Baby Shower games are the best! Don’t you agree? I’m sure you’ve played some of the common ones. Have you tried to guess how long of a string you would need to wrap all the way around the Mommy-To-Be’s belly? Or maybe you’ve gagged over tasting some baby food while trying to figure out the flavor? As much as those games are fun (and I honestly would play them again in a heartbeat!), I have a unique game to share that not many people have heard of. Wondering what it is? It’s called, There’s a Bun in the Oven!

There’s a Bun in the Oven is a great shower game for three reasons:

It’s unique and not many people have heard of it!
The game happens without anyone having to do anything special.
The game doubles as a cute pin your guests can wear during the shower.

How do you play?

Everyone receives a There’s a Bun in the Oven pin when they walk in the door. This is a great job to give the mother-to-be on the day of the shower. That’s exactly what I did for my best friend Kristen’s Elephant Themed Baby Shower. You can see all the pictures here. I placed all the pins in a cute little basket by the door, and as each guest arrived, Kristen said hello and placed a pin on them.

The only thing that the guests have to do is make sure to keep their pin on throughout the course of the party. They are allowed to say the word “baby” and anything else for that matter! The winner has actually already been determined once all the pins have been given out.

Towards the end of the party, before any of the guests leave, have everyone take off their pins and hold them in their hands. Instruct them to flip the pin over and look inside the dress. Everyone will have a white pregnant belly (or felt color of your choice) underneath the dress except for the one lucky winner!

The winner has a brown belly. The brown belly signifies “The Bun in the Oven”! Cute, right?!

How do you make the pins for the game?

Supplies You’ll Need:
Dress pattern – Print it from my free resource library. Get the password by filling out the form at the bottom of the post
Felt in any color for the dresses- I used white to go with the baby shower colors
Brown felt – a tiny piece for “The Bun in the Oven”
Ribbon in any color – I used gray to go with the baby shower colors
Flower accent – I used navy to go with the baby shower colors
Mini clothespins
Hot glue gun
Permanent marker
