Baby shower party is probably one of the most fun and exciting event for the mom-to-be. In most cases, a lot of women gets too excited to host the said event rather than men. It is a lot true especially if the baby is a girl, where there will be lots of pink galore, and you will most certainly see it on everything from decorations, cakes to gifts. However, have you ever imagine what it would be look like when the event is a couple's baby shower?
Throwing a couple's baby shower party which certainly involves men will need to be done a bit different. It would be a downright inappropriate if all the details of the shower will only focus to the mom-to-be and to her upcoming child. While traditional shower games involves guessing the mom's tummy measurement, having this game in a couple's baby shower is completely out of line. Apparently, men are not crazy over pink stuff, and if men are on your guest list, you will need to think of great ideas to make sure that the shower is enjoyable for them as well.
If planning to throw a couple's baby shower party is what you want, you have to consider few minor modifications in your list of things to do. First, you have to informed all your guests that this is a coed event. You don't want to see the father-to-be all alone in the party, while all other male friends and husbands are enjoying on the golf course. Informing everyone, especially males, will know that they, too, are invited. Since this is quite a novelty, it is always best to put some extra effort of planning this event seriously.
Try to avoid including pink in your decorations, the lesser the decorations the better. Focus more on food. Finger foods are always best, and so are canned sodas. If you plan of having punch, again, avoid making it pink. Think of a couple's baby shower as a cross between a Super Bowl party and a traditional baby shower, you will then realize its oddness can generate surprising ideas. You might want to have themed shower with decorations that will not make men feel out of place.
Perhaps instead of having traditional baby shower games, you might want to have an open forum program where other couples can share their points and views about having and raising babies to the expectant parents. But if you'd still like having some fun games, include the disciplines that guys love best skill and speed with the new discipline dad-to-be will need to learn, diaper changing for in instance. Also, you don't want to forget other elements that both traditional and couple's shower should have. Don't forget baby shower favors and gifts. After all, shower is all about throwing blessings to the expectant parents. And again, avoid pink! Purchase party favors that are not gender-specific, as well as shower gifts. However, just don't forget that the upcoming little bundle of joy is part of the party also. A baby gift basket can make a perfect gift because you can include not only gifts for the parents but baby gifts as well. |
