Couple Showers For The Pregnant Couple

Couple showers, as the name suggests is when both the pregnant mother and the father to be are the guests of honor at the baby shower. So the shower’s held not just for the mother, and is not just an all women event, but the baby’s grandfathers, uncles, granduncles and cousins are also invited.

Couple Showers Are Slightly Different Form Regular Showers

Couple showers can be different from the normal baby showers parties. In normal baby showers, you have decorations and baby shower games. Of course, you have many pretty decorations in couple baby showers as well. However, you can plan games that are different from the ones held in regular baby showers.

Baby Swings And Toys

One great idea for a baby shower party is to hand out screwdrivers and hammers to the male guests and get them to create baby swings and toys for the new entrant into the family.

The Beer Game

Another cool idea is to organize a baby shower game that both, the males and females will enjoy. Have a game such as who can drink beer the fastest out of a baby bottle. And give the winner a nice gift. This game also makes for some fun photographs and lots of laughter.

Pregnancy Due Date

Still another fun idea is to prepare a chart with the dates when the pregnant mother could be due. Then ask the guests to guess and sign their names on the date they think the baby will arrive. Remember to send the winner a prize!

Gifts For The Guests

Lots and lots of baby shower favors for the guests is something you must have. After all, the couple shower is a pregnancy celebration and the guests are well-wishers. So select some useful and attractive gifts to give away as prizes for the games and as favors too, and watch as your guests walk away with fond memories!
