Oh baby

A music video mixtape for a baby shower

Type a line about the parents-to-be, like "the songs Mom and Dad fell in love to", and you'll get a tape of music videos for the shower. Print some Tape Bingo cards and every guest has a game to play, from the cousins to Grandma.

When to put it on

  1. 01

    As guests come in

    Have it playing when people arrive, so the room isn't quiet while everyone finds a seat.

  2. 02

    Opening gifts

    Pass out Tape Bingo cards while the gifts get opened. People mark off what they spot in the videos.

  3. 03

    Once the baby's home

    Keep the link. It's free to watch again, any time you want it.

Questions

What music should I play at a baby shower?
Go for happy, easy songs that the grandparents know as well as your friends do. Love songs, songs about kids and growing up, and the parents' own favorites all work. Try "A baby shower: sweet songs about babies and growing up". Tapes are clean unless you choose Explicit.
Is there a baby shower game that uses the music?
Try Tape Bingo. Each guest gets a card of things to spot in the music videos, on their phone or printed. Five in a row wins. Nobody has to know the songs to play.
Can we keep the tape for later?
Yes. Every tape stays free to watch from its link, for good. Send it to the family.

Make a tape of your own

Type any idea, like a decade, a band or a friend's birthday, and we'll record the tape in about five minutes.
