Planning a baby shower and want to keep your guests entertained from start to finish? You’re in the right place.
Games are the secret sauce that keeps everyone laughing, mingling, and making memories. Whether you're throwing a cosy backyard BabyQ or a glitzy pink-and-gold bash, these baby shower games are perfect for all vibes and venues.
Let’s dive into the top 10 baby shower games that are easy to set up, fun to play, and guaranteed to bring the giggles.
1. Baby Bingo
Create custom bingo cards with baby-related items like diapers, bottles, or pacifiers. As the parent-to-be opens gifts, guests check off items on their cards. First to get a line wins!
2. Don’t Say “Baby”
Hand each guest a peg or bracelet at the start of the shower. The rule? If they hear someone say “baby,” they can snatch that person's peg. The guest with the most pegs at the end wins a prize.
3. Guess the Baby Food
Buy a selection of baby food jars, remove the labels, and have guests guess the flavours. Sweet potatoes or pureed peas? You’ll find out who has the most adventurous palate.
4. The Baby Bucket List
Set up a station with note cards and pens. Ask guests to jot down their best parenting advice or wishes for the baby. It’s sentimental, sweet, and makes a lovely keepsake.
5. Who Knows Mummy Best?
Create a quiz about the mum-to-be with fun questions like “What’s her weirdest craving?” or “What was her first baby name pick?” The person with the most correct answers scores a prize.
6. Feed the Baby (Blindfolded)
Pair guests up. One is blindfolded and must spoon-feed applesauce to their partner. It’s messy, hilarious, and perfect for photo ops.
7. Name That Tune: Lullaby Edition
Play snippets of classic lullabies or baby-themed songs and see who can name them the fastest. Great for music lovers and a fun twist on a traditional quiz.
8. Diaper Notes
Set up a table with nappies and markers. Guests can write funny or encouraging notes for those middle-of-the-night changes. New parents will love the surprise messages later on.
9. Baby Charades
Act out baby-related scenarios or words (like "changing a diaper" or "first steps") without speaking. It’s guaranteed to get everyone laughing.
10. Guess the Due Date
Let guests write down their predictions for baby’s arrival. You can even create a little prize for the closest guess after baby is born!
