🍺 Baby Shower Drinking Games (7 Games)

For the guests who aren’t expecting! All games have non-alcoholic alternatives for the parent-to-be and anyone who prefers it.

1. Diaper Pong

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Competitive, hilarious

Set up like beer pong but with open diapers instead of cups. Toss ping pong balls into diapers arranged in a triangle. When you sink a shot, the opposing team drinks. The parent-to-be referees (and practices their diaper skills).

Pro tip: Use newborn diapers for hard mode, toddler diapers for easy mode.

2. Don’t Say “Baby” Drinking Edition

Players: Any | Vibe: All-event, sneaky

The classic game with teeth. Every guest gets a clothespin (or rubber bracelet). If someone catches you saying “baby,” they take your pin AND you drink. Most pins at the end wins a prize. Hardest rule to follow at an event literally about a baby.

3. Baby Prediction Shots

Players: Any | Vibe: Engaging, funny

Host reads predictions about the baby: birth date, weight, hair color, first word, who baby will look like. Everyone writes their answer. After each reveal of the parents’ guess, anyone who matches drinks to celebrate. Anyone who’s way off also drinks in shame.

4. Nursery Rhyme Drunk Karaoke

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Hilarious, loud

Spin a wheel of nursery rhymes. You must sing the entire thing from memory. Every wrong word = sip. Can’t remember at all? Finish your drink. Watching grown adults stumble through “Humpty Dumpty” is peak entertainment.

5. Baby Bottle Chug Race

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Competitive, physical

Fill baby bottles with beer, juice, or any drink. On “go,” everyone chugs from the baby bottle nipple. First to finish wins. It’s way harder than it sounds — those nipples weren’t designed for speed drinking. The struggle is the entertainment.

6. Labor or Shots

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Informative, drinking

Host reads wild-but-true facts about labor and delivery. Guests vote: real or fake? Anyone who gets it wrong takes a shot. You’ll be shocked what’s actually true. Educational AND intoxicating.

7. Mommy/Daddy Juice Tasting

Players: Any | Vibe: Chill, tasting

Set up a blind tasting of different wines, beers, or cocktails labeled as “baby names.” Guests taste and rank their favorites. Most accurate identifier of the drinks wins. The parent-to-be does a mocktail version with virgin cocktails.

---

🎯 Classic Games with Adult Twists (7 Games)

The games everyone knows, upgraded for adults who need more than a word search.

8. Baby Bingo (Actually Fun Edition)

Players: Any | Vibe: During gifts, engaging

Instead of pre-filled cards, give guests blank bingo cards. They predict what gifts will be opened. First to get 5 in a row wins. Add drama: “wild card” squares where you must tell an embarrassing story about the parent-to-be to claim the square.

9. The Price Is Right: Baby Edition

Players: Any | Vibe: Competitive, surprising

Display 10-15 baby items (car seat, stroller, diapers, onesie pack, etc.). Guests write down guesses for each price. Closest total wins. Adults are SHOCKINGLY bad at baby item prices. A good car seat costs what?!

10. Baby Food Blind Taste Test

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Hilarious, gross

Remove labels from 8-10 jars of baby food. Number each jar. Guests taste and guess the flavor. Some are deceptively good (banana, apple). Others are crimes against taste buds (turkey dinner, green beans). The faces people make are worth the whole shower.

Pro tip: Mix in one jar that’s actually hummus or guacamole to mess with people.

11. Diaper Changing Speed Race

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Physical, hilarious

Blindfold contestants. Give them a baby doll, diaper, and wipes. Time each person’s diaper change. Fastest clean change wins. Bonus: smear peanut butter or chocolate inside the old diaper for realistic grossness. This is especially entertaining with first-time dads.

12. Name That Tune: Lullaby Edition

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Musical, competitive

Play 2-3 second clips of lullabies and children’s songs. First person to correctly name the song wins the round. Play 15 rounds. Mix obvious ones (Twinkle Twinkle) with deeper cuts (the Barney theme, Wiggles songs). Nostalgia overload.

13. Guess the Baby Photo

Players: 6+ | Vibe: Sentimental, funny

Ask each guest to submit a baby photo before the shower. Display all photos numbered. Guests match photos to people. It’s harder than you think — and discovering what everyone looked like as a baby is endlessly entertaining.

14. Baby Sketch Artist

Players: Any | Vibe: Creative, hilarious

Each guest draws what they think the baby will look like. Papers are anonymous. The parent-to-be judges and picks their favorite. The results range from adorable to absolutely terrifying. Display them for the rest of the party.

15. Who Said It: Mom or Dad?

Players: Any | Vibe: Revealing, funny

Before the shower, interview both parents separately with questions like: “Who will change more diapers?” “Who will be the strict parent?” “Who cried first at the ultrasound?” Read statements aloud. Guests guess which parent said it. Reveals are priceless.

16. Parent Superlatives

19. First Year Predictions Card

Players: Any | Vibe: Keepsake, funny

Give each guest a card to fill out predictions: Baby’s first word, first food they’ll hate, number of blowout diapers in month one, first holiday costume, will they sleep through the night by 6 months? Seal them. Open at the baby’s first birthday.

20. Parenting Style Debate

Players: 6+ | Vibe: Hilarious, heated

Present parenting dilemmas: “The baby drew on the walls — what do you do?” Two teams debate their approach. Parent-to-be judges which advice they’d actually follow. Topics get progressively more ridiculous.

21. Baby Name Roast

Players: Any | Vibe: Funny (if parents are good sports)

Each guest anonymously writes a baby name suggestion. Can be serious or absolutely unhinged. Read them all aloud. Parents rate each one 1-10. The terrible suggestions (Streetlamp LeMoose, Blanket, ABCDE) are always the highlight.

24. Musical Pacifiers

Players: 6+ | Vibe: Active, classic

25. Baby Carrier Assembly Race

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Competitive, practical

26. Waddle Race

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Physical, silly

Place a balloon between each racer’s knees. Waddle from start to finish without dropping or popping it. First across wins. Pop your balloon? Start over. Simple but surprisingly difficult and always generates laughs.

27. Stroller Derby

Players: 4+ | Vibe: Outdoor, competitive

Set up a stroller course with cones, speed bumps (pool noodles), and tight turns. Contestants push a stroller (with weighted doll) through the course as fast as possible. Time penalties for knocked cones or dropped babies. Future parents: this is your life now.

30. Pregnancy Myth Busters

Players: Any | Vibe: Informative, surprising

35. Diaper Messages

Players: Any | Vibe: Funny, practical

Players: Any | Vibe: Instead of a card, keepsake
