If you’re hosting a baby shower during the month of October, this game might just be the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. (Even if you don’t host in the month of October, this game is just downright hilarious.) Before the shower, find two types of photos: photos of horror movie scream queens in action and photos of moms in labor. Guests then have to guess whether each photo is of a scream queen or of a mom giving birth. This game is ideal for lovers of horror films or anyone with a great sense of humor.

Guess Who Said It
Similar to the Mommy or Daddy game, this baby shower game asks guests to answer questions and try and guess if the answer applies to the mom or dad — but in this game, the parents-to-be answer the questions ahead of time. For example, ask both parents, “Who will be the strictest parent?” Then when you ask the shower guests, they’ll have to guess which one claimed they’d be the strictest parent.
Candy in a Bottle
This next game is fun and helps guests get into the baby shower spirit ahead of the big day. Get a container — we recommend a large, glass jar or a baby bottle — and fill it with candy. Take a photo (or a video) and send it to shower guests. Tell your guests to guess the amount of candy in the container. The person whose guess is closest to the actual amount of candy in the container wins! (Bonus: think of all the candy you get to eat after the baby shower!)
Baby Shower Memory Game
This baby shower activity has the added benefit of exercising the mind! To play the Baby Shower Memory Game, gather 15-20 baby-related items ahead of time and place them in a box or on a large tray. We recommend getting things like diapers, onesies, stuffed animals, diaper pins, baby wipes, pacifiers, bibs — you get the picture. On the day of the shower, gather your guests and place the items in a spot where everyone can see. Give your guests about two minutes to inspect the collection, and then cover it with a blanket. Hand out pencils and paper, and tell your guests to write down as many items as they can remember before time runs out. Whoever remembers the most items wins! Check out this post for a comprehensive list of item suggestions and more notes on how to play.
Baby Shower Scattergories
Baby Shower Scattergories is a great shower game option whether you’re hosting a traditional baby shower or a virtual baby shower. In this game, guests are given a letter and must name as many things in various categories (a baby garment, jarred baby food, a favorite baby toy, etc.) that begin with that letter. The rounds are timed, and it’s always a hoot to see what people come up with when under pressure. Here is a full rundown of the rules plus a FREE Baby Shower Scattergories printable.
Labor or Porn
Your guests will giggle with this fun baby shower game that’s a lot of fun and a little bit naughty. The labor or porn baby shower game is great for a co-ed baby shower. Guests will look at photos of a woman’s face and decide if she’s giving birth or performing in porn.
This game is not as easy as you’d think. Some facial expressions are tough to judge. Have fun guessing as a group. You might be surprised by who gets the most answers right.
