Baby shower games people actually enjoy
Good shower games are short, easy to join and don’t put anyone on the spot. Two or three is plenty.
Games that run themselves
- Guess the date and weight: a card at the door, a winner announced when the baby arrives.
- Advice cards: guests write one piece of advice or a wish for the baby. It becomes a keepsake.
- Baby photo match: guests bring their own baby photo and everyone guesses who’s who.
One game for the whole room
- Pick one group game, like a short trivia round about the parents-to-be, and keep it under 15 minutes.
- Have a small prize ready (a candle, a nice chocolate bar) so the winner gets a moment.
What to skip
- Anything that involves measuring the guest of honor or tasting mystery food. Ask her first if you’re unsure.
