Guess the due date game. This is a fun guessing game where guests will have to guess the expected date of delivery.
The baby game. This is a fun game where guests that are not moms yet can participate. Dads can have a chance on this game too! This is a game where participants will have to change the diaper of the baby (of course use a doll) and who does it fastest wins.
Guess the baby’s gender can be fun too if the party is not gender theme related.

As for the giveaways, the party planner can opt for things that can be useful for their guests. If they have more mommy guests, a small toy that the kids will love will do or even a small figurine that says thank you is enough.
