Baby showers aren’t just about showering the parents-to-be with gifts (though every expectant parent can all agree this is a *much* appreciated tradition)—they're also a great opportunity to have some fun with friends and family! That’s why we’re here to offer you our top 10 favorite games to try at baby showers. Luckily, there is no shortage of baby-themed games and these ones are certain to get the ice broken, the chit-chat a-flowin’ and the laughter rollin’!
- Who's That Baby?
Have you ever stepped into a party and wished you knew what everyone looked like as a baby? Just us? Well, on the off chance that you answered “YES!” to that question, then this is the ultimate party game for you. Ask your guests to bring a photo of themselves as a baby and collect the photos upon their arrival. Then, arrange the photos on a wall or table and number them. Guests can then write down which person they think corresponds with the baby photo. Happy guessing!
- Advice for the New Parents
As the old adage goes: it takes a village. Help provide the parents-to-be with much-needed advice and support by setting up an advice station. Place some paper, pens and a bowl or jar on a table and invite guests to leave a heartfelt note with some sage advice or words of encouragement. Or simply hand out these baby prediction and advice cards to guests. It will leave the expectant parents with a lovely keepsake and serve as a reminder that they’re not alone when things get tough.
- Share a Storybook
Children’s books have some of the best stories, the sweetest artwork and plenty of lessons we could all learn a thing or two from! If you’re hosting a baby shower, consider asking guests to bring a copy of one of their favorite books from childhood or a contemporary children’s book they love. Then, during the shower, set aside time for everyone to share which book they brought. It’ll give everyone a chance to reminisce and help the parents-to-be start their little one’s library! Here are some of our favorite books for baby showers with everything from classics like Goodnight Moon to recent hits like Ricky, the Rock that Couldn’t Roll.
- Baby Food Taste Test
We know, we know—of all the hors d'oeuvres to offer at a gathering, baby food is probably the last one your guests are expecting. But what’s more on-theme for a baby shower than a little baby food taste test? Simply purchase a few intriguing baby food flavors, cover their labels and number each jar. Then, invite guests to test them and write down their flavor guesses on a piece of paper. The guest who gets the highest number of correct guesses wins!
- Baby Item Memory Game
Pacifiers, rattles and mobiles, oh my! This memory game is the perfect way to get guests’ gears turning—and doubles as an excuse for the parents-to-be to kickstart their baby shopping! Arrange a variety of baby items on a table and keep covered with a cloth until the game begins. Then, remove the cloth and give guests a minute to try and memorize what items are on the table. After a minute, cover the items again with the cloth and ask guests to write down as many items as they can remember. The guest that is able to remember the most items wins!
- Guess the Due Date
Perhaps the simplest baby shower game of all, this game asks guests to (as its title implies) guess the expectant parents’ due date and is super a fun way to get everyone excited about the little one! The guest whose guess is closest to the actual due date wins. Debatably the most fun part of the game? Seeing how far off some of the guesses can get!
- Don't Say "Baby"
Upon their arrival, give each guest five clothespins and ask them not to say the word "baby" during the party. If someone slips up and accidentally drops the b-word, the first person to notice gets to take one of their clothespins. The guest with the most clothespins at the end of the party wins!
- Baby Bingo
This one requires a teeny bit of prep, but who doesn’t love a good game of bingo? Print out blank bingo cards before the party and fill in the squares with various baby-related items. Remember, the order of items on each bingo board should be unique! On the day of the party, hand out the bingo boards to guests, call out baby items in a random order and see who’s able to fill a row first! Bonus points if they yell out “BABY BINGO!” instead of the typical “Bingo!”
- Name That Baby Tune
Music lovers, this one’s for you! Before the day of the baby shower, create the *ultimate* playlist of baby-related songs. Choose tracks that have “baby” in the title, in the lyrics or even reference babies in some regard—get creative with it! On the day of the party, play a few seconds of each song and ask guests to try and guess the name of the song. The guest who guesses the most songs correctly is the winner—and honorary music aficionado!
- Diaper Raffle
Diapers are a new parent’s best friend, so why not help the parents-to-be stock up on diapers with this fun and simple game? Before the baby shower, find a fun prize to raffle off—it could be a cool piece of tech like Apple AirPods, something versatile like an Amazon gift card or something sentimental like the parents-to-be’s favorite cookbook. Ask guests to come to the baby shower with a pack or two of diapers to be exchanged for raffle tickets (i.e. one pack of diapers = 1 raffle ticket!). It’s a win-win: the guests get a chance to leave with a cool prize and the parents-to-be get to stock-up on baby supplies!

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
