Babies Against Parenthood is the original Cards Against Humanity style adult card game, and it’s the perfect baby shower game! It’s a funny, multiplayer party game based on the familiar format from Cards Against Humanity which has has been enjoyed by tens of thousands of party-goers since it was created in 2014! This baby-themed version of CAH is more PG, but thankfully that’s open to interpretation 😉 This game is fun for baby showers, or a late night with friends also in the parenting way. Download, print, and you’re on your way!
Babies Against Parenthood is also available in my Etsy shop.

Here’s what you’ll need:
- Cardstock
- A Printer
- Scissors or a paper cutter if you’d rather not do so much work
- Friends (Unfortunately, you can’t buy these.. so sorry!)
How to make the game:
- Download (above)
- Print it the file of your choice
(one file has ready-to-go black cards, the other has a grey border on the page intended for black cards — print these pages on a colored cardstock that matches your event theme!) - Cut it out.
- Store it!
How to play:
The PDF file has instructions, but here’s the basic idea.
- Everyone draws 10 White Cards to get set up.
- Each round one person will read a question/fill-in-the-blank from a Black Card. (You can switch or keep the same card reader if you choose.)
- Each round, everyone but the card reader will choose the White Card from their hand that they think is the funniest answer to the Black Card. (*Black cards with two or more blanks will require an equal amount of answer cards from players!)
- The card reader will pick a winner by choosing the one they think is the most funny.
- The funniest answer gets a point.
- Everyone draws new White Cards so that they again have 10 cards and the cycle repeats.
- The player with the most points wins.
That’s it! This game has the potential to be super funny, depending on who’s playing of course.
I hope you enjoy this Cards Against Humanity parenting themed expansion pack. Be sure to keep a look-out for cameo appearances by some of my favorite natural parenting brands and products with convenient names
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I print it on black cardstock?
- No. However, these files do contain two ‘black card’ printing options.
- Option 1: Is meant to be printed on white cardstock and will give you the classic black cards with white text.
- Option 2: Will print black text and is meant for the colored cardstock of your choosing. I recommend something light enough to make the black ink easy to read.
Can I print this at Staples, UPS, Office Depot, etc.?
- Yes! Please feel free.
How many cards are there?
- There are 80 question cards (black cards) and 240+ answer cards (white cards) plus blanks to create your own)
Is this game LGBTQIA+ friendly?
- Yes! While not every card will be applicable to everyone a whole new sheet of cards have been added to include wife & partner options, along with some new answer cards for added inclusivity. If you have suggestions for additions, please message me, I’d be happy to make edits.

You are a genius. Thank you. Def using this for mom’s night. Talk about taking the air out of the mommy wars with a game like this!
I think you need to start a Kickstarter campaign to get this made into a real game. I would buy it!
We are going to play this in Vegas!
This may be the best thing that has ever happened to baby showers! Thanks a million!
Wow thanks so much! I just got the idea today to do it at my niece’s shower and I was at a loss where to start….. our shower girl found it…
This is the perfect game to play at our couples’ shower! We love Cards Against Humanity, so this will be a bit hit! Thanks!
Great game for a baby shower!! Thank you for making this printable version! Are the black cards printed on black paper? Or just usual white cardstock and it uses black ink? Don’t really want to use a ton of my printer’s black ink…
Thanks a million!
It does need to be printed on white cardstock. You could have the printed fairly inexpensively at Office Depot, FedEx, or other print shop.
Such a great idea! Thank you so much for creating these. Do you have an idea the max amount of people that can play at once? I suppose you can draw less cards and play as well.
What’s the max amount of players?
Thanks!
Asking questions are really pleasant thing if you are not understanding something totally, however this post gives
nice understanding yet.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
i cant get the black ones to print. the first one i did was all grey. i tried on black paper with zero results. then i tried to do it in black and white vs color. on white paper. im wasting all my card stock on this. now it keeps printing in grey but canceling itself halfway through
Thank You so much for doing this!!! I really appreciate it. Love this idea. Can’t wait to play with the ladies! #fullinawesome
Love this!!
Would you happen to have a version where the black cards do not have the black background? I’d like to print them on a different color cardstock to keep them separated and not use as much ink. Thank you!
Is there any way you could email me the PDF? I tried downloading this game with both links and for some reason I’m unable to get it on two different computers! I think this would be a wonderful addition to the shower I’m hosting this weekend! Thanks for the share
Emailing you now!
Hi Amanda! I am having the same issue. Any chance I can get the file too? Thanks!
I am having the same issue with not getting it to download without half the page missing. Is there any chance I can get the pdf emailed to me? I keep trying to download it and each time I go to print it cuts half the screen off no matter what I do. Thank you and I love this game!!
I’d be happy to, please shoot me an email! amanda@theecofriendlyfamily.com
Hello I was gonna do this game at a baby shower. Can you print the black cards on black card stock or can they be done on white and just mark them some how? Also how many players can play with this amount of cards
Oh. My. Goodness! My daughter and son-in-law LOVE CAH; they are going to LOVE this game. It will ROCK their couples shower next month!!
I also was going to ask if you could recreate the Questions cards so it doesn’t use all that black ink. I can get black cardstock and could make the questions print in white, but the original file isn’t formatted that way. Unfortunately, I don’t live conveniently near a print shop, but I do have time on my hands to print at home.
As a follow up, another daughter had this printed at an office supply store where she lives, and brought it me over Thanksgiving, so I could cut it with my trimmer. As I was cutting, I realized that the original game’s Q cards are all black, both sides. How would the guests distinguish the BAP Q cards from the A cards without cheating? I grabbed a black marker, and drew a question mark on the backs of all the Q cards! Problem solved!
How many players can play with this amount of cards? And do you think it would be easier to do them all in white and just mark the questions with a marker?
What is the maximum number of players? How many white cards are there?
Thank you! Love the idea!!!
Does anyone know how much card stock is need to print this game?
Does the game cards correspond to any perforated card stock, like Avery or 3M? Would love to avoid trying to cut them all out…
I have played this game at two baby showers now, and it is the hit of the shower. It’s so great to not have to play the melted chocolate in the diaper game! lol. Just love this game. Sharing your link so others can experience this too.
