Baby Shower Invitations 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 shouldn't everyone be allowed to celebrate at the baby shower.  It's 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 Dad's friends and get them in on the act.  Why not encourage them to bring a gift that Dad will like too?  It's 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 it's 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

Let's 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 you're expecting a boy, plan a sports theme.  It might seem cliché, but most guys love sports and this will get them involved and engaged.  If you're 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.

World's Best Dad

Times are changing and most Dads are almost as involved and Mom when it comes to baby.  Why not host a ‘World's Best Dad' shower.  Send baby shower invitations with Dad as the focus.  Invitations can be sent to couples and include Dad's friends - anyone who would have a fun gift and great advice for the new Dad.  While it's 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 you'll have a unique and memorable baby shower.

my sisters having a Baby Boy what should i get her for the baby shower?

i dont know what to get her?

Best thing I ever got was gift cards. Walmart gift cards is what I got.

But if you want to get her something more, get a cute outfit or a pack of diapers, or both, and then include a gift card. It's always nice to have some extra money laying around for diapers or clothes, or anything that she may need.
