Game Prizes For A Baby Shower

When playing games at a baby shower, who recieves the prize for winning the game? Mother-to-be or guest?

Our Answer:

Hi there,

This can be a little confusing for people and I have seen it done incorrectly a few times. The prizes for the games at are for the guests. The prizes should be items the guests would want to receive. In other words, don't give out baby bottles(something the mom to be would want or need) as a prize to the guests. Give them something they would like to receive. Some examples could be candy bars or chocolate, lotion, lipgloss, nail polish or hair products.

If you would like to give the mom some baby products...you can set up the actual games using baby items that can later be given to the mom to be at the end of the shower. Some game ideas that include baby products would be the price is right, baby bottle bowling, baby product memorization, and brown bag item guessing.

I hope that helps!

Good luck with planning the baby shower!
