Baby shower games don't have to be stale, boring, and old-fashioned. These awesome games are fun for moms, dads, friends, parents, and everyone.

Put the days of baby word crossword puzzles or candy bars melted in diapers firmly in the past. Have you ever been to a party where they measured the baby bump with a string to see who can predict the size of the mom-to-be? (Get your hands off my belly!) While those games have traditionally been a part of baby showers, there are tons of new baby shower game ideas that are fun, meaningful, and bring people together.

Here are 50 ideas to help you plan a modern, unique baby shower! For more baby registry must-haves, baby name suggestions, and more ways to prepare for your new bundle of joy, check out our Baby and Maternity Guide.

From a mobile hands-free breast pump to portable video baby monitors and more, Momcozy creates innovative, essential baby products that work with your life.

Technology moves so quickly these days—and yet the women behind Momcozy noticed that innovation in the motherhood space was frustratingly slow. So, in 2017, they set out to create essential baby gear that was actually optimized for moms’ everyday lives. Making sure to involve mothers in the research and design process, they started by creating a breast pump bra that would provide a more comfortable and hands-free pumping experience. Of course, it was an instant success.

Since then, Momcozy has continued to create cutting-edge products for new and expecting mothers, designed to deliver more choice and comfort. Read on for a few of our favorite must-have items–from a cordless portable pump that tucks conveniently into your bra to a rechargeable bottle warmer designed to heat milk and formula on-the-go–and exclusive discount codes.
