Baby shower bingo themes at a glance
Baby shower bingo is usually played while gifts are opened: guests mark items as the parents-to-be unwrap them, so the game needs no caller and keeps everyone watching.
Together these 8 baby shower themes have 340 distinct words and phrases, none repeated from one list to another. All of them belong to the Showers & parties category. 8 suit adults, 8 suit family, 5 suit office.
Almost no entry repeats between these baby shower lists, so pasting two of them into the Edit words box gives a longer game without duplicate squares.
