I Spy
The classic childhood game I Spy can easily be adapted to a fun baby shower game that will help mom capture candid moments she otherwise may have missed while enjoying her special day. Before the baby shower, think of some moments guests are likely to witness: mom rubbing her belly, hugging her mom, or gushing over a cute onesie. Write the prompts down and pass them out to guests. You can either give each guest a disposable camera or encourage them to snap photos on their cell phones whenever they spot the mom-to-be doing one of the action items you listed. (Tip: come up with a clever hashtag that guests can use to share on social media. That way, the mom-to-be can easily browse through the hashtag and see what her guests caught on camera!)
Famous Mothers
The Famous Mothers baby shower game is sure to delight everyone, especially your pop culture-loving guests. Each guest is assigned a famous mother (examples: Octomom, Reese Witherspoon, Princess Diana, etc.). When it’s their turn, they stand up and have other guests ask “yes” or “no” questions, which they then answer. The first person to guess the famous mom wins that round! Your virtual guests can also join in on the fun by accessing the games section on your WebBabyShower page. Here are the full rules of the game.
Don’t say “Baby”
This might be one of the more challenging baby shower games because it requires strategy and concentration! The Don’t Say “Baby” Game is simple: At the beginning of the baby shower, hand out safety pins or clothespins to each guest and instruct them to fasten the pin to their clothes. Tell them that they can’t say the word “baby.” If someone catches them saying the word, they can steal that person’s pin! The person with the most pins at the end of the game wins. This game can be tricky, but don’t worry — we’ve got some tips on how to win all the pins during this fun baby shower game.
Famous Fathers
For a game that’s great for a co-ed baby shower, try Famous Fathers. In this fun baby shower trivia game, each guest is given a famous father (examples: Dan Conner, John Legend, Homer Simpson). When it’s their turn, they stand up and have other guests ask “yes” or “no” questions, which they then answer. The first person to guess the famous dad wins that round! Here is where you can get the full rules and more ideas for this fun trivia game.
Name that Baby Tune
How many notes will it take your baby shower guests to name that tune? This fun spin on a classic TV game show will have your guests humming along and tapping their toes. Before the shower, compile a playlist with songs with the word “baby” in the title. When it’s game time, play a snippet of the song. Guests will use their FREE printable WebBabyShower Name That Baby Tune template to guess the song. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins!
We compiled a Spotify playlist that you can use, or you can feel free to let your imagination run wild! (Tip: for a fun spin on this game, don’t limit the playlist to songs with just the word “baby” in the title but instead go for a baby/pregnancy/birth theme. Some fun alternative song ideas could be “Push It” by Salt-N-Pepa, “I’m Coming Out” by Diana Ross, or “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash.)
