Simple Baby Shower Activities That Keep Things Fun and Easy
When you're planning a baby shower, having a few light activities on hand is always a good idea. Nothing over-the-top just stuff that gets people talking, laughing a bit, and feeling like they’re part of the celebration. One thing that always goes over well? A table with cards where guests can write little notes maybe a bit of advice, a good luck message, or something funny for the parents-to-be to read later. It doesn’t take much, but it’s meaningful.
You can also do something silly like guess the belly size. Just pass around a string and let people guess how big mom’s bump is. It’s usually way off, which is what makes it funny. And if your crowd is into it, let them decorate a onesie or bib. Doesn’t have to be perfect in fact, the messier ones are usually the most loved. Honestly, it doesn’t take a ton to make it fun. A few simple ideas like these can turn a regular afternoon into something everyone remembers with a smile.
