Baby Shower Invitations and Party Ideas for Couples
Baby showers used to be thought of as parties for Mommies, ladies and
girlfriends. These days that seems to be changing. More and more the
husbands, fathers and guy friends are getting in on the act. Every
loves a baby and why shouldnt everyone be allowed to celebrate at the
baby shower. Its easy to include both parents with clever baby
shower invitations and party ideas
Baby shower for Mom and Dad
Traditionally, the baby shower has just been for Mom, but why not get
Dad involved, too. Send baby shower invitations not only to couples,
but to Dads friends and get them in on the act. Why not encourage
them to bring a gift that Dad will like too? Its not just Mom having
a baby, they will both be adding to the family, the baby shower should
celebrate both Mom and Dad.
Beyond baby games
Not all of the guys are interested in opening baby gifts, so plan
something with a wider appeal. While Mommy is opening gifts, plan a
poker tournament for example. Anyone boy or girl who is
interested can enjoy a game of cards and when its over you can donate
the proceeds to the new Mom and Dad fund. Or invite Moms and Dads to
give their best parenting advice. Lots of Dads have great advice,
just ask. Another fun idea is a baby pool in the style of a football
pool. Sell squares based on birth date and baby weight. The winner
could get a big windfall, or donate the money to the new kid in town.
Or skip the games all-together and just invite everyone to mingle and
catch up. This might be the last time you see the expectant parents
for a bit as they settle in with a new baby.
Themed baby shower
Lets face it, Dads and even some Moms might not be that interested in
the traditional baby shower themes and. Consider tailoring your baby
shower invitations and party to something everyone will enjoy. Why
not have a baby shower barbeque? Or try a Hawaiian-theme with
interesting accents and menu. If youre expecting a boy, plan a
sports theme. It might seem clich, but most guys love sports and
this will get them involved and engaged. If youre expecting twins
why not go all out with a twins theme baby shower invitations asking
your guests to come dressed as their favorite pairs. Baby can be
the focus, but your can still has fun with the theme.
Worlds Best Dad
Times are changing and most Dads are almost as involved and Mom when
it comes to baby. Why not host a Worlds Best Dad shower. Send
baby shower invitations with Dad as the focus. Invitations can be
sent to couples and include Dads friends anyone who would have a
fun gift and great advice for the new Dad. While its important to
recognize both parents, just this once, Dad might need a little extra
attention.
Make room ladies, its time we include the guys in this tradition.
Adding dad, grandpa, uncles and other Dad friends can be fun for all
involved. Think of ideas that will get everyone involved and youll
have a unique and memorable baby shower.
