Never Have I Ever: Pregnancy Edition is an easy baby shower game that can be played at a party or during a virtual baby shower. I’m sure you’ve played this game before in your younger years (while consuming multiple alcoholic beverages) but this edition is appropriate for all ages. Learn more about the mama-to-be and her pregnancy as the questions are asked. It is a great baby shower game to play at the start of a party. Minimal prep needed!

Lion King Birthday Party

Our daughter’s birthday happened right when COVID-19 starting affecting our lives. For a number of days, my husband and I wavered over whether to throw the party or not. When we understood that a stay-at-home order was going to be placed soon it was an easy decision to cancel. We were still able to give our daughter a special day by having her Lion King birthday party just without any of the guests. I think she had a great time!

Baby Registry: Clothing

Many people might tell you not to register for clothing.  For one, people are going to give you baby clothing as gifts regardless of what you register for because it is fun to buy cute baby clothes. 

Another reason is that you don’t know how big your baby will be when he/she is born.  Maybe your kid won’t ever even be in newborn clothes.  Also, you don’t know how fast your baby will grow.  If you buy too many clothes in advance the seasons might end up being all wrong.

Barn Birthday Invitations

Sick of trying to find the perfect farm-themed birthday invitations? Not looking to spend a lot of money on invitations for a child’s birthday party? I hear you!

I’m a frugal party planner, especially when it comes to birthdays my children won’t even remember. I made these invitations in Canva, printed them off, and with a little cutting and some glue dots I think they turned out pretty good.

Below I’ve written instructions for how to create your own easy and cheap barn invitations.

Baby Shower Game of Quotes From Children’s Books

If you’ve been to my blog before you know I love to read. My passion for reading developed at a very early age. In elementary school, the one time I faked sick to stay home was so I could read a new book – #nerdalert!

I’m so happy that the trend of bringing a book instead of a card to baby showers has continued for a number of years now. What a sweet way to start building baby’s first library.

A simple baby shower game can also incorporate everyone’s love of children’s books. There are a number of ways you can play “Name That Book”. In each version, guests hear quotes from popular children’s books and try to guess the titles. Whoever correctly guesses the most titles wins!

Below I have included variations of ways you can play the game as well as a FREE PRINTABLE for those who want to make their baby shower planning process easy. Yes, the answers are included! I tried to pick book quotes that were very famous so the game would be fun (and competitive) to play.

Have a children’s book that you, or the mom-to-be, love that I didn’t include? Add more questions or create your own list of quotes that would be more personal to your party.
