11 tips: Co-Ed baby shower
1. No matter what absolutely no pink on invitations or in decorations. Think of the guys! Try a themed shower or a BBQ if your baby shower is Co Ed
2. Make sure there are more than 5 men there and make it clear in the invitation that men are desired attendees.
3. Check the calendar! Don’t schedule the party during a major sports game or all your men will split from the party.
4. Mini tool kits make great party favor for the guys. That way they can put their tools and muscles right to work by putting the gifts together right then and there!
5. Having plenty of food available is important at any shower, but it’s downright crucial at a Co Ed Baby Shower. And by food we mean things guys would eat too! Not just petit fours and finger sandwiches!
6. Consider your audience before deciding to throw a co-ed shower. Include the Dad only if you really feel the mom-to-be will appreciate sharing the day with him. If she’s a more traditional girl she might not appreciate the change.
7. Pick games that are personalized and give out fun prizes that the guests will really enjoy. Putting together quizes on the parents-to-be are always fun.
8. Since the mom-to-be shouldn’t be drinking, you might want to forgo alcohol. But if you really want to serve alcoholic drinks make sure to also serve some fun “virgin” drinks.
9. Make your guest list diverse. Don’t just invite the mom-to-be’s friends, make sure the dad-to-be’s buddies are also on the invited.
10. It takes two to tango, two to make a baby, so why not a co-ed baby shower. I was so dissapointed when my husband decided to treck down stairs and not open the gifts with me at my own shower. Is it just a Woman thing? Not anymore. When I threw my first co-ed baby shower for a friend, I was soooooo enlightned to be part of the experience.
11. It might be a baby shower, but remember to celebrate the couple. This is all about the big change in their life and the little person that was created from their love. Include everyone – it’s the beauty of a Co Ed baby Shower.
