Baby Shower Taboo

Baby Shower Taboo from Fun Squared. You might recognize this classic game. Divide the guests into two teams and have someone draw a card. She needs to get her team to say the word at the top of the card, but she can’t say the 5 words below it as she describes.

Encouraging Words for the Wee Hours

Words for the Wee Hours from Happy Home Fairy. I was so happy to stumble upon this printable. Julie is a friend of mine for 20 years (where does time go) and she has some amazing printables. Print these Words for the Wee Hours. Challenge shower guests to make their own, but you can display yours on a clothes line with clothes pins. Vote on the funniest sayings or the phrases that make mom laugh the most at the little tinkle notes. This is not only fun, it gives the mama a pack of diapers – talk about a diaper changing need – plus it’s encouragement in the middle of the night as mama (and dada) care for the new baby! Now I am dying for a friend to have a baby so I can gift these messages.

Name that Baby

Name that Baby from DIY Network and TomKat Studio. Have each guest bring a baby photo of themselves. Post the photos on a board along with a printed number. Throughout the shower, guests can study the board and take a prediction at who is the precious baby doll in each photo. Have an answer key and review answers at the end of the event. The shower guest with the most correct answers, wins the trivia game. Up to 12 guests.

The Price Is Right

The Price is Right from Tula Mama. Set up a table with the baby item listed on this sheet. Have guests fill out their card with their best guesses for the price of each item like a pack of diapers, baby wipes, baby bottles, baby food and more. The person with the closest price of each item scores one point. The guest with the most points is a winner and wins a prize.

He Said, She Said

He Said, She Said from Unoriginal Mom. Just like the classic bridal shower game, is this fact about mommy or daddy. Pick up the free printable lips and mustache as well as the header for the fun game. But personalize for yourself in a Word Document.

Candy Bar Game

How Sweet It Is from Lil Luna. Well this is fun. When playing this game, you can have a jar of candy around. Fill out the matching pregnancy term to the candy bar. For example, girls name would be Baby Ruth. Have a basket of candy bars mentioned in the game. Most likely, everyone will have these answers right, so give he bar to who shares the answer with the group when going over results.

Baby ABCs

Baby ABCs from PJs and Paint. Ready, set, go. You are timed trying find a baby related item that begins with each letter of the alphabet. If there are repeat letters (like two people choose diapers for D) a point is not awarded. Person with the most points at the end wins. Make sure your words are unique and baby related! Twist it up: play with a ticket. Unique ideas get a raffle tickets. At the end of the shower, you can draw raffle tickets for a fun prize!

What’s In Your Phone?

What’s in your Phone from Inspiration Made Simple. It’s basically the same concept of “What’s in your Purse?” but baby shower edition. Each participant earns points for the item that they have in their phone. Things like having the Pinterest app or having the baby shower in your calendar.

Pass the Parcel

Pass the Prize from Tula Mama. Similar to pass the present, start the game off with one person. Normally the baby’s mama! Mama has to pass the gift off to someone who matches the description in the line of the poem. Keep passing the gift with each line of the poem until the final line of the poem is read.

Celebrity Name Game

Celebrity Baby Names from For the Love of George. See who knows US Weekly best with this parents to celebrity baby name match.

Baby Jeopardy

Baby Jeopardy from Tula Mama. I will take “Nursery Rhymes for 300, Alex!” Play everyone’s favorite television game, the game of Jeopardy with all things fitting for a baby!

Name that Tune

Name that Tune from Play, Party, Plan. Skip the nursery rhyme game and instead play these amazing tunes. Download this list of 50 songs with the word baby in the title ranging from Justin Bieber to The Beatles. See who gets the most songs right, first.

Name that Artist

Name that Artist from Play, Party Plan. Contrary, as if at a poetry reading, read the lyrics to songs and see how many people can guess the artist. “They say were young and we don’t know, we won’t find out until we grow…” – Name that artist!

If you’re looking for a creative and fun way to celebrate your child’s birthday, then consider planning a birthday scavenger hunt! It’s a fun twist on traditional gift giving and makes getting birthday presents so exciting.

Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party

Birthday Scavenger Hunt Ideas can be done with family and/or friend. In fact, add this activity to your child’s party for a fun adventure and party game that their guests will always remember. The best part is that your child gets to work with their friends to solve the birthday riddles to find the clues that lead to their gift. Once all the presents are gathered, sit down and have fun opening them with family and friends.

Here’s how the birthday treasure hunt works:

To pull of the best scavenger hunt party idea, you need to do a little prep.

Schedule: Scavenger hunts can be done anytime during the kid’s birthday party, or as a closing activity that will keep all of your guests entertained to the very last minute.

What you need: You’ll need this Birthday Scavenger Hunt pdf, scotch tape, and gifts with clues attached to each.

Set up: Print the pages out on cardstock with a color printer. You’ll also need to cut out the individual scavenger hunt clues and attach them to items in your house that all lead back to where you will hide the birthday gifts. If you have 15 birthday gifts, use 15 clues. If you have more than 20 birthday gifts, have two gifts at one clue setting.

Rules: To make this work in a party setting, you’ll want to explain the scavenger hunt rules to the kids and remind them that they will work together to find all of the clues in order to find the birthday presents. Working together will be a great way to teach teamwork, problem solving, and planning skills. No to mention, building excitement about the gifts!

Time: Include a time limit for the kids to find the birthday presents so that everyone is kept on their toes. A time limit of 20 or 30 minutes works well, especially for opening presents.

Now it’s time to get started.

Here’s an example of how it’s done:

The first clue is: It is your birthday and we have a lot of clues. The first one is found where you put your shoes. After reading the clue aloud, the kids would think through where they put their shoes and go to that location, such as by the front door.

Next up: At this point, you might be tempted to stop. Keep going and look in the place where at night you plop. Once again, read this clue aloud and send them on their way to find the next one, in this case their bedroom bed!

Remember to scatter the clues out so that no one finds all of the clues in one location. Kids follow each clue to find a new gift. Travel from the washing machine, to the play room, utensil drawer, bedroom and more.

Each at home scavenger hunt clue should lead to another in a fun, exciting game of ‘hot and cold’ so that the kids are searching all over your home for clues.

At the last clue is a great place to have the goodie bags for all of the kids. When the clue searching is done, the birthday scavenger hunt gets really fun because it’s time for gifts and cake! Have the kids gather around the table and enjoy their hard work with ice cream, treats at each spot, and lots of cake!

There are so many ways to celebrate a child’s birthday, but this Birthday Scavenger Hunt is such a creative and memorable idea that your birthday child will love. Planning this for your kid’s next birthday celebration could be just what you need to make sure everyone has a blast! Have fun and enjoy your child’s big day.

Fun Dinner Conversation Starters for Families

Ready for meaningful mealtime conversation? These dinner conversation starters are what you need! Download and print 65+ engaging topics and questions that are a perfect fit for connection at the dinner table. Set includes blank cards to add your own relevant questions.

Dinnertime is a valuable time of the day to connect as a family. It’s a time to share how your day went, to catch up on news, and to enjoy each other’s company. Dinnertime conversation starters are a great resource to keep the conversation flowing and to prevent awkward silences.

Coming up with topics of conversation can be tough, especially for kids. Often small talk occurs but we don’t get to the root of who our child is. We miss this occasion and before we know it days have turned to years and we are waving good-bye in the review mirror as they drive off to college.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of family dinner conversation starters that will help get the conversation flowing around the table. Turn regular family dinners into a favorite family activity.

Why are Family Dinner Conversation Starters Important?

Family dinner conversation starters are important because they help families connect with each other. They provide a way to share news, catch up on what’s going on in each other’s lives, and enjoy each other’s company.

In addition, family dinner conversation starters can help prevent awkward silences and to encourage friendly talks about important topics and lighthearted conversations that make a big impact on family bonds.

How to Use Family Dinner Conversation Starters

There are many ways to use family dinner conversation starters. They can be used as icebreakers to get the conversation started, or they can be used to keep the conversation going if it starts to lull. The important thing is to find a way to use them that works for your family.

Some families like to go around the table and have each person share one thing about their day. Others like to pick one conversation starter and discuss it as a family. And still others like to use conversation starters as a way to get to know new family members or friends.

Simply print and cut the cards. Add them to a bowl and use as you’d like for a routine dinnertime. You could also make a conversation starter jar. Fold the cards, insert in the mason jar and keep it lidded on the dinning table.

Alternatively, get creative with how you use these cards. Is it a holiday or special time of year? Incorporate the holiday into how you use the conversations. For example, during Easter put a different conversation card in plastic Easter eggs. Put all the eggs in an Easter basket in the center of the table. During the lent season, a family member can draw and an Easter Egg and you can go over different dinner questions during the spring season.

What are Some Good Family Dinner Conversation Starters?

How many times do you use the question “How was your day today?” in a year? For me, I use it daily and often forget to use my pocket full of reliable conversation starters for kids. While it’s great to know about their day, go deeper than asking such a generic question.

Some good family dinner conversation starters include:

Did anything interesting happen at school/work?
What are you looking forward to this weekend?
What was your favorite part of the day?
What are you looking forward to tomorrow?
What was the best thing that happened to you today?
Tell me about your friends.
Who do you admire most and why?
What was the best thing about your day?
What do you like the most about the person sitting to your left?
What is the funniest thing that happened to you this year?
If you could turn someone nice – who would it be?
How would your pet describe you?
What is your favorite family tradition and why?
If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?

These including funny conversation starters but also deeper conversation starters where you really dig into your child and spouse’s heart. What are are their fears, hopes, desires, dreams?

Dinner Conversation Starters Printable

Erase the awkward silence and create a memory your kids will pass on to their kids. To help get the chatter going, we’ve designed a easy to use printable that you can print out, cut apart, and leave on the table for family dinners.

There are 69 conversation starters and once you use them all, you can go back through the cards- the answers will change over time and depending on who is answering the question. For example, “What was your last thought before going to sleep last night?”

These helpful cards help your family get deep with these discussion starters that are great for both kids and adults. In this Family Conversation Starter Cards Printable PDF Set, there are 69 convo starters and a blank page of 24 so you can add your own questions. Print the blank page as many times as you’d like to create personalized starters for your family or the time of year.

Make time for people who make time and learn more about friends and family at dinner time! Pull out some of the cards and use when hosting a dinner party, for Thanksgiving dinner or even Christmas dinner party. A good friend and party guests might enjoy reliving their earliest memory, dream job, favorite holiday, biggest regret, most desired superpower or favorite movie. They also make great conversation ice breakers for adults and kids alike. It’s the perfect time to use the blank cards to add topics and questions that are a fit for those individuals you are hosting. It’s sure to bring the laughter.

How to Throw an Epic Spa Party

First, you’ll need some spa party decorations. This printable spa party set is a complete package with everything from spa party invitations to cupcake toppers, signs, water bottle labels, favor box labels, and more. It’s got everything you need to pull your spa-themed birthday together. | Printable Studio 505

Spa Birthday Party Foods

You can’t have a birthday party without a spectacular birthday cake. This spa cake looks too pretty to eat but sounds too delicious to pass up. On the inside, the cake is made up of vanilla cake, graham cracker crust, and strawberry cheesecake filling. A graham cracker crust buttercream frosting tops the cake. It’s decorated with fondant pieces made to look like nail polish, makeup palettes, a sleep mask, and other spa goodies. | Saving Cakes

Opt for spa-themed cupcakes if you don’t want to fuss with a complicated layer cake. Vanilla cupcakes are filled with raspberry jam and topped with a fresh raspberry frosting. The sleep mask is made out of royal icing, and a fresh raspberry tops each one. They’re so simple and pretty. You could even use this spa party food as spa party favors to go with a fun eye mask. | Posh Little Designs

Looking for an easy DIY cake? Try this floral wreath cake made with gummy candies. You can make your own simple cake any flavor you’d like and top it with vanilla frosting. Use different varieties of gummy candies to create a pretty floral wreath around the top. The calm, relaxing colors and flowery vibe fit in nicely with the spa theme. | Handmade Charlotte

Any spa knows the importance of adequate hydration. Make your at-home spa the best in town by whipping up some citrus bliss infused water. Even kids who don’t normally enjoy water will gulp down this pretty and refreshing drink filled with orange, lemon, and lime slices. | Simply Stacie

Instead of heavy foods, opt for light and healthy options for spa party food. This tropical charcuterie board, for example, is an excellent choice. Fresh and dried fruits, nuts, salty snacks, and some meat and fish will go well with your spa getaway theme. You can look at more snack board ideas for your gathering. | Gennifer Rose

Keep things simple and healthy with veggies and hummus in individual cups. There’s no chopping, measuring, or worrying about guests scooping too much of the dip onto their plates. These are perfectly sized for your guests to grab and enjoy as they mingle. You may also want to try this idea with small fruit skewers and fruit dip. | About a Mom

A fruit tray platter is a welcome addition to any party. It’s colorful, flavorful, and a tasty sweet option to have on hand for those who don’t want to indulge in cake or perhaps have gluten allergies. This beautiful spread includes a colorful array of berries, melon, citrus fruits, bananas, and yogurt dip. | Recipes From a Pantry

Make some spa-licious avocado guacamole to serve with chips or crackers. Use homemade or store-bought guac and add red pepper lips, cucumber slices eyes, and a lettuce spa cap. | Chickabug

Spa Birthday Party Games and Activities

Keep it low-cost with some fun spa party activities and games. These fun things to do at a spa party are easy to download and print. They include a supply list and activity game directions so that you are organized and know exactly what to do! Get your spa party games printable here.

Get the girls giggling with this fun spin the bottle nail polish game. Choose 10 different nail polish colors to place around the board. Whichever color it lands on, that’s the color the girl has to use for her manicure and pedicure. | One Creative Mommy

Buy inexpensive flip-flops and stick-on gems to make DIY spa shoes that sparkle! The girls will have fun making their own fancy spa shoes to wear to show off their pedicures later. The personalized robes are a fantastic idea, too. | See Vanessa Craft

Set up a hair station so each girl can try out a brand-new ‘do. Provide curling wands, curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers to achieve the desired look. An adult or older teen will need to use the heat styling tools. A braiding station is a viable alternative if you don’t want to use heated tools. | Meaningful Mama

Indulge in some cucumber masks with the girls! Slather on your favorite DIY recipe or use those handy dandy face masks from the store. Add cucumbers slices to the eyes to reduce puffiness and feel like you’re really at the spa. | Project Nursery

Spa Birthday Party Favors and Gifts

Whip up some homemade bath bombs for kids with a surprise inside. Choose your favorite essential oils to add to them—our favorites are lavender, roman chamomile, or ylang ylang. You can put magic grow animal pills inside to make bath time a blast for your guests. | Frugal Coupon Living

Go wild with color with this gorgeous gift of rainbow bath salts. You’ll use mica powder to dye Epsom salts first. Add your favorite essential oils to each color, and then layer them into small jars once they’re dry. | Juggling Act Mama

Give each girl a mani-pedi in a jar for the ultimate spa experience. Have some older kids around to help give each kid a manicure and pedicure, or hire someone to help you out for a few hours. They’ll love having their own kits with nail files, toe seperators, and nail polish to take home to keep their nails looking gorgeous. | Frugal Coupon Living

Looking for an affordable spa gift basket idea? Here’s one using only items from the Dollar Tree. Each basket costs around $10 to make and will give each recipient a basket, bath bombs, a candle, headband, body wash, loofah, body scrub, loofah, and more. You can get a lot of bang for your buck at Dollar Tree. | Savvy Honey

Prep small jars with a homemade sugar scrub to send home with your party guests. We have a simple recipe using sugar, sweet almond oil, castile soap, and your favorite essential oils. | Frugal Coupon Living

You’ll want to make extra jars of this unicorn body butter so you can keep some for yourself. Use shea butter coconut oil, and essential oils to create a rich, creamy moisturizer all the girls will love. The combination of ylang ylang, orange, and lemon essential oils is refreshing and smells fantastic. | Crayons and Cravings

Make this lavender milk bath for the ultimate in relaxation. This recipe only takes five minutes to make, so it’s the perfect spa party favor. The soothing milk bath hydrates skin, and the lavender adds a calming effect. | Crafts by Amanda

Using a paint brush is fun for adding a face mask during DIY facials. Have bowls and brushes to add the mask to your face. As the girls relax, perhaps a nice shoulder massage using lotion would top a wonderful spa day at home. Be sure to have a headband, washcloth/towels and warm water for an easy wipe off.
