Baby showers are all about celebrating the mom-to-be. They're really the best kind of party, where family and friends come together to celebrate an expectant mom with gifts, and toast the new life that's about to be born — but they can also be tricky.
If you're looking to make sure a room full of people who may not be well-acquainted with each other keep chatting, fun and not-cheesy baby shower games are the way to go. They are essential for keeping the mood light and avoiding the need for any awkward small talk! There are lots of options, from cheeky and hilarious to more subdued brain puzzles. Pick a combination to keep your guests entertained, and hand out prizes so there's a competitive edge that keeps everyone in the game!
