Once you have sorted out the <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/baby-shower-invitations\/\">baby shower invitations<\/a> and you are looking for baby shower ideas, we can help. Today we\u2019ve got two fun baby shower games ideas you can set up in an afternoon using materials you probably already have at home. Too easy! If you stick around to the end, we\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/blog\/7-awesome-tips-hosting-bumper-baby-shower\/\">got some other great baby shower activities<\/a> that will be fun for even the most shower-averse guest.\n<h3 style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Baby Predictions<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s all about the baby, of course, and everyone is thinking about what the new arrival will be like. Get your guests to write down their predictions about the baby, but give them some prompts to help them think beyond \u201cUh&#8230;it will look like a baby\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your prompts might include:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Name<\/li>\n \t<li>Gender (if you haven\u2019t told!)<\/li>\n \t<li>Date and time of birth<\/li>\n \t<li>Weight<\/li>\n \t<li>Length<\/li>\n \t<li>Eye colour<\/li>\n \t<li>Hair colour<\/li>\n \t<li>Looks more like Mum or Dad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHave all your guests fill out their predictions and then file them away until after the birth. You might offer a prize to the best prediction, to be redeemed at a later date, or you might gather predictions just for fun. Put it all on pretty paper with a gorgeous design and you\u2019ve got the perfect mementoes to include in a scrapbook for baby to read as they get older.<\/p>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6441 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1.jpg\" alt=\"DIY invitations\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6442 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Invitations Card\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3>Baby Shower Bingo<\/h3>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/3.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6443\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Baby Shower Ideas\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/3-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\n\n<p>Gift-unwrapping time can is one of those baby shower ideas that polarises people. Some people love cooing over cute onesies, others don\u2019t. Many guests really want to see the mama-to-be open the gift they so carefully chose, but many hosts worry that their guests will get bored sitting through the unwrapping of all the other gifts. This can be combatted with a fun game activity like baby shower bingo, and by keeping things informal so people can wander around and chat if they need a break from the gift-giving. Of course, with bingo, if they take a break, they risk losing some vital squares on the board ;)<\/p>\n\n<p>The way this works is pretty straightforward. Create a bingo card that lists some of the most common baby shower gifts. Our list includes items such as:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Bib<\/li>\n \t<li>Socks<\/li>\n \t<li>Crib sheet<\/li>\n \t<li>Car seat<\/li>\n \t<li>Bottle<\/li>\n \t<li>Book<\/li>\n \t<li>Bouncer<\/li>\n \t<li>Onesie<\/li>\n \t<li>Nappies\/Diapers<\/li>\n \t<li>Activity toy<\/li>\n \t<li>Wipe warmer<\/li>\n \t<li>Burp cloth<\/li>\n \t<li>Changing pad<\/li>\n \t<li>Baby monitor<\/li>\n \t<li>Baby sling<\/li>\n \t<li>Swing<\/li>\n \t<li>Stuffed toy<\/li>\n \t<li>Sippy cup<\/li>\n \t<li>Nappy bag<\/li>\n \t<li>High chair<\/li>\n \t<li>Blanket<\/li>\n \t<li>Stroller<\/li>\n \t<li>Dummy\/Pacifier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMake sure you include plenty of things that you will definitely receive, or else the game will be a little less fun, and try not to include too many big-ticket items in case any guests think you\u2019re disappointed by their more modest offerings.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first guest to get five squares in a row wins! The whole game will be even more fun if you have a great prize lined up and let everyone know ahead of time so there is a competitive edge to the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/4.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6444 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/4.jpg\" alt=\"set of baby shower invitations\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/4.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/5.jpg\" rel='prettyPhoto'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6445 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/5.jpg\" alt=\"baby shower invitations\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/5.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/5-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3>Other cringe-free baby shower games ideas<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019re still after baby shower ideas that don\u2019t make you cringe, here are some suggestions:\n\n<strong>Craft:<\/strong>\n\n<p>You might let guests create custom onesies with fabric paint and patches, or work on painting or collaging decorations for the nursery (maybe wooden letters, photo frames or small figurines). This gives guests something fun to do with their hands while they chat, gives the baby some customised swag, and will appeal to those guests who aren\u2019t big on baby shower party games.<\/p>\n\n<strong>Word Games:<\/strong>\n\n<p>Baby shower word games are easy to put together, since you just have to relate the game back to baby-themed words. The type of game is entirely up to you, but we\u2019re thinking word searches, crosswords and word scrambles. Fun and baby-centred, but not in your face.<\/p>\n\n<strong>Alphabet Book:<\/strong>\n\n<p>Allocate your baby shower guests a letter or two that have been cut out from card, and have them decorate them with pencils, glitter, scrapbooking materials and other fun crafty things. After the shower, collect all the letters into a fun, personalised book of ABCs for the baby. If you\u2019ve got a lot of guests, make one with numbers to match.<\/p>\n\n<strong>Baby Guessing Game:<\/strong>\n\n<p>Ask all your guests to bring a picture of themselves as a baby, and stick them on a wall or set them out on a table. Over the course of the baby shower, everyone can try to work out which guest is pictured in each image. As with any baby shower game or activity, good prizes are a must!<\/p>\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re strict on choosing fun baby shower games that won\u2019t make you cringe, or you\u2019re embracing the cringe and just looking for other activities to fill out the day, these are some out-of-the-ordinary baby shower ideas that are sure to be a hit!<\/p>\n\n<h2>More Baby Shower Activity Ideas for 2026<\/h2>\n\n<p>Baby shower activities have evolved well beyond the classic baby bingo and gift guessing games. Here are fresh ideas that keep every guest engaged regardless of how well they know the parents-to-be.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Baby advice book station:<\/strong> Set up a table with blank cards, pens, and prompts. Guests write their best parenting advice, funniest memory, or a prediction for the baby &#8211; their card goes into a keepsake box or scrapbook. The parents end up with a collection of personal messages that&#8217;s more meaningful than a traditional guest book.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Name that tune &#8211; lullabies edition:<\/strong> Play the first 10 seconds of famous lullabies, nursery rhymes, and children&#8217;s songs. Teams write their answers and hand in sheets. Works beautifully for mixed-age groups where younger guests may not know the classics and older guests have the advantage.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Onesie decorating station:<\/strong> Provide plain white onesies in newborn and 0-3 month sizes, fabric pens, and stamps. Guests decorate one each &#8211; the parents receive a collection of one-of-a-kind outfits from everyone who attended. Set clear rules: no fabric paint that takes hours to dry, and keep markers capped between uses.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Baby photo timeline:<\/strong> Ask the parents (and their parents) for baby photos of both families. Display them on a timeline board &#8211; guests try to match the baby photos to the right person. Both hilarious and surprisingly touching when grandparents&#8217; baby photos appear alongside modern ones.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Build-a-book library:<\/strong> Instead of (or in addition to) a gift registry, ask guests to bring their favorite children&#8217;s book with a personal inscription. The parents leave with a curated home library selected by the people who love them most.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/baby-shower-invitation-paperlust.jpg\" alt=\"Baby shower invitation card by Paperlust\" class=\"wp-image-12045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/baby-shower-invitation-paperlust.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/baby-shower-invitation-paperlust-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/baby-shower-invitation-paperlust-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2>How to Plan Baby Shower Games That Work for Everyone<\/h2>\n\n<p>The common mistake with baby shower games is choosing activities that work for one type of guest and alienate everyone else. Here&#8217;s how to structure a games lineup that actually lands.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mix knowledge-based and skill-based:<\/strong> Not everyone knows diaper sizes or baby product names, but everyone can compete at a speed challenge or a creative task. Balance trivia-style games (Guess the Baby Food flavor) with participation games (onesie decorating) so no one sits out feeling out of their depth.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Limit games to 45-60 minutes total:<\/strong> Three focused, well-run activities outperform eight poorly explained ones. Have all materials prepped before guests arrive &#8211; fumbling with setup mid-game kills momentum.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Have prizes ready:<\/strong> Small prizes for game winners (bath products, candles, chocolate) make games feel worthwhile rather than obligatory. Booby prizes for last place are optional but often get the biggest laughs.<\/p>\n\n<p>For the invitations that bring everyone together for these moments, <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/baby-shower-invitations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baby shower invitations<\/a> from Paperlust set the tone before the party begins. And if the parents need to print custom name tags, activity cards, or favor labels for the event, <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/products\/custom-labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">custom labels<\/a> from Paperlust Print Shop add a polished, coordinated look.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Themed Baby Shower Activity Ideas<\/h2>\n\n<p>A strong theme makes game selection much easier &#8211; everything connects to a central concept and the decorations, activities, and invitations tell a unified story.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Garden \/ botanical theme:<\/strong> Seed packet favors, flower crown making station, &#8220;name that herb&#8221; trivia, pressed flower art activity cards.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Books and reading theme:<\/strong> &#8220;Don&#8217;t say baby&#8221; game using bookmarks as forfeits, literary baby name trivia, build-a-library activity instead of traditional games.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Safari \/ jungle theme:<\/strong> Animal name trivia, &#8220;pin the tail on the elephant&#8221; instead of the donkey, animal matching games for younger guests.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Golden \/ luxury theme:<\/strong> Wine and cheese pairing guess (or sparkling water varieties for a sober-friendly version), baby shower bingo with gold foil cards, champagne tower building.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>What games work for mixed groups?<\/strong><br>Balance knowledge-based (baby trivia) with participation-based (onesie decorating). Everyone can compete at a creative task even if they don&#8217;t know diaper sizes.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How many games should you have?<\/strong><br>Three to four well-organized games for a 2 to 3 hour shower. Keep structured game time to 45-60 minutes total.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What are some unique activity ideas?<\/strong><br>Onesie decorating, baby advice book, build-a-library (guests bring a children&#8217;s book), baby photo timeline, name-that-lullaby.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you make games feel less forced?<\/strong><br>Tie them to the theme, keep rules simple, have prizes ready, and give guests the option to participate or observe.
