Baby Bingo is an easy game
to play and goes quickly. You can use it as a "filler" to have something
to do while you are waiting for all your guests to arrive (especially if
there will be people there who don't know each other). You can also
include it as one of the shower games you play during the baby shower. This is an especially fun
game to have available to play if there will be children at the party.
And if you are having a Couples Baby Shower, the guys won't be too
embarrassed to play it.
You don't need anything
other than computer paper, blank business cards, and colored markers to
play the game.
For everything you need, go
to:
