Questions about baby shower prizes

If you're planning your first baby shower or want to make your next one feel more polished, these common questions can help guide your decisions around prizes.

How do I choose prizes that match my shower theme?

Start by thinking about your color palette or party vibe. Look for prizes that reflect your aesthetic, like a soft pastel candle for a garden theme or playful puzzles for a game-focused party.


How many prizes should I plan for my games?

A good rule of thumb is to have one prize for every game you plan to play, plus a few extras for tie-breakers or bonus rounds.


What are some affordable prize options that still feel premium?

Small artist-designed items — like notecards, soap dishes, or coasters — are budget-friendly while still feeling elevated. It’s all about thoughtful design.

Should game prizes match the baby shower colors?

They don’t have to, but coordinating colors can help your prize table feel more cohesive. Pick a few tones from your baby shower’s palette and use those as a guide.
