Frequently Asked Questions

How can I handle mixed team loyalties at a sports baby shower?
Split the décor into two sides representing each team, use neutral tableware, and focus on celebrating the baby rather than competing teams. Keep the competition friendly and fun.
What are some team-neutral sports theme ideas?
Use general sports elements like scoreboards, pennants, and athletic colors without specific team logos. Focus on the excitement of sports rather than specific team allegiances.
How can I make sports games work for all ages?
Choose games that don't require physical activity, like trivia, prediction cards, and baby bingo with sports icons. Focus on fun rather than competition.
