Coed Baby showers ???????

edited March 2011 in Baby showers
So I planned my own baby shower because I am picky and I just didnt want it at someones house . I also made it coed because my bf is just as excited as me and I want him to be apart of it and his friends (more gifts or gift cards yipee). Plus I wanted people with familys to be ok bringing everyone. I planned it at a restraunt that has a bar on one side so the men can disappear if they want ;-) but my question is what games or should there be any since men are going to be involved and I didnt pick out any theme oh my I need so much help ..... Any ideas from people who have had coed showers

Comments

  • Didnt have coed but bobbing for baby bottle nipples would be funny especially with drinking men LOL. I had a game where we made play doe babies it was fun and probably something guys could also enjoy.
  • Well I've been to a couple and as long as the men can disappeared for a while they seem to stay happy. But as far as games oh my yes play them gifts and games make a babyahower I'd go for fun interestong games go all out beside its your party so eat the cake to =)
  • @ghettobetty I like the bobbing for baby nipples lol I might just have to do that one.
  • @babygirlNeNe oh yeah I am eating the cake and its at a cajun restraunt mmmmmmm my favorite .... so yall have any ideas on themes
  • @may1mommatobe
    Oh well yummy yummy haha
    But boy or girl?
  • They can have a bottle beer chugging contest, get some baby dolls& have them change the dolls diapers. Melt chocolate candy bars in diapers (different candy in each diaper) then have them guess what it is. I had a co-ed shower, it was a lot of fun :)
  • @MrsDelRae yeah Im definatly doing the bottle beer chuggin contest lol maybe I can get them drunk and get more money out of them :-D
  • I had a coed with my first and the men had fun to. We had a game where we had huge baby things like... cloth diaper, pacifier, bib, bonnet, bottle, booties and whatever else we could find. Everyone including the guys picked a paper from a bowl and whatever they picked they had to wear. Guys like acting out and being retards lol so they had fun wearing the baby items around. Hope that helps some. It was fun

    Bahaha too funny!! Another game is get clothes pins.. tell everyone once they're all there that they can't say the words "baby" or "your sons name." If they do, whoever hears them say it, can take their pin! At the end, the person with the most pins, wins!! & its sooo hard to not say baby or the baby's name at a shower! Haha

    Another game is put some baby food on paper plates, different flavors on each plate. Make everyone taste each flavor & they have to write down what flavor they think it is.. whoever gets the most right, wins!!
  • we're having a coed shower too. my theme is dr suess since I dont know the gender of my baby. theres a really fun game called winner takes all. basically everyone puts spare change in a container n then guesses the amout, whoever guesses right doesnt get the money but a box of all laundry detergent, as for the cash, that goes to the expectant parents:)
  • We did the don't say baby game to. It was fun and really hard lol. Its all you talk about at a baby shower hahaha
  • Thank yall so much @mommajan Im loving that idea cause I know my greedy family will think they are getting the money
  • When I've been to cord babyshower the guys did the bottle drinking game were they put beer or a mixed drink in some bottles and see who finishes faster. Also they had a few fake babys and put putting or chocolate oh the babys diaper and see who finishes faster on changing it. Also some participated in the dnt say baby game. I forget what elsa. Am having a code baby shower to so I've been trina pay attention
  • Playing prego limbo everyone blows up a balloon and puts it under there shirt nd crank the music for some limbo :)
  • make a diaper cake with lil trinkets on it ( pacifiers, bibs, bottle brushes, onesies, nipple cream, etc.) there are two games for this one, the first is guess how many diapers it took to make the cake... the second is give everyone some time to study the cake and then cover it with a sheet, then give them 1-3 mins to write down everything that was on the cake everything right is one point, any thing wrong is -1 point... the best thing about it is you can have the cake out from the very beginning and its just like decoration...

    another game is hang a clothes line or two and put a bunch of clothes pins on it... all the ladies then take turns holding a baby doll and trying to see how many pins you can get off with one hand and not dropping any... then you can do it with the boys and see who wins(most pins... anything dropped doesnt count) this is a great game to practice hanging doing laundry while trying to console a crying baby..

    if it is a surprise party... b4 mama to be shows up have everyone cut a piece of yarn/ribbon to how big they think her belly is and who ever gets it closest wins. it doesn't need to be a surprise though you can just have her hide for a few minutes and when she comes out do the comparing.. really fun but can also be a damper on the ego seeing how big ppl think you are...

    for the dont say baby my family did it a little different too... we gave everyone a nickname depending on the theme and that is what they had to be called for the whole party... so forest themed party.. bambi, meadow, etc... dr. seuss party... thing 1, horton, red fish, sam i am, etc...

    i have a bunch more... but figured this is long enough...
  • Yall have given me some excellent ideas I am ready to torture my bd is that wrong? >:-)
