Common questions

How many games should we play at a baby shower?

Two or three games is the sweet spot for most showers — enough to be fun, not so many that guests feel scheduled. Printable games such as bingo, a word scramble and an emoji game are the most popular format.

Are printable shower games a good idea?

Yes — printable sets are what hosts reach for most, because they are inexpensive, look polished, and the wishes and predictions cards double as keepsakes for the baby book afterwards.

How long should a first birthday party be?

About two hours works best for a one-year-old — ideally starting right after a nap, with the cake in the last half hour. Short, calm and nap-friendly beats long and overwhelming at this age.

What can guests leave behind for the baby?

Wishes and predictions cards are the favourite: guests write a hope or a funny prediction, and the cards go straight into the baby's memory book — which is why they feature in our coming shower games bundle.
