New twist on old games

This is a little twist on an old baby shower game. Have the guest cut a piece of string to their preference. In the old game the one that had the piece closest to the mother's belly size one the game. The twist is, when it's time to give the winner their prize, you announce that the winner will be the one with the longest or shortest piece of string. Another game to switch around is take a platter and place baby items or kitchen items or whatever on it, then call "Sue" to come on out (she'll be carrying the platter out). She'll walk around the room giving everyone a chance to look at the platter, but don't say anything about the platter, just let everyone think they'll have to remember everything on it. Then tell "Sue" to go into another room, and ask everyone what "Sue" was wearing and what color.
