Baby Shower Games: Fun and Budget-Friendly
Planning a baby shower and unsure which games will entertain your guests without breaking the bank? Here are some creative and inexpensive game ideas perfect for any baby shower theme.
Icebreaker Games
These games help guests get to know each other while having fun.
- Who Am I, Baby Edition: Give each guest a piece of paper with a famous mother or cartoon character's name. Without looking, they tape it to their forehead and guess their identity through others’ reactions.
- Who’s That Baby?: Before the party, collect baby photos of guests. During the shower, match each baby picture to the correct adult. The person with the most correct matches wins.
- Don’t Say It: Provide guests with a pacifier on a ribbon to wear. If they say “baby” during the party, others can take their pacifier. The guest with the most pacifiers at the end wins.
Word Games
- Baby Boggle: Create a sentence about the baby and mother-to-be. Guests form as many baby-related words as possible in three minutes. After comparing lists, the person with the most unique words wins. Try using phrases like "A new [last name] is joining us soon!"
- Advice Poem: Guests write a line of advice for the new mom. Fold each line so only the last is visible, continuing this with each guest. Read the completed poem aloud for laughs and wisdom.
- Time Capsule: Have guests write notes to the baby, then seal them in a time capsule for the child's fifteenth birthday.
Gift-Inspired Games
If guests bring gifts, incorporate them into a game.
- Baby Box: Guests bring small items, like rattles, which are placed in a box with a small opening. Without looking, participants feel and guess the items. The person with the most correct guesses wins.
Active Games
These will get everyone moving.
- Diaper Tower: Guests stack diapers into a tower. The tallest stable structure wins, and the mom-to-be keeps the diapers.
- Tree Planting: Celebrate by planting a tree in honor of the baby. Perfect if the family has a new home. Get input on the type of tree from the mom-to-be.
- Dirty Diapers: Melt different chocolate bars into diapers. Guests smell them to guess the type of candy. The person with the most correct answers wins.
Other Fun Games
- Are You Hungry?: Use unlabeled baby food jars. Guests guess the contents just by looking. The most accurate wins.
- Pacifier Pass: Arrange guests in a circle and give each a pen or pencil to hold in their mouth. Pass a pacifier around the circle without using hands. If someone drops it, they’re out. The last standing wins.
- Bottle Race: Time guests drinking juice from a baby bottle. Fastest to finish wins. Use non-staining juices like white grape.
Prizes for Winners
Offer small, inexpensive prizes like shower gels or coffee. Alternatively, award points for each game (100 for the winner, 90 for the runner-up, etc.). The overall winner might take home a nicer prize, such as a restaurant gift certificate.
While you can buy baby shower games from party stores, custom games tailored to the mother-to-be are often more memorable. Games that provide baby supplies as prizes are also appreciated. For example, organize a diaper raffle with guests bringing packs of diapers to enter. The prize could be a gift basket filled with items like wine, pasta, and cookies, or a spa or restaurant gift certificate. Keeping the party fun and the new mom happy doesn't have to cost a fortune!
