Advice For Parents Wall
Introduction
When you're about to become a parent, everyone’s got advice some helpful, some... not so much. The Advice Wall is your chance to gather little bits of real, honest, and sometimes hilarious wisdom from the people who care about you most. It’s low-pressure, easy, and ends up being one of those things you actually want to go back and read once the baby arrives. Think of it as a little wall of support, full of scribbled notes, tiny laughs, and maybe a few golden nuggets you’ll remember at 2 a.m. when nothing else makes sense.
What You’ll Need
- Sticky notes, notecards, or little paper tags
- Markers or pens (have extras people will walk off with them)
- A board, wall, or large poster to stick the notes on (string and clothespins work too)
- A simple sign that says something like: 'Share your best (or worst) parenting advice!'
- Optional: stickers or tape for guests who want to decorate their note
How to Play
- Set up a spot with all the supplies nothing fancy, just easy to spot and fun to use.
- Invite guests to write down a piece of advice, a reminder, or even just a joke to help the parents-to-be feel a little more ready.
- The tips can be heartfelt, funny, random, or super specific (like ‘never wake a sleeping baby’ or ‘always pack snacks for you, not just the kid’).
- As people write, they stick their notes up on the wall or board. You’ll see it grow throughout the party kind of like a visual hug.
- After the shower, the parents can save the notes in a book or just keep the whole board if they want to hang onto it.
Fun Variations
Add prompts like 'What I wish someone told me…' or 'When in doubt, always…'
Use different colored cards for different kinds of advice serious, silly, survival tips, etc.
Have guests sign their names or keep it anonymous either works
Set up a camera nearby to record video advice for a modern twist
Let the parents-to-be add a few cards of their own after the party future reminders to themselves
Why Guests Love It
- It’s personal without being mushy people can be real, funny, or wise.
- Everyone gets to contribute something useful, even if they don’t have kids of their own.
- It creates a great moment of connection someone always writes something that makes the whole room laugh or nod.
- The parents get a keepsake that actually feels supportive, not just decorative.
Conclusion
The Advice for Parents Wall isn’t just a game it’s a reminder that the parents aren’t doing this alone. Some of the notes might make them laugh, others might hit harder once they’re in the thick of it either way, it’s real, and it’s something they’ll be glad to have. Simple setup, big impact. That’s what makes this one a favorite.
