gets a piece of paper and has to match the adult guest name with the corresponding

Bottle Suckers | This
game is especially good when its just for the guys at a mixed Baby Shower Party!
Fill one 4 oz.baby bottle per person with water or juice. Time the suckers to
see who can finish the bottle the fastest. Its great watching grown men (or women)
suck from a baby bottle! For more fun, 'set up' one contestant (father-to-be?)
by using a teat with a very small hole or even seal one bottle completely. Return
