Are you looking for a way to get your guests acquainted with one another and perhaps learn about each other? It’s likely most games will not know of each other. A great game that breaks the ice is called “Baby Name”. It works best if the expectant parents haven’t chosen a name for the little tot just yet. How does the game work?

Each guest will tell everyone what her full name is. If they are married, be sure they mention the maiden name too. If they should know what their names mean, then this should be given too. They can tell about who they were named after or why their parents named them that particular name. You may be surprised to learn how some people’s names can about.

For those guests who did not know what their names meant, purchase a baby name book to use at the party. As hostess, you can take part on the fun and could even learn some things about your own name. Make sure that the guest of honor has a notepad and pen to write down the names that interested her.
