Welcoming a new life into the world is a momentous occasion, and what better way to celebrate than with a baby shower? Originating from the United States, baby showers have become increasingly popular across the pond in the UK, providing a wonderful opportunity for friends and family to gather and shower the expectant parents with love and gifts. One key aspect to making a baby shower memorable is engaging and entertaining games that keep the energy lively and the guests smiling.

Here we’ll explore 10 brilliantly British baby shower games that will ensure your event is anything but boring. Plus, we’ll introduce you to Emily from Heart E Designs, who can provide personalised products and expert advice to make your baby shower uniquely special.

1. Don't Say Baby

This classic game adds a delightful challenge to your event, keeping guests on their toes throughout the day.

How to Play:

Give each guest a small pin or badge upon arrival.

The rule is simple: they are not allowed to say the word "baby" for the duration of the shower.

If someone catches another guest saying "baby," they get to take their pin.

The guest with the most pins at the end of the shower wins a prize.

Suggestion: Choose a personalised gift for the winner to co-ordinate with your overall baby shower theme!
