I like the game of having people guess the name beforehand and then surprise them at the end by holding up a present with the name on it (or wooden blocks for the nursery!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-804273 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:29:12 +0000 tororojo 804273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this! I printed up cards with 10 first name choices and 10 middle name choices on each one and everyone got to circle their guesses. It was a good ice breaker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-803991 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:39:18 +0000 Boheme 803991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did this! I opened a gift from DH last - a monogrammed sleeper for LO to come home from the hospital in. We played a guessing game before that! It was a lot of fun and nobody realized my mom and sister already knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-803895 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:10:59 +0000 regberadaisy 803895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my friend made a name banner above the dessert table. I didn't really make a big deal about it but that sounds fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-803888 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:09:08 +0000 Chillybear 803888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just at a shower where they did this.... one of the games was guess the babys name and they gave the first initial at the end of the gift she opened her last one and it was wooden letters spelling out the name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788949 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:08:16 +0000 heffalump 788949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How fun! I love the word scramble idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788844 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:57:48 +0000 T.H.O.U. 788844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with just opening a present with the name on it last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788502 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:08:02 +0000 Smurfette 788502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you get a bib or burn cloth with the name on it. Then open that last? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788500 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:07:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 788500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: you could have your mom fake it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788480 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:05:27 +0000 deerylou 788480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: That is super cute. I would totally do a game, but I think MIL would be hurt if she realized my mom knew all along, and we refused to tell her when she asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788460 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:03:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 788460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this at my shower too! It was so fun and guests loved knowing the name early :) we did a scramble- about 10 letters hung on a banner and using those letters they came up with top 3 guesses. No body guessed it so I rearranged the letters to the correct name :) my sisters and mom knew the name so they didn't participate but it wasn't weird :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-reveal-at-baby-shower#post-788432 Thu, 16 May 2013 18:59:38 +0000 deerylou 788432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am thinking about potentially revealing DD's name at my baby shower this weekend, and am looking for fun and unique ways to do so.</p> <p>While a game would be awesome, a few guests (my mother, sister, and two best friends) already know the name, so it would be weird if they did not participate/had an obvious advantage.</p> <p>My DH will be coming at the end to help me open gifts, so I was thinking he could possibly bring a little something for me to open last? Maybe a balloon to blow up, with her name written on it?</p> <p>Any ideas would be appreciated! </p>
