The 15 Best Online Baby Shower Games

1. Guess the Baby Name

Each guest submits their prediction for the baby's name — and votes on their favorite. The mom-to-be reveals the real name at the end (or keeps everyone in suspense a little longer). Always an emotional highlight.

2. How Well Do You Know the Parents?

30 questions about the couple: their first date, their favorite movie, how they announced the pregnancy... Who really knows them best? The answers always surprise someone.

3. Gift Bingo

Every guest gets a bingo card filled with common baby gifts (onesie, swaddle, pacifier...). As the mom-to-be unwraps her presents, guests check off their squares. First to complete a line shouts "Bingo!" and wins a small prize.

4. How Many Diapers in One Night?

A lighthearted poll: each guest predicts how many diapers the baby will go through in their first night home. The answer is revealed weeks later — and the closest guess wins bragging rights.

5. Who Said That?

Movie quotes, book lines, and TV moments about babies and motherhood flash on screen. Guests race to identify the source. Perfect for pop culture fans.

6. Lullaby Blind Test

Short clips of famous lullabies play without their titles. "Twinkle Twinkle" is easy... but the international ones will stump even the most confident players.

7. Draw a Baby — Eyes Closed

Every guest draws a baby without looking at their paper or screen. The results are 100% hilarious, 0% artistic. A timeless classic for a reason.

8. The Forbidden Word

Pick a word that's banned for the entire party — "baby," "cute," "diaper"... Anyone who says it loses a point. Simple concept, surprisingly ruthless execution, guaranteed laughs.

9. Baby Predictions

Each guest predicts: birth weight, exact due date, eye color, first word, first food... These predictions are saved and revealed once baby arrives. A beautiful keepsake for the mom-to-be.

10. Pregnancy Myth Busters: True or False?

Statements about pregnancy flash on screen — some true, some completely false. Guests learn things, laugh at the myths, and the mom-to-be discovers what her friends actually believe about babies.

11. Match the Nursery Rhyme to the Lesson

Classic nursery rhymes paired with their hidden life lessons. Which one would you teach your baby first? A gentle, thoughtful game for evening baby showers.

12. Speed Round: Baby Gear Edition

30 seconds. Name as many baby items as possible. The clock runs, the pressure builds, and the answers get increasingly creative past the first 10 seconds.

13. Baby Charades

Charades with a pregnancy and baby twist. Great for mixed-age groups — grandmas and college friends can both compete on equal footing.

14. Celebrity Baby Photo Quiz

Baby photos of famous people flash on screen. Who can recognize the most celebrities as infants? Much harder than it sounds, and endlessly entertaining.

15. A Message for Baby

Not technically a game — but the most memorable moment of the night. Each guest records a voice message or writes a note to be opened on the baby's 18th birthday. The mom-to-be keeps this collective gift forever.

How to Run These Games Without the Hassle

Preparing all these games manually takes hours. Designing cards, writing questions, tracking scores, managing a Zoom call at the same time...
