Baby shower games often get a bad rap — but the right ones actually get everyone laughing and create memories. Here are 10 ideas that actually work.
1. Baby Guessing Pool (Best One)
Use Baby Bids to run a full guessing pool — sex, birth date, weight, length, eye color, and hair color. Share the link before the shower so remote guests can play too. The winner gets bragging rights when baby arrives!
2. Baby Bingo
Make bingo cards with common gift items. Guests mark squares as gifts are opened. First to get five in a row wins.
3. Don't Say "Baby"
Each guest gets a diaper pin when they arrive. If you catch someone saying "baby," you take their pin. Most pins at the end wins.
4. Baby Food Taste Test
Remove labels from jars of baby food. Guests try to identify flavors while blindfolded. Harder than it sounds.
5. Guess the Baby Photo
Have guests bring baby photos of themselves. Display them on a board and guess who's who.
6. Baby Word Scramble
Create a list of baby-related words with letters scrambled. Fastest to unscramble all wins.
7. How Big Is the Belly?
Guests cut a piece of string to match what they think the mom-to-be's belly circumference is. Closest wins.
8. Baby Sketch
Guests draw a baby (without looking at their paper). Funniest drawing wins.
9. Price Is Right — Baby Edition
Guess the retail price of common baby products. Closest without going over wins each round.
10. Advice Cards
Not a competitive game, but have guests fill out advice cards for the new parents. These become a keepsake.
