10 Baby Shower Games That Will Make Your Baby Shower Memorable
Are you throwing a baby shower but need ideas for unique games? A baby shower is a celebration of pregnancy and the joy of a new baby, so it should be a fun day filled with laughter and great friends.
If you want to invite more than 20 guests, consider renting a small wedding venue in Los Angeles where you can play all the games you want and still have space to mingle and move around.
Read on to discover 10 unique, fun, and hilarious baby shower games that’ll make the guests and mama-to-be laugh their hearts out.
1. Blindfolded Diaper Change
Blindfolded diaper change is a classic baby shower game that’s guaranteed to get the party started. You’ll need enough blindfolds for all the guests, dolls, and a pack of diapers.
How to play:
Hand each guest a blindfold, a diaper, and a doll. They should change the diaper on the doll before the timer is up in order to win. The fastest diaper changer wins.
2. The Price Is Right – Baby Edition
If you’ve ever watched ‘The Price Is Right’, you know how to play this game, except your guests will have to guess the prices of baby products.
How to play:
Have your event venue set up a separate table, where you can put different baby items and products.
. Have the guests write down their guesses on a piece of paper. Whoever guesses the exact (or close to the exact) prices wins.
To make the game even more challenging, have the guests guess the prices from the year the mom-to-be was born in.
3. Old Wives Tales Gender Prediction
Before there were ultrasounds, people had to guess their baby gender in their own way. Today, these methods are considered old wives tales, but some of them are pretty accurate still.
How to play:
On a piece of paper, write down a few gender prediction methods and have each guest ask the mom-to-be a question. For example, what is the mama craving – sweet or salty foods? Is she carrying high or low? Does she have morning sickness? What’s the baby’s heartbeat?
4. Guess the Cravings
Pregnancy comes with cravings, so why not use them to play a fun baby shower game? You need a piece of paper and a pen for this one.
How to play:
The mom-to-be is the main player and she gets to write down a few of the strangest cravings she’s had. She then has to explain the cravings to the guests without saying the actual craving. Whoever guesses the most cravings, wins.
5. Pin the Pacifier on the Baby
If you’ve ever played “Pin the Tail on the Donkey’, you’ll know how to play this game as well. You’ll need a baby poster or drawing, blindfolds, and a paper pacifier with a pin on it. Ask your event planner where to set up to make sure there’s enough space for the game.
How to play:
Each guest is blindfolded and the others turn them around in circles. The guest then tries to find the baby poster and pin the pacifier as close to the mouth as possible.
6. Guess the Baby Items
A new baby needs a whole lot of items, so why not make a fun game out of this? You’ll need a diaper bag and a few baby items to fill it with.
How to play:
For this baby shower game, get a bunch of baby items like pacifiers, baby bottles, diapers, bibs, wipes, toys, and cream. Hand the bag to the guest and have them guess what’s inside by just touching the items without looking. The person with the most guesses wins.
7. Baby Word Search
Baby word search is the perfect chill-out game for the guests who prefer to sit down or as a fun activity to do while the mom-to-be opens gifts. For this game, you’ll need to print out a copy of baby word search for each guest.
How to play:
Hand a copy of the word search and a pen to each guest. Set a timer and start the game. The person who finds the most words the fastest wins.
8. Things You Can’t Do During Pregnancy
There are hundreds of things pregnant women can’t do during pregnancy: from eating sushi and drinking alcohol to hair dye and spray tan. It’s even more fun to have the guests guess these things and see what they come up with.
How to play:
For this game, you need a piece of paper and a pen for each guest. Set a timer and have guests write down all the things they think the mom-to-be can’t do during pregnancy. When the timer goes off, the pregnant mom will go through the answers and see who had the most guesses.
9. Baby’s First Portrait
One of the funniest games to play at a baby shower is ‘Baby’s First Portrait’. All you need is a piece of paper or a notebook and a pen or pencil.
How to play:
Each guest will get a notebook and a pen and they’ll have to try and draw a baby while holding the notebook on their forehead. Everyone will love this game and there will be some seriously hilarious baby portraits for the mom to keep, making the event a success.
10. Guess the Baby Food
‘Guess the baby food’ is great for guests who prefer to sit down and play games rather than mingle. It’s an affordable game, too – all you need is 10 items of baby food.
How to play:
The guests are blindfolded and you hand each guest a spoonful of different baby food to guess what it is. The person with the most guesses wins. To make the game even more fun, throw in some bland baby food in there to see their reaction.
