Lets Make Your Baby Shower Filled with Smiles and Laughter
We came up with a list of potential classic and fun baby shower games that your guest would love. These tried-and-true games are always a hit at baby showers. They're easy to set up, require minimal materials, and are guaranteed to generate laughter and friendly competition.
1. Baby Bingo
Baby Bingo is a simple yet engaging game that gets everyone involved. Before the shower, create bingo cards with baby-related words or images (e.g., bottle, diaper, onesie, crib). As the mom-to-be opens her gifts, guests mark off the corresponding squares on their cards. The first person to get bingo wins a prize!
2. Who Knows Mommy Best?
Hand out a trivia-style questionnaire about the mom-to-be. Include questions like her weirdest pregnancy craving or favorite nursery item. The guest with the most right answers wins!
3. The Diaper Relay
Split into teams and see who can "diaper" a baby doll the fastest—blindfolded. All you need is some baby dolls, diapers, and a timer.
Tip: This works great in venues with open floor plans like ours!
4. Don't Say "Baby!"
This game is incredibly easy to play and keeps guests on their toes throughout the entire shower. Give each guest a clothespin or a small trinket upon arrival. The rule is simple: they can't say the word "baby." If someone hears another guest say "baby," they can take that person's clothespin. The guest with the most clothespins at the end of the shower wins!
5. Diaper Raffle
A diaper raffle is a win-win for both the guests and the mom-to-be. When sending out invitations, ask guests to bring a pack of diapers for a chance to win a prize. For every pack of diapers they bring, they get a raffle ticket. This helps the parents stock up on an essential item, and the guests have a chance to win something fun. Plus, you can hold the raffle drawing at The Valentine—we've got space!
6. The Price Is Right: Baby Edition
Gather several baby-related items (e.g., diapers, wipes, baby food, lotion) and display them. Guests have to guess the price of each item, and the person who guesses the closest to the actual total price without going over wins the game.
7. Baby Food Guessing Game
This game is guaranteed to elicit some funny faces! Blindfold your guests and have them taste different flavors of baby food. They have to guess the flavor of each jar. It's harder than it sounds!
8. "Dirty Diaper" Game
Melt different types of chocolate candy bars into diapers and have guests guess which candy bar is in each diaper. This game is sure to get some laughs and is a memorable (albeit slightly gross) activity.
9. Baby Name Race
Challenge guests to write down as many baby names as they can think of, starting with each letter of the alphabet, within a set time limit. The person with the most names wins.
10. Baby Predictions and Advice
Set up a station where guests can write down their predictions for the baby (e.g., date of birth, weight, hair color) and offer advice for the new parents. This can be a heartwarming and sentimental activity that the parents will cherish for years to come. You can provide elegant stationery and pens at The Valentine to enhance this activity.
Tips for Choosing the Right Baby Shower Games
Choosing the right baby shower games can make all the difference in the success of your event. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Consider the mom-to-be's personality: Choose games that align with her interests and preferences. If she's not a fan of competitive games, opt for more relaxed and collaborative activities.
Think about your guests: Consider the age range and personalities of your guests when selecting games. Choose activities that everyone can participate in and enjoy.
Keep it simple: Avoid games that are too complicated or require a lot of explanation. The goal is to have fun, not to confuse your guests.
Offer a variety of games: Provide a mix of classic and creative games to cater to different tastes.
Don't forget the prizes: Have a selection of fun and desirable prizes for the winners of each game.
How to Incorporate Your Theme into the Games
If you're planning a themed baby shower, be sure to incorporate your theme into the games. This adds an extra layer of fun and cohesiveness to your event. For example, if you're having a nautical-themed shower, you could play "Ahoy, It's a Boy!" bingo or have guests guess the names of different types of sea creatures.
Baby Shower Game Prize Ideas
No baby shower game is complete without prizes! Here are some creative and budget-friendly prize ideas to consider:
Gift cards to popular retailers (e.g., Amazon, Target)
Bath and body products
Candles or aromatherapy diffusers
Gourmet snacks or treats
Small plants or succulents
Fun baby-related items (e.g., baby socks, pacifiers, teething toys)
