Make the list extensive so as to cover all of the bases and allow for the guests to get as detailed as possible. Then during the baby shower give each guest a piece of paper and pen and have them write down their answers to the same questions.

After she had gone into the other room ask the guests to write down a detailed description of what she was wearing. Watch everyone's face twist as they try to remember what the mother to be was wearing.

Yum Yum Baby Diaper Race
The first thing I think of with a baby diaper is yum, yum. Yum yum! A baby shower diaper race will surely get your guests laughing. You will need one baby diaper per shower guest and some chocolate or rocky road ice cream. The ice cream is going to be eaten by the guests so make sure it is a flavor they like. You may want to have a couple of flavors on hand just in case. Before your shower guests arrive, place one scoop of ice cream into the center of each baby diaper. Close the baby diaper neatly and store in the freezer. When the baby shower guests arrive have them sit at the table and place a baby diaper in front of each shower guest. Have the shower guests open their baby diapers at the same time. Tell them to put their hands behind their backs and see who can eat the ice cream first. Make sure you take lots of incriminating pictures of this game for no one will ever believe that your guests ate out of a diaper. When they have finished the ice cream they will need to stand up and raise their hand. The one who finishes first is the winner. Give the winner a prize for winning such a messy game. Like maybe a pack of diaper wipes a s a prize for their efforts and so they can clean up. You'll want to take pictures of the silly sight.
