How to play

  1. Ask willing guests for a baby photo and permission to display it at this event. Choose around 8–12 pictures for a short round.
  2. Arrange your printed photos or private slideshow in consecutive order: 1, 2, 3 and so on.
  3. Enter the matching names in the tool, using exactly the same numbering. Keep this answer key hidden.
  4. Give each guest paper numbered to match the photos. Allow about five minutes for guesses.
  5. Reveal each name with the host tool. Guests mark one point per correct match; share the win or use an extra photo if scores tie.

A ready-to-copy invitation message

We’re playing Guess the Baby Photo at the shower. If you’d like to join in, please send me one baby picture by [date] and confirm you’re happy for me to show it to the guests. Taking part is optional. I’ll use it for this party only.

Set up a 10-photo round

Label ten pictures 1–10, print or write the same numbers on answer sheets, and keep a separate host key. Give guests five minutes to guess and around five minutes for reveals. For a video call, share your photo slideshow first, then switch to the reveal tool. Do not show the setup screen with the names.

Let guests opt out of sending a photo, and avoid posting their pictures publicly without permission. For an alternative that needs no personal photos, try wedding trivia. For a mingling activity, use Find the Guest.
