As the due date approaches, the excitement and anticipation of a new arrival can be palpable. What better way to celebrate this momentous occasion than with a baby shower filled with laughter, joy, and a touch of friendly competition? At The Dryden, our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy to our customers, so we've curated a collection of unique and engaging baby shower games that are sure to delight your guests.
Guess the Baby Food
This classic game never fails to entertain. Fill small jars or containers with various baby food flavors, and challenge your guests to guess the contents. You can even add a twist by including some unexpected flavors, like beets or spinach, to make it more challenging. The guest who correctly identifies the most baby food flavors wins a prize.
Onesie Decorating
Provide a selection of plain white onesies, fabric markers, and other decorative supplies, and let your guests unleash their creativity. Encourage them to design onesies that reflect the baby's personality, their own style, or a special message for the parents-to-be. Display the finished onesies and have everyone vote for their favorite.
Baby Trivia
Test your guests' knowledge of all things baby-related with a fun trivia game. Prepare a series of questions covering topics like baby milestones, nursery items, and celebrity baby names. Offer small prizes for the top scorers, and don't forget to include a few tricky questions to keep everyone on their toes.
Diaper Raffle
This game is a win-win for both the guests and the parents-to-be. Encourage guests to bring a pack of diapers to the shower, and in exchange, they'll receive a raffle ticket. At the end of the event, draw a winning ticket and award the lucky winner a special prize, such as a gift card or a pampering package.
Baby Bingo
Create custom bingo cards featuring baby-themed items, from pacifiers and rattles to strollers and bottles. As you call out the items, guests mark them off on their cards. The first person to get a full row, column, or diagonal wins a prize.
Guess the Baby Picture
Ask guests to bring in a baby photo of themselves, and then display the photos anonymously. Challenge your guests to match the baby pictures to the correct adult guests. The person who matches the most correctly wins a prize.
Nursery Rhyme Scramble
Write out the lyrics to classic nursery rhymes, but scramble the words. See how quickly your guests can unscramble the rhymes and identify the correct titles. This game is a great way to test their childhood knowledge and get everyone laughing.
Baby Shower Pictionary
Divide your guests into teams and challenge them to draw baby-themed items or scenarios for their teammates to guess. This fast-paced game is sure to get the creative juices flowing and the laughter echoing through the room.
Baby Bottle Chugging
For a bit of friendly competition, set up a baby bottle chugging contest. Fill the bottles with water (or a non-alcoholic beverage) and see who can empty theirs the fastest. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand for any spills!
Guess the Baby Bump
Measure the expectant mother's belly and cut pieces of string or yarn to the corresponding length. Challenge your guests to guess the exact measurement and award a prize to the closest guess.
These unique and engaging baby shower games are sure to create lasting memories and keep your guests entertained throughout the event. At The Dryden, we believe in the power of creativity and the joy of discovery, and we hope these ideas will help you plan an unforgettable celebration for the mom-to-be and her loved ones.
