Bingo Card Generator

Party bingo is a game where guests mark squares on a 5×5 card as things happen, and the first to complete a row wins. Choose a theme or type your own squares, pick how many cards you need, and print. Every card is shuffled differently, so there's always one winner at a time.

Sample squares from baby shower bingo:

  • Gift bingo: At a shower, guests mark gifts as they're opened.

Hosting tips

  • Print one card per guest and a few spares.
  • Put cards on chairs before guests arrive.
  • Have small prizes ready for the first three winners.
  • Use 'My own list' to add inside jokes about the guest of honor.

How to use bingo at your party

Baby shower and bridal shower: guests mark gifts as they're opened. It keeps everyone watching during a long gift opening.

Christmas party: guests mark things that happen during the party, like an ugly sweater or a toast.

Meetings: play along during a long call. Keep it friendly, and maybe don't tell the host.
