Definitely, Covid has dampened all plans for a baby shower. But, a socially distanced baby shower should be as exciting and enthralling as a typical one. Make it a day to remember for parents-to-be. With just a few tweaks and alterations, you can enjoy some of your favourite baby shower games virtually, creating a fun and unique online baby shower that feels just like the real thing. After all, what is a baby shower without the element of fun and games?
A few games/things to do in a virtual baby shower –
Gift registry set up
Yes, everybody wants to gift parents-to-be something special on the arrival of their little one. So, why not create a list of things you need post-pregnancy with your friends? Guests can order gifts to be sent to the parents-to-be prior to the event, and you can do the unboxing over the zoom baby shower! Wow, now that sounds like an idea.
The Guessing Game
For your #webbabyshower this game is super fun and interactive.
Rules:
This game requires the mom to answer a list of baby-related questions before the online shower that the guests have to guess the answer to.
Sample questions include:
*What did you crave the most during your pregnancy?
*How much do you think the baby will weigh?
*What has been the most exciting month of the pregnancy?
Boy/Girl
Ask all your guests to wear either blue/pink clothes. May you have a healthy baby, whatever may be the gender but it’s just a small way of adding that excitement to your virtual baby shower. Oh, and you also have a Zoom poll feature.
Baby Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt is a great way to get your guests engaged. It’s all quite simple, too.
Rule: The host has a list of baby items the new parents will need. Guests simply have to find the items in their home. Yes, they will have to get up and move, but that just adds to the fun. To begin, start with the word bottle. The first five guests who find a bottle and return to the camera make it to the next round. Each round introduces a new item to find and the game will continue until, by process of elimination, you have a winner. Some items to look for include lotion, blanket, shampoo, bottle, and toy.
Guess that Baby Tune
This could be the hit of the party! Have guests “hum” a popular song using only the word ‘baby.’ Ask others to guess it. To keep it more engaging, stick to the songs that have the word ‘baby’ in them.
Don’t say the Word “Baby”
This game is super easy to start but pretty challenging to win. At the beginning of the remote baby shower, set forth the rule that no one can say the word “baby” throughout the event. The guest who first calls out someone who does say it gets a point. The guest with the most points at the end of the virtual baby shower wins.
Blessings
The cutest part of virtual baby shower would be to have your guests sending you wishes and sweet blessings for the little bundle of joy and parents-to-be. They can either type/say their blessings and you have the option to record/screen-shot them.
We hope you enjoy these exciting games at your upcoming virtual baby shower. Celebrating through an online service may seem a bit different, but it shouldn’t ever be any less fun. You’d have new stories to tell now!
Be safe, stay healthy and have a lovely baby shower!
