One of the best parts of any baby shower are the baby shower games - guests love to interact and do crazy things that they wouldn't dream of doing in public!  Here are a couple of fun game ideas that incorporate your baby shower theme at the same time:

Bottles Up:  This unique shower game will have everyone rolling with laughter!  Each guest should have their own baby bottle filled with a beverage (juice, soda, etc).  Once you say "go", the guests need to chug their beverage as fast as they can - through the nipple!  The first one done with their drink is the winner.  You can purchase individual baby bottles from a store or order a six pack of bottles (as shown here) that are the perfect size for the bottles up game.

Baby Bottle Bowling: Set up 10 baby bottles just like bowling pins.  Each contestant gets 2 chances to knock down all the pins.  If someone knocks down all 10 pins, they earn a "bonus" roll.  Add up the total number of pins that each contestant knocks over and the person with the highest number wins.  Make the game more challenging by filling the bottles with liquid so they won't fall over as easily.

You can also fill up a large plastic baby bottle with jelly beans or M&M's, then have each person guess how many are in the bottle.  The person with the closest guess wins the treat!

Decorating for your bottle-themed shower can be lots of fun!  You can find bottle-themed tableware, balloons and baby shower favors that are both affordable and a perfect fit to your theme!

For your food table, you can purchase some inexpensive baby bottles at the nearest dollar store or discount center, then remove the nipple and fill each bottle with nuts, mints or candies so your guests can pour out as much as they want.

To decorate your guest tables, consider bottle-shaped baby shower candles like the ones pictured here.  You can either light the candles for some ambiance at your shower, or leave them packaged and let your guests know they can take one home.

A fun way to give motherly advice from guests who have "been there" is to create a tip jar for mom.  In this case a large plastic bottle is the perfect vessel to hold the tips.  Each guest can write their motherly advice/tip on a piece of paper and slip it into the bottle.  Then the host or guest of honor can transfer these tips into a keepsake album for future use.

A Baby Bottle theme is a great idea for your next baby shower!  Not only is it practical, but it's also a fun way to add variety to your decorating and games.  Especially if your guest of honor is a first-time mother, bottles will be something she will quickly become accustomed to - so you may as well give her some experience with them.

Starting with the baby shower invitations and finishing with your dessert, it's easy to incorporate bottles into every aspect of your shower.  Cut homemade invitations into the shape of a baby bottle before mailing; or roll up your invitations, stuff each one into a small baby bottle and hand deliver your "message in a bottle" invitations.

Bottles also make a great choice for shower favors.  The miniature baby bottle favors shown here are filled with bath salts for your guests.  You can also order bottle-shaped cookie favors for each guest to enjoy as a tasty alternative to cake, or you can present them with baby shower  cookie cutter favors so they can make the tasty treats at home!
