When you choose to throw a baby shower for someone you love or care for, you are given a chance to show her how much you support her decision to become a parent and how much you care about her as a person. You can prepare all kinds of tasty drinks and food and put together all kinds of entertainment. Many people believe that you have to spend a lot of money to give this mother-to-be the time of her life. That’s actually not true.

If you want to spend money, spend it on the unborn baby. Entertainment is easy. In fact, try this baby shower favorite called “The Tummy Game”. What do you need to play? Actually, you just need a piece of string, ribbon or roll of yarn, some scissors and everyone around the mother.

It begins with one person cutting a length of yarn or ribbon to fit it all around the mother’s-to-be stomach. Each person will do the same thing. The person who cuts a length closest to fitting around her stomach will win. Be sure to give the winner a small door prize like bath salt, oatmeal bath treatment or a pen.

Your guests are sure to enjoy this old-fashion favorite.
