How to Choose the Right Baby Shower Games (So It Doesn’t Feel Awkward)
Here’s the part most people skip—but it makes all the difference:
- Mix high-energy + low-effort games
Not everyone wants to compete—give options - Don’t overpack the schedule
3–5 solid activities > 10 rushed ones - Know your crowd
Chill group? Lean into keepsakes
Energetic group? Add competitive games - Have a flow
Icebreaker → interactive → gift opening → sentimental
