How Well Do You Know the Mom-to-Be? 75 Baby Shower Trivia Questions

Make The Mom-To-Be The Star of the show at her shower!

If you love the idea of a baby shower game but do not want anything too cheesy, this is the one to try. A “how well do you know the mom-to-be?” game is easy to set up, easy to play and feels much more personal than a generic list of party questions.

It also fits the way baby showers look now. Showers feel more personal, more flexible and more tailored to the guest of honour, which makes a custom question game a much better fit than something random or overly complicated.

What makes this kind of baby shower game work

The secret is to keep it short and keep it specific. Guests are much more likely to enjoy a quick round built around the mom-to-be than a long game that takes over the whole party.

A good rule is to choose 10 to 15 questions, with a mix of easy questions most guests can guess, a few sweet personal details and one or two funny wild cards.

How to play

There are a few easy ways to turn these questions into a game.

Hand out answer sheets

Pick your favourite questions, print or write them out and let guests fill in their answers on their own.

Read the questions aloud

This works well for smaller showers or more relaxed gatherings where people are chatting and moving around.

Play by tables or teams

For bigger showers, let guests answer in pairs or by table. It makes the game feel more sociable and takes the pressure off anyone who does not know the mom-to-be very well.

Use it for a baby sprinkle too

This format works especially well for a sprinkle because it is easy, low-lift and personal.

Questions about the mom-to-be

These are the core of the game and usually the most fun.

1. What snack has she craved most during pregnancy?
2. What drink has she been loving lately?
3. What has been her biggest pregnancy food aversion?
4. What is her due month?
5. What is the baby’s nickname right now, if there is one?
6. What colour is she leaning towards for the nursery?

37. Would she prefer a classic baby shower or something more low-key and modern?
38. Is her baby style more soft neutrals, bright colours or playful prints?

43. Which baby shower favour would she think is actually useful?
44. What kind of playlist suits her ideal shower best: mellow, upbeat or a mix?

56. What is the due month?
57. Is the baby name being kept private for now?

65. What is one moment she cannot wait for after the baby arrives?

If you want to include the Dad/ A partner without making that the whole focus

If you want to include the dad-to-be or partner and the host wants to broaden the game slightly, these questions are easy add-ons.

66. Who suggested more baby names?
67. Who is more likely to cry first over a tiny baby outfit?
68. Who is more likely to research every stroller review?

73. Who is more likely to organise the diaper station?
74. Who is already talking about family holidays with the baby?
75. Who is more likely to narrate daily life to the baby?

Questions to avoid

A personalised game should still feel light.

Skip anything too personal or uncomfortable. That usually means avoiding fertility journey questions, body comments, labour fears, medical details, money questions, relationship drama and anything that could embarrass the mom-to-be in front of the group.

The easiest way to choose the best questions

You do not need to use all 75.

For most showers, 10 to 15 questions is plenty. If the event is already packed with food, gifts and chatting, even 8 to 10 can be enough.

A good mix looks like this:

• 5 questions about the mom-to-be
• 3 lighter personality or style questions
• 2 funny ones
• 1 tie-breaker

That structure keeps the game moving and gives guests a fair shot, even if they do not know every single detail.

Easy tie-breaker ideas

If you need one winner, add a tie-breaker at the end.

A few easy ones:

• How many baby names made her shortlist?
• How many weeks along is she right now?
• How many baby outfits has she already bought?
• How many times has she changed her mind about the nursery?
• How many snacks would she pack for the hospital if nobody stopped her?
