12 Actually Fun Baby Shower Games For Co-ed Parties

Let guests get physical with this Crafty Blonde Girl’s clever diaper changing relay race. Set up baby dolls, diapers, wipes, and baby powder on a table and divide guests into even teams. Each team member has to remove the doll’s diaper, wipe and powder its bottom, put a clean diaper on it, then run back to their team and hand it off to the next person in line. First team to have all their members change the baby’s diaper wins.

Etsy seller KrissyPrintables’ what’s in your phone game ($2) is downloadable and printable.

The guest with the most points wins.

Available in three different colorways, these baby shower mad libs ($6) let guests create their own crazy, funny advice for the parents-to-be!

Have a few guests read their sheets out loud for an extra fun.

Dudes will get right on board with this print-at-home shower squares game ($8) from Etsy’s Castle Hall Creative.

Blow up a bunch of balloons, have guests stuff them up their shirts to create faux pregnant bellies, then let them see how much fun it is to maneuver your body while sporting a huge bump with a game of Twister ($22). (Probably not a game for the actually pregnant person to take part in, though – they can be the referee or judge.)

He might not know how just much he needs it, but once the baby arrives, he’ll appreciate a stack of tips from his friends and family, written on Etsy seller Plus One Style’s downloadable and printable cards ($3, originally $5). Print out a similar template for the mom-to-be too, of course.
