Keep guests entertained with these fun baby shower games that will have everyone laughing.
Throwing a baby shower is a beautiful milestone that will give you memories celebrating your pregnancy for years to come. Although it's an exciting day, planning a baby shower can be stressful, both when you're pregnant and when you're planning the shower for someone special to you.
There's a lot when it comes to planning a baby shower, from the theme to the party ideas, whether you're planning for a girl or a boy. You want everything to be perfect, and like any party, the goal is to entertain and give guests a memorable time. Baby shower games are an essential part of the day. They keep things fun, exciting, and are a great way to break the ice!
If you're looking for free baby shower games, printable games, or games you can buy — you've come to the right place.
I've rounded up the most entertaining baby shower games that guests will actually want to play.
1. Guess The Bump Size
This is a classic game that's played at most baby showers and for good reason! All you need is a ball of yarn and some scissors for guests. Before playing, put the yarn around your belly and cut a piece that measures around it. Hide the piece for later.
Have guests guess the size of your bump by looking. They'll cut off their piece of string from the yarn and once everyone is finished, you can compare the piece you measured with everyone's. The person who is closest wins!
