Planning guides
Planning the games, start to finish
How many games to play, when to play them, and how to make them work for a big room, a video call or a shower you’re hosting tomorrow.
How many games to play at a shower, and when
Three or four games for a bridal shower, two or three for a baby shower. Here's how long each takes, where they fit, and which to cut if you run late.
A bridal shower timeline that leaves room for games
A three-hour bridal shower schedule, minute by minute: arrivals, food, games, gifts and cake. Copy it, then swap in the games you like.
How to play shower games on a TV with guests' phones
Put the questions on the TV, let guests answer from their phones, and let the screen keep score. How it works, what you need, and what it costs.
Virtual bridal and baby shower games that work
Shower games for a video call or a hybrid shower: share the big screen, guests play on their phones, and everyone sees the same reveal at the same time.
Shower games for large groups
Games that work for 40, 100 or 200 guests at a shower or reception: what scales, what doesn't, and how to score a big room without a tally sheet.
Coed shower games everyone will play
Games for a coed bridal or baby shower that nobody has to be talked into: the shoe game, price guessing, trivia and how well do you know the groom.
Shower game prizes guests actually want
Shower and bachelorette game prizes for every budget: what to buy, how many you need, and how to handle ties without running out.
A baby shower timeline with games
A two-hour baby shower schedule, from arrivals to cake, with where each game fits. Short enough for a tired mom-to-be, full enough for the guests.
Last-minute shower games with no prep
Hosting a shower tomorrow? Games you can print tonight or run from your phone with no prep: quizzes, bingo, price guessing and advice cards.
Engagement party games for a mixed crowd
Engagement party games that work when both families meet for the first time: a couple quiz, the shoe game, predictions and a guess-the-number round.
Gender reveal party games before the big moment
Games to play at a gender reveal party while guests wait for the reveal: predictions, baby trivia, the shoe game and guess the baby weight.
Office baby shower games for coworkers
Baby shower games for the office or a video call with coworkers: 30 minutes, nothing awkward, and games that work whether people know the parent well or not.
Baby sprinkle games for a second (or third) baby
A baby sprinkle is a smaller shower for a second or later baby. These games suit a short, relaxed afternoon, and one of them the older siblings can win.
Funny bridal shower games that get real laughs
Bridal shower games that get genuine laughs without embarrassing anyone: would she rather, will the bride say bingo, never have I ever and the shoe game.
Bridal shower icebreakers for guests who don't know each other
Icebreaker games for a bridal shower where the bride's friends, family and future in-laws are meeting for the first time. Quick, easy and no standing up.
