What You Need
- 6–10 real baby products

- answer sheets
- pens
Everything here can be bought at a supermarket or printed at home — there is no need for anything specialist.
How to Play
- Gather baby items — nappies, wipes, a dummy, baby wash, a bottle.
- Display them numbered, with prices hidden.
- Guests write down what they think each costs.
- Reveal the real prices; closest total without going over wins.
- Give the products to the mom-to-be afterwards.
Why This Game Works
It doubles as a gift — every item used goes home with the parents.
The best shower games share three traits: they need no explaining twice, they include everyone regardless of age, and they finish before anyone gets bored. This one does all three.
Variations
Four ways to adapt it to your group:
- Use only items from her registry
- Play ‘closest wins’ per item instead of on total
- Include one very expensive item for comic effect
- Use local prices and mention the shop
Host Tip
Keep the receipts. Guests always argue about the prices, and it settles it instantly.
Prizes That Actually Get Used
Keep prizes small, useful and suitable for anyone:
- A nice candle
- A bar of good chocolate
- Hand cream
- A small potted plant or succulent
- A coffee-shop gift card
- A bottle of wine or sparkling juice
- A face mask set
Budget $5–$10 per prize and buy three to five. Anything overly themed tends to go straight in a drawer.
Fitting It Into the Afternoon
Two or three games is the right number for a 2–3 hour shower. A running order that works:
- Arrivals (0:00–0:30) — a drop-in activity such as advice cards
- After food (1:00) — your main game
- Before cake (1:30) — one quick second game
- Gift-opening (1:45) — bingo, if you are playing it
More than three games and guests start checking their phones. Fewer than two and the afternoon drifts.
Keep Planning
