diapers, clothing, bibs, washcloths, baby wipes, blankets are all good gifts.
You can buy baby clothing for when the baby gets older. Moms tend to get a lot of clothes for when the baby is first born but not enough for when the baby starts to get bigger. They grow fast! Get clothes for like 4 month, 5 month, 6 month,(ect) old babies.
after she delivers baby sitting and coming over once in a while (when she wants you to) and watch the baby with her. Watch the baby while she takes a nap every once in a while.
These are some games we played at my sister's baby shower:
Measure Moms Waist/Stomach - This game is a lot of fun we played this game at my sisters baby shower. First u have 2 get some yarn, or u can use anything such as toilet paper, string etc. Let everyone know that they have 2 decide how big the mother-to-be waist/stomach is. Take the yarn let them tell U where 2 cut the yarn, after eveyone has gotten their piece of yarn, they than needs 2 place their yarn around the waist/stomach of the mother-to-be. Who's ever piece of yarn is the closets they win a door prize.
baby shower bingo - as your guest arrive to the party, hand them a blank bingo card and have them fill out their squares with baby items (such as blankie,wipes,and washclothes)also have them write their names on the back of the bingo card, as the mom to be opens the gifts pass the bingocards back out and when the mom gets a blankie you mark your blankie square and so on the first one to fill their bingo sheet wins.
Bottle "Baby" Game - Free Baby Shower Game Idea ~ Buy little bottles from the arts and crafts department. Put them on a ribbon or string. Tell your guests at the door when you give the bottle to them that if they say the word "BABY" at all during the shower, whoever catches them saying it "takes" their bottle necklace. Whoever has the most at the end of the shower is the WINNER.
Thank You Notes - Purchase "thank you notes" for the mom-to-be. Have each guest at the shower write their name and address on an envelope when they arrive. At some point during the shower, draw one envelope... that person wins a prize! And the mom-to-be already has all her thank you notes addressed
Feel free to Private Message me if you have any questions (My sister got pregnant young so I know all about this stuff especially since i had to plan and organize her baby shower)
