How to Host a Virtual Baby Shower

By Saira Perl

Certain circumstances may be forcing you to learn how to host a virtual baby shower.

With health & travel restrictions, it’s harder to get together in person.

Or maybe you have guests who want to join the baby shower fun but can’t come in person.

Why Choose a Virtual Baby Shower?

There are many reasons to have a virtual baby shower:

Circumstances changed with the baby and bed rest is mandatory
Family members are too far away for a shower
A random pandemic puts everyone in quarantine (currently happening)
Time is flying by too quickly to fit one in before the baby comes
It’s easier to plan and less pricey
You want to have another baby shower for the same baby

There are countless reasons you might need to throw a baby shower or maybe you just want to try something new.

Either way, virtual baby showers are being embraced more & more every day.

Virtual baby showers can be a blast.

And they’re actually easier than they might seem.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

How to Host a Virtual Baby Shower

Virtual baby showers are much easier than an in-person shower.

They can take a lot of stress off the host or mother-to-be.

The Virtual Baby Shower Process

The basic and overall process for how to host a virtual baby shower is basically the same as an in-person shower, there’s just less work to do.

Here are the basic steps you’ll need to take to host the party.

From these steps, you can add in your personalized to-do list based on your plans and needs.

Find a hosting service such as Facebook, WebBabyShower, Skype, etc.
Make the invite list
Set the date
Send out invitations
Figure out virtual baby shower games and the outline of the event
Host the party
Send out thank you’s

We’ll go more into detail on the hosting options below.

Virtual Baby Shower Hosting Options

Facebook

Perhaps the most popular platform for baby showers is Facebook.

It has everything a host needs in order to tackle an online get together, with minimal effort.

All you need to do is create an event, set the date/time, type in the details of the event in the description, and send the invites.

The only catch is that the people invited have to be on Facebook.

You have the option of video for the event and people will get updates and reminders as the event gets closer.

WebBabyShower

There are services such as WebBabyShower that (for a fee) have a personalized virtual baby shower platform.

You can choose cute designs, have photo albums, they have built in virtual baby shower games, cute invites, thank you’s – pretty much everything you need.

It’s around $80 which may sound high, but this is much less expensive than what you’d pay to host an in-person baby shower.

Skype

There is also the option of Skype, which is a basic video platform.

As long as someone has an internet connection, they can download Skype and logon to your group video and you can conduct the shower this way.

You can invite up to 50 guests with Skype.

Zoom

Zoom is another popular option, because it’s simple & easy.

It’s free for everyone to use & allows up to 100 participants.

They don’t have to download an app – everything can be accessed on Zoom – but downloading the app comes with extra features.

However, with the free version you only get 40 minutes of meeting time per call.

You can get around this by starting a new call when the first one ends, but this is very disruptive.

If you’re going to have a baby shower for longer than 40 minutes (which you probably are), you can upgrade to one month of paid Zoom access to remove the 40-minute restriction.

And bonus – with the paid Zoom version you can record the call & download the video file afterward to keep it.

It’s a great memory & special gift.

Invitations & Thank You’s

Many of the services you can use for a virtual baby shower are going to have an invite option, some prettier than others.

However, if you prefer to send out a physical copy of invitations and thank you’s, that’s still an option as well.

There are also random websites that are specifically for sending invitations through email or online.

A quick Google will give you more options in this category than you’ll ever need.

Building the Outline of the Event

When learning how to host a baby shower, it can be confusing on where to start when it comes to coming up with the event itself.

Virtual baby shower games are always a great way to supplement a basic party.

There are only a few routes you can go with a baby shower online however, the games are what can make it unique.

Other additions you can include in the party are:

A live video of the couple talking to everyone, opening presents, etc.
Spread the party out beyond a day and have games, prizes, etc. over a period of time
Have a group video where everyone can interact and talk to each other at the same time
Don’t forget the virtual baby shower games

If you’re just learning how to host a virtual baby shower, you’ll quickly find that there’s nothing to it.

A little bit of planning goes a long way and it can be more convenient, cheaper, and a more unique way to tackle a baby shower.

Virtual Baby Shower Games – Top 10 Ideas

By Saira Perl

Yes, you CAN have virtual baby shower games even if you decide to host a long distance baby shower.

As I write this, we are currently in the middle of the pandemic.

Of course babies are still coming, whether we can be together to celebrate or not.

For my own family, we’ve started celebrating more virtual events together.

Since we all live far apart, we could always have had these virtual events together before.

But now that we’re social distancing, we appreciate spending time together so much more.

I think this virtual party trend will continue with family & friends all around the world wanting to connect.

If you’re looking for fun & easy ideas, these baby shower games are perfectly adapted to your virtual baby shower.

Bingo – 2 Ways To Play!

Everyone loves bingo – it’s a classic favorite.

And it’s an easy virtual baby shower game to play.

These baby shower bingo cards have cute & modern themes – just pick the one you like best.

Here’s a review from one virtual party host:

I got the bingo cards and my family was able to play via Zoom. It was a fun way to “be together” while we are spread out all over the USA during quarantine.

How do you play virtual baby shower bingo?

Order the set that you want to play here
You’ll get an email with a link to your game cards
Forward this email to your guests, so they also have a link to the file
Everyone picks a different card from the set

You can even play 2 different ways!

Play as regular bingo where the host or mom-to-be picks from a hat.

Or play during gift opening & guests X their squares as the items as opened.

You can find more details about virtual baby shower bingo here.

Baby Shower Jeopardy

Yes, you can easily play this fun baby shower game virtually.

This game was CREATED to be played virtually, and check out the reviews – people love it.

There’s a pink girl version.

Or there’s a teal version, which says “boy” but I think teal works awesome when you don’t know the gender.

There’s a yellow version as well, so you’re sure to find a color-scheme that matches your baby shower theme.

Click here to find out more about Baby Shower Jeopardy.

Baby Shower Family Feud

If you love the idea of a baby shower, but Jeopardy sounds like too much work, this baby shower family feud game is perfect.

They call it Baby Shower Answer Battle, but don’t worry – it’s played exactly the same way as family feud.

Your guests will love this game because family feud is SO FUN (and you do not need to divide the teams up based on family).

Again, there’s a yellow version for gender neutral baby showers.

You’ll find a blue version and a pink version too.

All versions are customizable too.

Who Knows Mommy Best?

This is a fun & easy long distance baby shower game.

You can ask these questions about the mother-to-be & have guests write down their answers.

Your questions can be as tame or funny as you think your audience would like.

Here are some ideas to get you started:

Where was she born?
What’s her favorite movie?
What are her cravings?
What’s her favorite TV show?
What’s her favorite dessert?
What was her first job?
What’s her favorite hobby?
How many children does she want?
What’s the nursery color/theme?
When is her due date?
What’s her favorite drink?

The winner is the person who knows her best & gets the most answers correct.

Related: Large Group Ideas – Unique & Fun Baby Shower Games

Let’s Bet!

During the shower, let everyone guess the time & day the baby will be born.

You can even include height & weight guesses.

Record all of the answers & then the prize goes to the person who guessed the closest correct answer once the baby arrives.

Finish That Rhyme

Type the line to a nursery rhyme or say it on live video and have your guests try and guess the next line.

The first to get it right, gets a point.

The one with the most points at the end, wins a prize, or just wins – however you choose to do it.

Baby Room Tour

Have your guests send in paintings they did with the baby in mind.

If you have certain colors you’re using or a theme, make sure they know this ahead of time.

You can also have them send decor or something they made by hand, etc.

Put these up in the baby room and then do a live video and do a virtual tour of the room decorated with the items they sent.

Name That “Baby” Tune

Have people post a list of as many songs with the word “baby” in it they can think of.

Give them a time limit and tell them it has to be in one list, not posted separately, as that can get messy.

The one with the most songs wins!

Not convinced there are many songs with “baby” in the title?

Here’s a list of 50+ songs with the word “baby” in the song name.

Who’s That Baby?

Ask family & friends to send you pictures of themselves as babies BEFORE the virtual baby shower.

You’ll definitely want to include close family like parents, grandparents, and other important relatives like aunts, uncles, etc.

Sending pictures to you needs to be simple – just ask them to use their phones to take a picture & then send it to you.

Hold up each photo on your phone during the virtual baby shower to have your party goers guess who it is.

You can also post pictures of the photos in your event if you’re not doing video and have people guess that way.

Guess How Many

This is a classic game and one that can still be done online and virtually.

You can do it however you choose, but have a lot of one item and either show it on video or post a picture of it.

Have shower goers guess how many there are of the item for a chance to win.

This can be a baby bottle full of candy, a bucket full of rocks, who cares – it’s whatever you choose.

Name That Baby (Two Ways)

This can be done in more than one way.

You could use animal themes, cartoons, or celebrities.

For the animal version, put up a list of animals and have people respond and guess the actual name of that animal’s baby.

For example, a goat’s baby is called a kid.

For the cartoon version, put up pictures in the discussion or hold up the photos on live video of famous cartoon mothers, and ask your guests to name the baby of the mother.

Same idea for celebrity baby names – name the celebrity & have your guests guess their baby name (the crazier, the better).

Diaper Raffle

When you create your online event, make sure everyone has the address of mom-to-be & invite them to send a package of diapers to enter the raffle.

In order for guests enter the drawing, their diapers must arrive before the day of the baby shower.

Each pack of diapers is equal to one raffle ticket.

You can do the drawing on live video or simply announce the winner how you please – this is up to you.

Name Our Baby

Have guests text or email you with their guesses for the new baby’s name.

Anonymously read out the guesses during the shower & have guests guess which baby names were submitted by which guest.

There are so many fun games that can be played when it comes to a virtual baby shower.

You can always take games everyone is familiar with & tweak them to be online-friendly.

There’s something about having a familiar, classic & fun game that brings everyone together, even when they have to physically be apart.

I hop this list gets your wheels turning.

It IS possible to include virtual baby shower games & have them be both easy AND fun for your long distance baby shower.

Elephant Baby Bingo

Baby bingo is just as fun as the bingo we’re all used to; more fun in fact!

Instead of waiting for a letter and number to be called, people keep an eye out for popular baby items you might find at a baby shower.

These printables have the most adorable baby boy theme with a girl theme soon to come!

Each card has the traditional style of bingo setup however, it has popular baby items listed in the squares instead.

You can either:

Play it like traditional bingo by calling out the name of random baby items
Let people spot the items on their cards when the gifts are being opened

The first person to get a full row (down, across or diagonal) is the winner.

You can even play until someone fills up the whole card!

Baby bingo is a funny baby shower game that’s popular with all ages, so everyone will be into this game at your baby shower.

Who Knows Mommy Best?

This fun little game tests your baby shower guests on their knowledge of the mother to be.

You can order these cards in an adorable, blue theme here.

They also come in pink themed cards that you can order here to better match a girl baby shower theme.

These cute cards have various questions on them such as, “How did mommy tell daddy she was pregnant?” and other similar questions.

Once guests have all taken their time to answer, the mommy to be goes through and gives the correct answer.

The person with the most answered correctly, wins!

Baby Word Search

If you like an easy game that doesn’t take people a ton of effort and even works for kids, this fun, baby word search is one of the best elephant baby shower games.

It’s wonderful for all ages and takes no time to explain and doesn’t require guests to know anything about the mommy or daddy to be.

This game is often used to fill time such as a late start or the beginning of the baby shower.

These word search cards come in the cutest elephant theme and have a list of various words relating to having a baby at the bottom.

All you’ll need is a pen for your guests to be able to search and find the words.

Diaper Raffle

If you like elephant baby shower games that are a little less interactive, this diaper raffle is the perfect option.

Before the shower, ask your guests to bring a pack of diapers for a chance to win a special prize.

As guests come in the door, hand them one of these fun, elephant themed raffle tickets for them to put their name on.

Remember, only the people who bring a pack of diapers get a raffle ticket.

At some point in the shower, draw one or more raffle tickets for those that added to your diaper stash to win a prize.

Nursery Rhyme Emoji Pictionary

Emojis are a ton of fun when we use them on our phones.

However, they can be a super fun baby shower game as well.

These cards come with an adorable unisex, gray, elephant theme and have various lines with emojis on them.

Each line of emojis stands for a different nursery rhyme.

Guests have a certain amount of time to try and figure out which nursery rhymes the emojis stand for.

Once the time is up, the guest or team with the most right, wins!

Baby Animal Match Up

Test the knowledge of your guests not only on human babies but animal babies too!

Most animals have a special name for their young.

See if your guests can match the animal to the name of their baby.

For example, a baby goat is called a kid.

Usually guests are given a certain amount of time to make these matches.

Once the time allotted is up, the right answers are given and the person with the most correct answers is the winner!

3-Game Pack

If you want all your games to have the same elephant theme and to match, this 3-game pack was made for you.

These cards have a fun, mint green and gray elephant theme that would be great for boys or girls.

Each game comes with 50 cards which works great for most baby showers.

All three games have the same theme so you don’t have to worry about colors not matching, etc.

The three games included are:

What’s on Your Phone
Who Knows Mommy Best
Baby Word Search

Two of these games and how they’re played were mentioned above.

What’s on Your Phone is a blast and the cards come with a list of items that may be found on a person’s phone.

Each person is given a card, they go through and find as many items from the list as they can, then they add up the total.

Each item is worth different points.

The person with the most points, wins!

This 3-pack is a great way to get all the games you’ll need for your shower in one packet.

If you’ve ever seen that, you know how fun & FUNNY it is.

I created Baby Catchphrase & customized it for baby showers.

There are 128 game cards in all – 115 are pre-filled with different baby-related words and 13 are blank card if you want to personalize them (but you don’t have to). You could write other family members’ names, or where they live, or the new baby’s name or due date, etc).

All you need to do is print out the baby catchphrase cards.

Instructions are included, but it’s a team game.

Choose one player to start & set the timer for 30 seconds. This player picks one card from the top of the pile and tries to get their team to guess the word or phrase that appears on the card. Keep picking cards until the 30 second timer runs out. The other team looks over their shoulder to make sure they don’t actually say the word on the card.

Teams get 1 point for every correct answer before time is up. Then play switches to the other team & they get 30 seconds to get as many points as they can. Play as many rounds as you like until cards run out!

You can get a special offer with Baby Catchphrase here.

You can add in your own twist such as:

Each player must use mom-to-be to describe the clue.
Whoever answers the clue correctly gives the next clue (if you want your guests up & moving around).
Set the timer for just 10 seconds for “lightening rounds”.

12 Whale Baby Shower Games & Printables

By Saira Perl

Looking for whale baby shower games?

Whether you’re planning a baby shower for a boy or girl, a whale baby shower theme is an adorable way to go.

Below are a few of my favorite baby shower games that include whales, nautical themes, water themes, and more.

All of these games are mixed between boy, girl, or neutral focal points.

This means some whale baby shower games are blue & others are pink!

Either way all of these whale baby shower ideas are easy & fun to play.

Whale Baby Shower Games

If you’ve struggled to find awesome whale baby shower games, you’ll want to save this post for later.

Here are a few of my favorite whale baby shower games – all whale or nautical themed to match your party!

Whale Baby Bingo

Bingo is a fun & popular game that most people understand without any explanation.

This classic game of bingo has been turned into a baby theme with adorable whales, featuring popular baby items.

There are a few different ways to play:

You can pass out this game is at the beginning of the shower, so people mark off the items as they spot them.
Your guests can play while mom-to-be opens her gifts.
There is a key included so you could also have mom-to-be draw cards from a hat.

You will find cards with instructions here:

Pink whale bingo cards
Blue whale bingo cards here

You can have multiple winners as well:

First to complete a row or column or diagonal
Four corners
Fill the bingo card

They call out baby bingo and winner gets a prize!

What’s in Your Purse?

This is a classic game that’s been played for years.

Get a good laugh from your guests as they search through their purses to find what’s on the list.

Each item is worth a certain amount of points ad whoever has the most points at the end, wins.

Of course, guests won’t miss the adorable whale and sea theme on these cards.

Baby Fill in the Blanks

These fun and interactive cards will bring a laugh to your guests and give them a chance to loosen up.

Your guests fill in the blanks to come up with witty answers.

This is a funny baby shower game guaranteed to get your guests laughing.

In order to award a prize, the parents can pick which card makes them laugh the most.

This game is a neutral theme with a mint green background and turquoise polka dots and whales.

Word Search

This fun and thought-provoking game comes in a lovely classic whale theme, with an anchor in the background.

These cards come in a pack of 25 cards.

The cards are professionally printed on quality card stock.

Whoever finds the most words in the allotted time, wins!

Here’s a cute pink nautical theme word scramble as well!

Wishes and Advice

These cards have the most adorable whale and sea theme that are irresistible.

This is a great way for guests to give well wishes to the parents and baby as well as give some fun and encouraging advice for the future.

These are cards will become precious keepsakes & memories for a lifetime.

Baby Predictions

This game is a more ongoing game as people wait for the baby to arrive.

Guests are given one of the adorable whale or sea themed cards.

Each card contains spaces for things such as weight, height, eye color, etc.

Each guest puts in their predictions for the baby.

This little game doesn’t have a winner right away but, it’s fun to see who wins when the baby actually comes.

The cards also act as a fun long-term memory for the parents.

Candy Bar Game

This game comes with a list of pregnancy stages as well as popular candy bars.

Each candy bar matches a pregnancy stage.

Guests must figure out which candy bar goes with each stage given.

This game is usually timed and whoever guesses the most at the end of the time allotted, wins.

This game is adorable and nautical themed.

Diaper Raffle

This absolutely cutesy whale themed raffle allows for the parents to get a nice stock of diapers while guests get a chance at a prize or two.

This is a great game to hand out as guests come in the door.

If they brought a pack of diapers, they’re given a raffle card where they write their name and place it in a jar.

As the baby shower is ending, a ticket or two is drawn randomly and the winner gets their prize.

Who Said It?

This game is so much fun because it involves both the father and the mother which doesn’t get to happen often at a baby shower.

This game is nautical themed which will match your whale theme perfectly.

These cards include a list of phrases such as “I wanted the most kids.”

Guests have to go through and guess which parent said it.

People will get a kick out of this game especially when it comes time for the answers.

Price is Right

This game is just like the classic “The Price is Right” game we’re all used to and love.

A list of baby items cover the front of these nautical themed cards.

People must place a price next to each of the baby items listed and then place the total of all items in the bottom slot provided.

Whoever gets their grand total closes to the correct answer, wins the game.

How To Play

Game 1: Classic Bingo

Play like regular bingo.

Just cut up the last page & have the mom-to-be draw pictures from a bag.

Game 2: While Opening The Gifts!

Keep the party moving by combining 2 baby shower activities: play the game while mom-to-be opens her gifts!

Give one card & a pen to each guest. The game is played WHILE the shower gifts are opened.

This is the PERFECT game for a mom-to-be who does not want to be the center of attention while opening her gifts.

Guests watch their card while presents are opened & mark their squares when they match a baby gift as it is opened.

The winner is the first guest (or guests – a few people may win at once!) who has 5 in line (5 across, 5 down or 5 diagonal) & shouts out BINGO.

Prizes can also be given to the first person (people) who gets all the squares crossed off their card. This is a good way to keep the game going once someone gets 5 in a line.

Testimonials

“I have been searching the net for baby gift bingo cards that modern and up to date but most have items like “pram” and “cot” which are totally foreign to my neck of the woods. When I happened upon your page it was such a relief to find modern cards.” ~ Liz

“I wanted to let you know that Baby Shower Bingo was a big hit at the shower! Even the guys got in on the intensity of winning Thanks so much ” ~ Sharma

“We had fun with the bingo cards. Our shower was last Sunday. The baby’s name starts with an I so we played for an upright I anywhere on the card, up and down and one to the right and left on top and bottom. We had a large group since this baby was much prayed for and waited for for 7 years.”~ Erika

35 Impressive Elephant Baby Shower Cakes

By Saira Perl

These are the sweetest elephant baby shower cakes online!

Elephant baby shower themes are so flexible because they’re perfect for boy, girl or neutral baby shower themes.

And there are lots of cute baby color combos to choose from.

Before I show you the amazing cakes, I don’t want to scare you off…

Some of these elephant baby shower cakes seem look VERY difficult to make.

Will you really be able to MAKE any of these elephant baby shower cakes?

Here are the 3 options I recommend.

OPTION 1

Make a simple cake & then add an adorable, handmade, fondant elephant cake topper from Etsy.

Why buy mass produced, impersonal & commercial, when you can support a someone’s home business?

Buying from other women & moms is amazing & makes shopping for your baby shower even MORE fun.

Before you buy anything on Etsy, get $10 free to shop at Etsy when you spend $25 (first-time Ebates joiners only)

Ebates also gives you cash back on loads of other purchases:

1.5% cash back at Carter’s
2% cash back at Baby Gap
4% cash back at Honest Company

You can learn more about how this works here, but seriously, it couldn’t be easier.

How To Get $10 Free Cash Back For Shopping Etsy

Use my link & click “Join Now” in the top right corner to register for Ebates
Search for Etsy & click the “Shop Now” button
Spend $25 at Etsy
Ebates will send you $10

Who doesn’t love free money?

Then you have money left for things like this adorable elephant baby shower game.

OPTION 2

If you have plenty of time before the baby shower, you could learn how to make these cakes yourself.

There are so many amazing cake making courses from home.

You can learn from home with one of these video courses.

OPTION 3

If you don’t want to do the cake topper route & prefer a homemade cade, ask around with your friends & family & coworkers.

You’ll be surprised how many of your friends, family or coworkers are looking for excuses to practice their cake-making skills.
