Game: Ask Dad-to-Be Questions

"When searching online for baby shower games, I came across a game called "Daddy Knows Best". Prior to the shower, you ask the expectant dad a series of questions and then at the shower, the expectant mom tries to guess how he answered them. I decided to take this game up a notch and videotape the expectant dad answering the questions that I came up with, which are:

• What has been {expectant mom's} biggest food craving during the pregnancy?

• What’s the one word that would best describe {expectant mom's} mood while pregnant?

• Do you think your baby will be born with no hair, a full head of hair, or in between?

• How many diapers do you think your baby will go through in the first year?

• What are you going to be most worried about if the baby is a girl?

• What about if it’s a boy?

• What parenting skills are you bringing to the table?

• What percentage of the time do you think you will get up with the baby at night versus the percentage of time that {expectant mom} will get up?

• Are you or {expectant mom} more likely to be the parent who says “no”?

• Which grandparent will spoil your baby the most?


• Besides you and {expectant mom}, which family member will be your baby’s favorite?

• What year do you think you will buy your first minivan?

• How many happy hours do you expect to go to the first year after the baby is born?

• How many times a month do you think you will hang out with your friends who don’t have kids?

• From 1-10 how prepared do you feel for the baby’s arrival (with 10 being most prepared)?

• What are you most looking forward to about being a dad?

At the baby shower, I played the video of the expectant dad answering my questions, pausing it after each question was asked so the mommy-to-be could guess what her husband had answered. It was VERY entertaining! The video will also make a great momento for the couple to get some laughs out of years down the road."
