1. Prediction calendar
Leave a calendar on a table so that guests can try to predict the baby’s due date.
2. Guess the belly size
Ask guests to guess mom’s belly size using a piece of string or yarn.
3. Surprise message
Place a stack of diapers on a table so that guests can insert a short message written on a sticky note that’ll make the parents laugh during middle-of-the-night diaper changes.
4. Postpartum recipe station
Write down the names of some favourite dishes of the parents-to-be on a board to inspire guests, who can cook and deliver a homemade meal for them, and they can simply reheat and enjoy after the baby arrives. You can even supply the airtight containers.
“Thanks to the postpartum recipe station, we didn’t need to cook for three weeks after the baby was born!” - Béatrice
5. Baby place setting
Ask guests to provide a baby photo of themselves. Print it out in black and white, so as to not hint at the time of birth, and use it as a place card. This will spark conversation and help create connections between the people, who may not know each other well.
