Just wanted to add that we did the string (or ribbon in our case) game at a baby shower I organised and it went down really well. The best bit is when people huuuugely overestimate how big mum to be is and take metres and metres of the stuff (you need a few clueless ones to come for that)- it's all good as long as mum to be takes it in good humour!

We played another game where each guest had to send a photo of themselves as a baby to the organiser prior to the party. Then each guest had to match the other guests to their baby photos which were stuck on a wall- some people are great at being able to pick faces from a young age!

We also took bets on the sex of the baby, date and time of arrival, with a prize for the closest.

Another one is to guess the number of jelly "babies" in the jar.

We had a list of famous people's babies names and you had to guess the names of the parents- impossible for me I am hopeless on celebrities!

That's all I can remember at the moment....
