10 Elegant Baby Shower Games for a Memorable Celebration
Planning a baby shower is such a special moment — it's a time to gather loved ones, celebrate a growing family, and create beautiful memories.
If you're envisioning an event that feels refined and timeless, the right activities can make all the difference. Forget the chaotic or overly silly games; here are 10 elegant baby shower games that blend fun with sophistication, making your event unforgettable.
1. Name That Baby Tune
Set the mood with a soft playlist of classic lullabies or sweet songs about babies and family. Play a few seconds of each tune and have guests guess the title.
✨ Elegant Touch: Create a curated playlist with acoustic covers or string quartet versions for an elevated feel.
2. Baby Wishes Cards
Offer each guest a beautifully printed card where they can write wishes or advice for the new baby. Later, the parents can treasure these heartfelt messages forever.
✨ Elegant Touch: Use handmade paper or cards with gold-foil lettering, and provide fine-tip pens in soft metallic shades.
3. The Price Is Right – Baby Edition
Display a set of chic baby essentials — like a cashmere blanket, designer booties, or organic lotions — and have guests guess the price of each item. Whoever gets closest wins.
✨ Elegant Touch: Use a linen-draped table and crystal stands to present the items beautifully.
4. Guess the Baby Photo
Before the shower, ask guests to send in a baby photo of themselves. Display them in elegant frames or on a stylish board, and let guests match the photos to the right person.
✨ Elegant Touch: Stick to a neutral palette like ivory, blush, and gold for the display, and use satin ribbons to number the photos.
5. Baby Name Scramble
Choose a list of sophisticated baby names and scramble the letters. Hand guests a sheet and give them a few minutes to unscramble as many names as possible.
✨ Elegant Touch: Print the scrambled names in a classic serif font on parchment paper and seal the sheets with a wax stamp for presentation.
6. Onesie Decorating – But Make It Chic
Set up a "design studio" where guests can decorate high-quality, neutral-toned onesies with iron-on decals, elegant monograms, or soft fabric paints. Keep the colors subtle and tasteful — think ivory, sage, blush, and dove gray.
✨ Elegant Touch: Use natural wood hangers to display finished onesies on a decorative rack, turning the activity into part of the decor.
7. Mommy or Daddy?
Create a list of fun facts about the parents-to-be — like "Who was born first?" or "Who took their first steps earlier?" Guests will guess which parent the fact is about.
✨ Elegant Touch: Print the questions in a booklet with soft watercolor illustrations that match the baby shower theme.
8. Diaper Notes
Set up a station with a basket of luxe, organic diapers and fine-tip pens. Invite guests to write a sweet (or funny) note on the back of a diaper for the parents to discover during late-night changes.
✨ Elegant Touch: Provide a calligraphy sample sheet so guests can try their hand at writing a beautiful message.
9. Guess the Baby's Birth Details
Have guests predict the baby's birth date, time, weight, and length. Record their guesses on a beautiful board or a set of cards.
✨ Elegant Touch: Use a custom acrylic or gold-framed sign to collect predictions, with matching individual guess cards tied with silk ribbon.
10. Baby Shower Bingo – Luxe Edition
Give guests a blank bingo card where they can fill in guesses of gifts the parents might receive (like "plush toy," "baby book," or "cashmere blanket"). As presents are opened, they can mark off the squares. First to Bingo wins!
✨ Elegant Touch: Design custom bingo cards to match your shower invitations, printed on thick card stock with elegant floral or minimalist designs.
