Baby Previews at Showers & Reveals
Every shower needs one activity that isn't diaper-themed. An AI preview of the guest of honor — generated from the parents' own photos — gives the room something to coo at, argue about, and vote on. Prep time: ten minutes.
Three games that run themselves
- The Feature Vote. Show the preview big (AirPlay or a printed card per table) and let guests vote: whose nose? whose eyes? whose eyebrows, God help the child? Tally against the real baby months later for a round-two payoff.
- Match the Maybe. If several couples attend, generate a preview for each pair beforehand and have guests match babies to parents. Harder than it sounds; funnier than it should be.
- The Ages Slideshow. Run the four ages as a “first two years” montage — newborn to toddler in four slides, set to something weepy. There will be at least one grandmother in tears.
Reveal-day cameo
At a gender reveal, the boy and girl previews make a perfect warm-up act: show both versions, take the room's temperature, then do the actual reveal however you'd planned. The AI versions frame the moment without stealing it — and the side-by-side becomes a keepsake post.
Prep checklist
- Get good source photos from both parents ahead of time — front-facing, well-lit — so the results genuinely resemble them.
- Generate the full set: both genders, all four ages. Every result saves to the gallery; save the winners to Photos for AirPlay, printing or the party group chat.
- Print or project big. Faces carry the game — table cards at 4×6 minimum, or the TV.
- Set the frame with one line: “the app itself says this is art, not a prediction” — which keeps the game light and heads off the one uncle who wants to debate genetics (he can read this).
The keepsake move: after the baby arrives, post the AI preview next to the real newborn photo. Whichever way it went — eerily close or gloriously wrong — it's the best follow-up content the shower ever produced.
