Baby Shower Games
One of the best parts about planning a baby shower is picking out the games. This can also be one of the hardest parts of the planning process. Pick boring games and the party will lag on and have many people scrambling to leave early, pick good games, and have the guests and mom-to-be praising you for your ingenuity. How then can you decide on which games to choose when there are so many to choose from?
