Co-ed Baby Showers
Written by Mr.Jongruk on 2:55 AMBy Brooke Schuman
There is a new trend sweeping baby showers all over the United States and it's called a co-ed baby shower. Instead of the mother-to-be celebrating the new precious life that is about to come into this world. Now both the mother and father to be can celebrate together with friends and family, and yes boys are invited.
This seemed odd to me at first because most guys I know wouldn't want to come to a baby shower, but a couples baby shower can actually be a lot of fun. So if you want a co-ed baby shower here are some things to consider before actually having one.
Make sure you have more then one guy, aka the father to be attending the baby shower. Your husband will most likely be clear on if he would even attend the co-ed baby shower. We all know how guys are. So make sure his buddies are willing to come and they aren't going to be loud and obnoxious. This is still a baby shower not a football party. Again we all know how some guys can be. I think every guy has that one friend that there spouse can't stand.
Make sure that you can include family as well, if you can't you might want to have two baby showers. If you have a lot of family that is older or you are going to serve alcohol at your party it is better not to mix fun and family.
Make sure to keep the boys entertained with funny baby shower games like: Have baby bottles filled with beer or wine or whatever you choose to drink, if this is a non-alcoholic party then milk or juice. Line up a bunch of guys and have a drinking contest out of baby bottles. This can get a little wild so again make sure your other guests are okay with boys being at a baby shower.
Another fun game is having around five or so plastic baby dolls all with diapers on, but the diapers are dirty. Put mustard or candy bars in the diapers, have the boys have a diaper changing contest with baby wipes and all, you can even have diaper rash cream. You can have little baby changing stations set up on a table with everything they may need to change a diaper. The boy that changes the diaper correctly, the fastest wins a prize.
Have prizes that both men and woman would like also include the girls in some games as well. Make sure your invitations include the couples name and have it say something like co-ed baby shower so people will know.
Don't be afraid to decorate all babyish, after all everyone knows it is a baby shower. There will just be guys there. Have fun and remember co-ed baby showers can be a blast if you plan it right.
