How it Works
As guests arrive, pin a card naming a baby item to each person's back without showing them. Guests mingle and ask only yes-or-no questions to figure out what's written on their card.
Instructions
Prepare the Cards
Write or print baby item names on cards (stroller, pacifier, breast pump, swaddle blanket). One per guest.
Pin Without Showing
As each guest arrives, secretly pin a card to their back without revealing the name. Safety pins or tape work well.
Mingle & Question
Guests ask other guests yes-or-no questions only: "Am I soft?" "Would a newborn use me?" "Am I electric?"
Make Your Guess
When a guest thinks they know, they announce their guess. If wrong, they keep playing. First to guess correctly wins.
