Coed baby shower?

Question

So I didn't want a baby shower...it's my first baby. I am just not into showers..people don't like going to showers, I don't like the games...etc. my sister is insisting she throw me one. So I thought maybe to ease the awkwardness it would be fun to have a coed shower. Just a few friends and family, good food, music that kind of stuff. I just want something casual. Yay or nay?

Answer

I had a co-Ed baby shower. It was beer and bbq themed ("a baby is brewing"). We had a keg, bbq, and yard games- croquet, ladder ball, frisbee, etc. we also put on the invitation not to wrap gifts so we could spend more time mingling and not waste people's time opening presents. It was a blast and we had a great turn out! I hate the idea of typical showers and find them very uncomfortable. It was great being able to just relax and celebrate with family and friends, plus my husband got to enjoy it with his buddies too. Highly recommend this idea.

Answer

That's what I'd do if I was having a baby shower :)

Answer

Go for it! I don't understand why baby showers aren't commonly coed these day's anyways. It's both parents that receive the gift and the child is the responsibility of both parents

Answer

I'm not a big shower fan either and I tried to get out of it but my friend is making me.  She says "but you get free stuff!".  She does have a point...

Answer

I'm doing a coed shower! I didn't with my first. It is a little awkward to have all of the attention on you but it only lasts a few hours and everyone will be socialising so it's not really focused completely on you.
