Planning a Baby Shower? Along with the food, pretty cake, and gifts, one of the things that makes a baby shower fun are the games! Yes, they can be silly, but they are a great way to break the ice, show the Mom-to-be your support and have a giggle or two in the process.

At a recent baby shower I attended, everyone took a mini clothes pin when they signed in. Through out the evening if you said “Mom” or the Mom-to-be’s first name, someone could steal your clothes pin. The person with the most clothes pins at the end of the night won a gift bag.

Some of my favorite resources for Baby Shower Games you can print out at home are:

• Games galore that you’ll adore at BabyShowerStuff.com! Bottles Up Game, Fabulous 5 Personalized Game, My Water Broke Game, and More!
• The Deluxe Baby Party Game Collection! With over 75 printable baby shower games you print right from your computer!

I was at a baby shower earlier this week and the centerpiece for the main food table was a cute tulle wrapped baby diaper cake. Not only do baby diaper cakes make cute centerpieces, they are a gift the Mother to be really can use! For example, around each layer of the cake below is a pretty receiving blanket.

Baby diaper cakes are pretty inexpensive and easy to make – they can also be as simple or elaborate as you want to make it. They can also be made with disposable diapers, cloth diapers, baby washcloths and other baby necessities.

Here are some instructions for making your own baby diaper centerpieces:

• Excellent step-by-step video for making a simple baby diaper cake that is three tiers
• How to make a baby diaper cake centerpiece
• Craftbits has the British version “How to Make a Nappy Cake”

Need more inspiration or just want to buy one instead of making one? Below are some of my favorites – click on the images for more detail, ordering information and price.

This absolutely adorable cupcake cake was made by a good friend of mine for her son’s birthday. Inspired by Eric Carle’s Very Hungry Caterpillar book, the cute little critter is so simple to make. Just bake your favorite cupcakes and frost all but one with a bright green. Frost one with red and arrange in the shape of the caterpillar. Use black icing to add the face and legs. This is guaranteed to be a hit!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar birthday supplies are pretty hard to find, but you can buy the Eric Carle Birthday kit that includes24-page booklet with party-planning tips, recipes, and games; 20 festive party-favor bags; 20 colorful crowns; decorative ‘Happy Birthday’ banner; Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Elephant game; and more than 50 stickers. I also found this how-to to make very simple but sweet Hungry Caterpillar party invitations.

Actually, you could easily use this caterpillar cupcake cake for a Very Hungry Caterpillar inspired Baby Shower too. Check out this amazing 3 tiered diaper cake that would make a truly eye-catching centerpiece:

The three tiered Hungry Caterpillar diaper cake can be purchased through The Frog and the Princess.
