Co Ed Baby Shower Games & Ideas
Co-ed baby showers are becoming quite popular. Daddies are getting in on the fun of a baby shower, too. If you are planning a co-ed shower for someone or for yourself, and you are at a loss, check out these tips and a few ideas on games to play.Choose a Neutral ThemeIf a theme is important to you, go neutral. This goes for colors, too! It doesn't matter if the little one on the way is a boy or girl, you can find themes that fit both. If the parents like sailing, try a nautical theme. If they like movies, try a Hollywood theme. If they are into gaming, pick a theme around that interest. Whatever you decide, make it something both parents will enjoy.Pick Neutral DecorationsYou aren't going to want to do cutesy decorations at a co-ed shower. Choose more grown-up decorations, but make them about the baby. For example, if you choose a nautical theme, don't go with fish and sail boats, but try something more like real fish, seashells, or even fishing rods made for adults. Don't think “baby friendly,” but rather “adult items” that go with the theme.Food and BeveragesThis is not an event for finger foods and fruit baby carriages. Make plates of appetizers similar to what you'd find at a football party, New Year's Eve party, or a bar. Hot wings, chips and dip, and even mini tacos are all great ideas and easy to make. Ask others to pitch in and make it a potluck. When you do the food, also include the drinks. You don't have to exclude alcoholic drinks, either, if the mom-to-be is fine with people having a beer or two while they celebrate the baby's impending arrival.
