Coed Baby Shower for Your Special Baby Shower Party!

Having a Coed Baby Shower is a great idea because it involves the entire family in the celebration instead of just being a women-only event. Originally, the baby shower was primarily for female guests because they were the ones who would spend the most time raising and caring for the baby. Now that men are playing active roles as fathers instead of just being the distant breadwinners, there's no reason not to include them and other males at your big event. Of course, throwing coed baby showers may require some changes in the traditional model. Here are some guidelines to help you with your planning and sending Baby Shower Invitations.

Making it Fun for Both Sexes

When you are having co ed baby showers , you need to plan the event so that you'll have activities that will be fun for everyone who attends. Some of the old fashion baby shower games and other activities, such as naming the baby food flavor, may seem a bit corny when you have both genders around. However, you can make things fun and exciting while being all-inclusive. For example, if you have your heart set on playing some traditional games, make them more competitive by putting the men against the women to see who does the best job. This works great especially if you have about an equal number of both genders.

You could also choose to leave out the traditional games and instead choose a more informal party atmosphere where people mingle and chat with each other. Try not to end up letting the men get segregated in some basement or back room where they can watch sports, play pool, etc. If they don't feel like they are a part of your baby shower party, you're not doing a good job as the host. For this reason, you might consider having a male friend help you plan the co ed baby shower as well.

If you do want to play a game that is a little less traditional, have all of the guests send in baby pictures of themselves. You should also have baby pictures of yourself and of the guests of honor. Show the guests each picture and ask them to write down the name of the guest who is pictured in the photo. This can be a fun, lively game, especially if you need something for breaking the ice at the coed baby shower .

Some Things Don't Change

With any invitation shower , you're going to need refreshments. Try to have a wide range of foods available. For example, you might want a relish tray with vegetables and ranch dressing as well as chicken wings and cheese sticks so you can make everyone's stomach happy. Again, these types of foods can be great for a more casual, relaxed shower that doesn't necessarily include games or anything like that.

However, whether the party is a coed baby shower , sometimes known as couple baby showers, or not, you'll want to set aside some time for gifts. Most guests do enjoy watching the guests of honor open the presents, especially when both the mother and the father are part of the opening process.
