Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need gifts to play baby shower bingo?
No! You can use a caller word list instead of opening gifts. This works great for virtual showers or when you want to keep gifts private.
How many winners should I plan for?
Plan for 1-3 winners to keep energy high. You can play multiple rounds or have different win patterns (row, column, diagonal) for variety.
What if I have a small space?
Play seated at tables and use stickers instead of pens to avoid mess. This keeps the game contained and easy to clean up.
Can I customize the bingo cards?
Yes! Our printable pack includes blank templates so you can add personalized squares or adjust difficulty for your guests.
