Baby Shower Games We’re enjoying in 2025
Planning baby shower games can be tricky—you want something fun, but not over-the-top or awkward. When I helped host one recently, I realized the best games are the ones that get everyone smiling and actually talking to each other.
Whether you’re hosting for a close friend or a family member, these baby shower game ideas really hit the sweet spot. They’re easy to set up, fun to play, and perfect for making memories without any stress.
1. Sweetest Guess Wins!
This game setup is seriously the sweetest little detail for any woodland-themed baby shower. I’m instantly picturing guests laughing and guessing while nibbling on a gummy bear or two—because let’s be honest, who can resist?
What I love most about how distinctivs styled this is the way everything feels both rustic and playful. The soft watercolor bear, the wood slice accents and pinecone sprigs, it’s like a tiny forest picnic with a dose of childhood.
A game that’s easy to play but full of charm—and totally photo-worthy too.
2. Decorate a Block
Oh I love this idea—it turns such a classic childhood toy into a meaningful keepsake. I can just imagine the soft buzz of guests gathered around, picking their colors, doodling a tiny animal or letter, and pouring a little love into each wooden square.
The way sugarplumeventco styled this table feels elevated and personal all at once. With the delicate flowers and neutral tones, it’s a perfect blend of calm and creativity—like a quiet moment carved out for connection.
Something simple, sweet, and beautifully hands-on.
3. Spin the Baby Bottle
Okay, this spin-the-bottle baby shower game is absolutely genius—and I don’t say that lightly. It’s playful, a little silly, and exactly the kind of icebreaker I’d want at a shower to get everyone laughing (and maybe mildly embarrassed in the best way).
I love how lavenderskies.inc turned a baby bottle into the star of the show. It keeps the whole setup on-theme without being overly sweet, and the prompts? Just the right mix of nostalgic and cheeky. I’d be crossing my fingers not to land on “act like a baby,” but deep down… I kinda hope I do.
The kind of interactive fun that makes memories long after the cupcakes are gone.
4. How Many M&Ms in the Pumpkin?
This sweet little guessing game stopped me in my scroll—I mean, who doesn’t love a good “how many candies in the jar” moment with a seasonal twist? It’s the kind of setup that’s low-pressure for guests but high on charm.
I adore how handmadexhan leaned into autumn with that pumpkin-shaped jar and warm-toned decor. It instantly gives the whole baby shower an inviting, cozy vibe.

The numbered scoring is genius too—it turns a simple toss into a full-blown competition. I’m loving the way decoratin_by_srishti took this classic game-day setup and made it feel totally fresh and party-ready with soft blue balloons, floral accents, and a sleek custom board.
Fun, festive, and a little unexpected—this is baby shower energy done right.

I’m obsessed with this idea. You know those games that bring out everyone’s inner comedian? games.knight totally nailed it with this “Unmentionable” card game setup.
I can already picture my friends stumbling over baby-themed taboo words, trying so hard not to say “diaper” or “cry” while we all erupt in laughter. It’s part charades, part tongue-twister chaos—and it’s brilliant. Definitely the kind of game I’d pull out mid-shower to break the ice.
A little cheeky, totally unpredictable, and so much fun for every guest at the table.
13. Who’s the Baby’s Daddy
Now, this Who’s the Baby’s Daddy? game from @colibri_party is absolutely hilarious—and definitely one I’d save for a crowd that loves a good laugh.
The celebrity twist makes it even better. Imagine guests trying to match baby faces to photoshopped celeb “dads” while trying to keep a straight face. I can already hear the giggles and playful debates across the room.
This would totally be my go-to for breaking the ice early in the shower.
14. Don’t Say Baby!
This “Don’t Say Baby” setup by @sugarplumeventco is just too cute to ignore. I mean, look at that citrusy sweetness—those little oranges with faces? Adorable.
I’ve always loved games like this because they keep guests on their toes the whole shower. You think you can go an hour without saying “baby”… until someone opens a onesie and you slip up immediately.
The added twist of grabbing pins keeps it playful and just competitive enough.
15. Diaper Raffle
How fun is this sunshine-bright diaper raffle setup from @vickyssweetdecor? The retro primary color palette totally pops, and I’m loving the playful mix of fonts—it’s got this cheerful vintage vibe that feels so nostalgic and sweet.
I always think diaper raffles are such a thoughtful way to sprinkle in some practical help for new parents, while still keeping things lighthearted.
Everyone gets excited about a prize, and you end up with a stash of diapers you’ll definitely be grateful for later.
16. Baby Talk!
I died laughing when I first saw this game from cotierbrand—”Baby Talk” is absolute chaos in the best way. Trying to say phrases like “It’s a big beefy pooper bomber” with a pacifier in your mouth? Instant comedy gold. I swear, I could already hear the belly laughs just reading the box.
What makes this game even better is how easy it is to jump into. No long instructions, just grab a pacifier, get goofy, and let the good times roll. It’s perfect for breaking the ice and getting everyone—from your college besties to grandma—giggling uncontrollably.
This is the kind of silly, memorable fun that baby showers are made for.

The oversized bib, the tears, that tuft of baby hair—it’s cartoonishly perfect in the best way. It gave us the funniest photo ops (and let’s be honest, some very flattering new profile pics).
If you’re planning a playful shower and want a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, this is it. Pure, giggle-worthy magic.
18. Dirty Diapers!
I mean… who knew passing gas could bring this much joy? We played Dirty Diapers from kidoozi at our last baby shower and I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in ages. The suspense, the silliness, the absolutely wild faces people make trying not to get “gassed”—it’s chaotic perfection.
I was a little skeptical at first (diaper humor isn’t always my thing), but once we got into it, I was fully invested. And honestly, it’s the kind of game that totally breaks the ice with guests who don’t know each other well.
Fair warning: once that baby passes gas, it’s over—you’re going to lose it.
19. Nursery Rhyme Quiz
Okay, confession: I thought I knew all the nursery rhymes—until this game humbled me real quick. The Nursery Rhyme Quiz from mapleplanners is one of those sneaky little gems that’s way more fun (and challenging!) than you expect.
There’s something so nostalgic about trying to remember where that mischievous dish ran off to, or why exactly the spider decided to climb up the spout in the first place. I loved watching guests of all ages lean in, squint, and quietly hum to themselves as they pieced together the lyrics. So sweet.
If you’re looking for a calm, cozy game that brings people together without any chaos, this one’s a keeper.
Bonus: it totally works for a tea party theme or anything with vintage, storybook vibes.

If you’re looking to add some playful energy to your shower, this game is a tried-and-true hit with a fresh, stylish twist.
21. Guess Who?
This “Guess Who—Mommy or Daddy?” game from paperdollinvitations_usa was such a highlight at the shower. It had everyone giggling and side-eyeing each other across the table—especially when it came to questions like “Who has more pairs of shoes?” (Spoiler: I didn’t win that one).
Everyone got so into guessing who made the first move or who says “I love you” more. It sparked the funniest debates and the warmest laughs.
If you’re looking to add something lighthearted and personal, this one’s an instant hit. Plus, the nautical touches? Totally adorable.
22. Guess Who Said it!
If you’re curating a sweet, intimate shower full of love and laughter, this one’s a must-add to the mix.
I love how this game adds such a fun layer of personality to the baby shower. “Guess Who Said It?” game from @paperart.and.ink had us all in stitches—and a few mock debates, too. I couldn’t help but laugh when we got to “I will say ‘no’ the most” because… let’s just say we all had the same very confident guess.
It’s like a cheeky little window into the couple’s quirks and parenting predictions, and everyone gets to play along. Plus, the minimalist script design? Absolutely adorable—elegant but playful, just like the vibe of the day.
23. Baby Bingo!
Okay, can I just say how much I adore a game that blends fun with just the tiniest bit of competition? Baby Bingo at koekelahuiskafee was that perfect touch—laid-back, adorable, and just structured enough to keep everyone engaged while still sipping mocktails and nibbling on sweets.

This Find the Daddy? scratch-off game from craftingwithisaa brought the biggest laughs at the shower. It’s one of those games that turns a sweet moment into full-on party mode in the best way.

It’s simple, silly, and so much fun to play. Definitely adding this one to my baby shower must-haves.
25. Milk Chugging
Let me just say—milk chugging is not for the faint of heart, and that’s exactly what makes it hilarious. When I saw this idea from cuddlesforcubs, I knew it would be a hit, and wow, did it deliver.
Watching grown-ups furiously sip from baby bottles, cheeks puffed and brows furrowed in full concentration? Comedy gold. Everyone had a blast, and it totally broke the ice for guests who didn’t know each other well.
It’s goofy, lighthearted, and perfect for outdoor showers or co-ed gatherings. Just don’t forget the camera—you’ll want to capture those faces.
