lid to their jar, and the jar which had the number she chose told whether the baby would be a boy or a girl. We even had the person with the winning number give their favorite name as a possibility for the baby. In our case the mother-in-law 'won'. She had picked a blue jar (boy), and named him Bobby...both of which came true 2 weeks later! The guests get to take their jars of Jelly beans home as a party favor. Yum!
