If you are hosting a baby shower and would like to include a game that varies from the traditional route, The Diaper Baker has a great alternative. Start out by purchasing a piggy bank. You can purhcase one in pink or blue if the gender is known, or you can opt for a neutral piggy bank. If you want to spice it up a bit, you can personalize the piggy bank with the new baby's name, if known. Purchase a calendar, or print one off of your home computer. Place the piggy bank and the calendar on the gift table. Have each guest guess the baby's birth date by writing their name in a date box on the calendar. For each guess, have the guest place one dollar in the piggy bank. Guests can guess as many dates as they wish, however, each guest requires one dollar to go into the piggy bank.

Purchase a special gift or a gift card to award to the guest who guessed the exact or closest date to the actual birth date. Since you will not be giving out the prize at the baby shower, be sure to get the addresses of each guest so that you can mail out or deliver the prize once the baby is born.

Guests will enjoy this game and the expectant mommy will take home a piggy bank full of baby's first savings!
