RP- need last minute help

I need some suggestions for baby shower games. As many of you know, I have planned my whole shower, but I totally forgot to plan games. I do have a couple little things I've found to use as prizes, but I have no idea about the games.
Help!! My shower is on Sunday. I need some quick suggestions of things I can get today because I have a family party tomorrow, not to mention I need to bake about 125 cookies.

Re: RP- need last minute help

how about, a work scramble with all baby items, or put baby items from the girls registry and have the guests guess the price?

Make a blank bingo board with little cute baby graphics on it. Have the guests fill it in with the gifts they think yo will get and as you open them they can check them off and call bingo when they win.

Give out cute little prizes. Dollar trees are good for prizes as well as AC Moore and Michael's because they have good dollar racks with things like small address books, note pads, blank note cards, etc.

Also pick up pink or blue toilet paper (if you know what you're having) and have people pull of as much as they think would wrap around your belly. At the end test them all out and whoever is closest wins a prize!

Some games we played at my party:

Baby food game-purchase 10 baby food jars, label them with numbers 1-10, make yourself an answer sheet, then remove all the labels. Guests have to guess what kind of food is in there without touching tasting etc. Person with most right gets a prize.

Fill a bottle with small candy, count how many in there, person who comes closest without going over wins prize.

My SIL purchased baby scratch off games, she got them at party store, person who scratches a winner gets a prize.

If you search the net, there are outlines for baby word puzzles games like word searches, unscramble to words. etc.

Oh yeah! we did that too~

My SIL also had me fill out this sheet that had questions on it like

WHo's eyes do you want baby to have?
who's nose, lips, brain, style, feet, smile, hair, etc.

She made a sheet to give to guests, they put their guesses in, then I gave them the answers with the sheet i already filled out.

I have a bunch of little word games you can put out for people to solve and then give a prize for who solves the most. It is really easy to do. I have them saved in a Micorsoft Word document and you can just print them out onto pink and blue paper, or Office Max has little baby feet paper which is cute. If you want, FM me your e-mail address and I will sent you the attachement.

Another game I played at a shower was "The Price is Right". They bought a bunch of baby items and the guests had to guess what the total price was of the items (shampoo, washcloths, soap, wipes, etc). Whoever came the closest, without going over, won.

Another cute (but a little gross) game was where they melted various candy bars in a diaper, and you had to guess what kind of candy it was.
