Yesterday I went to the Ries baby shower. It was held at ComedySportz and was a nice mix of improvisers and regular people. There were nice foodstuff for people to nibble on and some cool activities to keep people occupied. One was decorating onesie jumpers with puffy paint. Another one was cutting up headshot photos of the parents-to-be and create what-will-their-baby-look-like images. The results in both of these arts and crafts activities were pretty amazing. Before the opening of the presents, the Rieses deemed one of each of these things the "winner" and they got a small prize.
Another game played throughout the baby shower was this Words-You-Cannot-Say game. When we got to the shower we were all given one necklace with a pacifier on the end. We were also given a small slip of paper that told us the list of words we could not say during the shower. If someone slipped up and said one of the words then whoever heard them say it could take their pacifier. The person with the most pacifiers before the opening of the gifts would get a prize.
The words were: baby, boy, girl, Dave, Jen, pregnant, belly, improv, show.
I won the Pacifier Game with 6 pacifiers (next closest was 4) and got a $10 iTunes giftcard.
Even if I hadn't won anything, I still would have said I had a really good time at the shower. But winning something made it extra nice.
