You already saw my cheap photo decoration for my son’s first birthday party in this post, but here is my cheap entertainment! I couldn’t find a free baby shower or birthday party madlib online, so I created one.
In addition to watching the baby play, printable mad libs provided some entertainment at the party for the guests, and lots of entertainment after the party for us to read. I did something similar for our wedding (you can find that free printable here)! I think these would also be fun for a baby shower.
I, of course, personalized the mad lib with a grey-ed out photo of my son in the background and his actual name. We printed copies and left them on the tables with some pens. My favorite input was from one of my grandma-in-laws “I hope you … become a big brother soon”. Subtle, no?
Here is the link for the Free Printable Baby Shower Birthday Mad Lib which you can then edit and use yourself!
Not into DIY? There are several super cute options on Etsy.
