Ask before you plan
The mum-to-be may have strong feelings about the size, style and guest list of her shower. Some want a big group; others prefer an intimate gathering. Some want a games-heavy afternoon tea; others prefer a calm lunch. Ask — then plan accordingly.
Games that work for every group
The games that land best are personal and low-pressure. Our free who knows the mum best card creates laughs regardless of how well guests know each other. Baby shower bingo runs itself as the mum opens gifts. Avoid anything that requires people to drink, get physical, or feel embarrassed.
The food sweet spot
Afternoon tea format (sandwiches, scones, cakes) works for most groups and timings. It is elegant, adaptable for dietary needs, and nobody leaves hungry. For evening showers, a grazing table with nibbles and prosecco feels less formal but equally celebratory.
