One of the most fun baby shower games is a super practical idea that mom will love—decorating baby onesies.

Let people vote on which is best and give a prize!

Which Shower Games Are Better for Older Guests to Play?
At my baby shower, we had a mixture of women in attendances ranging in age from 19 to 65.
If you have a few older guests, you will probably want to make sure there are some low-key games in the mix. You’ll also want to make sure games are not inappropriate, and can be played while sitting comfortably.
For this, I’d recommend a printable game like Is the Price Right?, or the Baby Prediction and Advice Cards.
If you throw a high-energy game in there, they may not participate, but that’s ok! Everyone will still have a great time—sometimes watching is half the fun!
