Gender Neutral Baby Shower Themes

Page 1 of 2

There are many reasons you might choose neutral baby shower themes.  Mom and Dad don’t know the baby’s gender, or the idea of a totally frilly, princess of a girl or a masculine and macho boy is just too much for mom to handle or this is not mom’s first baby and so the shower is more about pampering her than helping stock up for baby.

What can the hostess do about baby shower games at a neutral themed shower?  This is no problem at all.  Most baby shower games are not all that gender specific and go equally well with pink or blue.

Games at a neutral shower can function to push more of the focus onto mom or pull it back to the impending arrival of baby. Keeping this in mind here are a few fun and easy games to highlight mom, baby or both!

Baby Bingo

Baby bingo is great, because it can be played so many ways, is easy to prepare and does not take an extraordinary amount of time to enjoy at the shower.  

When guests arrive, hand each a piece of paper with a blank grid printed on one side. The grid should have 5 rows and 5 columns so it is a 5x5 block of squares.  The center square can be labeled as a ‘free’ space if you wish. To make this paper cuter, you can decorate it with clip art focusing on your theme and print the title ‘baby Bingo’ at the top.

Each player is instructed to fill in the blank squares with something they expect mom to receive as one of the gifts at the shower; tell them to be specific.  

Play begins as mom opens her gifts and each player marks off the appropriate squares.  This game is especially fun when the host has assigned specific gifts such as basic baby items, onsies, pacifiers, bath time items or blankets as part of the invitation.

Matters of Maternal Pampering

To bring the full spotlight to bear on mom have a complete pampering mom theme right down to no baby gifts at all. Instead shower mom with indulgent treats like bubble bath, lip gloss, chocolates and other fun trinkets.

This can easily be converted into a game of ‘Name that Item’.  

This is an ideal game if you have some attendees who don’t usually enjoy participating actively in “cutsie” games.  Capitalize on this reality by asking guests to volunteer for the game.  Have them sit in the front of the room where others can watch, like a game show.  

Give them a list of items such as lotion, baby wipes, chocolate candies, bubble bath, and lip gloss and so on.  To play, have each player smell, handle or other wise explore these items one at a time while blindfolded. They then need to guess which items was which.

The player with the most correct answers wins.  (Limiting interaction to smell only, generally works best)

Mom and Baby

The baby animals game is a great one to bring mothers and their oven bun into the spotlight together.  This game works with nearly all shower themes no matter how neutral and is a snap for the host to prepare.

Simply clip a list of the adult (mother) animal’s name next to a list of baby animal’s names.  To play, each player must correctly match mother to baby.  For example the mother is a deer while her baby is a fawn.  To make this game even more exciting bring dad into the mix; then the answers would be a three way match of doe, fawn and buck or goose, gosling and gander.

Many of us have dreamed of designing and building our own truck camper.  One moment you’re sitting in your dinette looking at the kitchen thinking, “Why didn’t they put another cabinet right there?” and the next you’re drawing a truck camper floor plan on a napkin.  We have certainly inked a few ideas this way over the years.  Then the reality the of cost and time involved in such an endeavor hit us.  If truck campers could be built in Photoshop, we would make the world’s greatest truck camper .  Until then, we’re probably just dreaming.
