Coed baby shower games both parents will enjoy

When the partner and their friends come to the baby shower, melted chocolate in a diaper stops being funny. Coed baby showers need games that feel like game night: both parents in the spotlight, a scoreboard, and nothing anyone has to be talked into.

Updated October 29, 2026

The short answer

The best coed baby shower games put both parents in the spotlight: mom or dad (who will change the first diaper?), the baby shower shoe game, a baby price guessing round and a baby trivia ladder. Skip the diaper and bottle-chugging games, and split the room into a mom team and a dad team for some rivalry.

The picks

Mom or dad has guests guess which parent will do what. The baby shower shoe game puts both of them on stage. A price guess round is a surprise for anyone who's never bought diapers, and the baby shower trivia ladder works like a pub quiz.

Team mom against team dad

Split the guests into two teams, one for each parent. Live, the screen shows a team score next to everyone's own, so the rivalry runs all afternoon. For more ideas, see coed shower games.
