Hilarious Baby Shower Memory Game

This cute memory game is the perfect addition to any baby shower. Whether the mom-to-be is having a girl or a boy, it fits! Each matching pair is rewarded with a candy bar that cleverly fits the pregnancy-related words.

Hey y’all, Tiffany here.

When I was pregnant with my first child, my family threw me a baby shower. We had so much fun! And a lot of it was due to the adorable baby shower memory game my aunt came up with for us to play.

But first, I have to show off the cute diaper cake she gifted me!

Baby Shower Memory Game

Okay, back to the Baby Shower Memory Game.

So you all know how to play Memory, right? Just flip over two squares. Then if they are a match, they are removed from the board. And in traditional games, the person with the most matches wins.

But in this baby shower memory game, everyone who gets a match is a winner!

The squares to be flipped over are numbered. Behind each number is a word related to pregnancy or giving birth. Each guest takes turns picking numbers to be flipped over. When someone found a matching pair, they got a corresponding candy bar.

Here’s a picture of the board:

The candy bars are what made this game really hysterical! They were funny, clever, and definitely made this baby shower game memorable!

The awesome play on words had some of us laughing so hard we cried. Except in my case, I almost peed my pants because I was 7 months pregnant!
