Not Your Ordinary
Baby Shower: Unique Baby Shower Ideas
A common baby
shower theme of the past is “It’s a Boy or it’s a Girl”. But not anymore! Hosts
of baby showers are tossing away this go-to theme and starting to get more
creative. Here are some popular new themes for baby showers:
Co-ed
Baby Shower. Most people
think baby showers are for “the girls”, but more and more baby showers are
starting to involve the dads. Co-ed Showers can be fun and a unique way to get
Dad involved in the different stages of the pregnancy. The traditional shower
games can still be played, but with a twist that will get everyone involved.
Mom can enjoy the “Toilette Paper Game” while Dad enjoys “The Bottle Game”
challenging all his friends to see who can drink their favorite beverage faster
from the bottle. Another Dad favorite is “Speed
Diapering,” where all the guys will get a chance to test their skills and
speed changing a diaper (using a doll for safety). For an added challenge and
extra laughs, try this game blindfolded. When it comes to gifts the dad is
right there to experience it too!
BBQ or
Garden Party Baby Shower: This theme also allows you to make the shower more of a social event for
all as opposed to an event only for women. Involving all of your family and
friends is just another way to celebrate of your new little one. With a BBQ
themed shower instead of traditional shower games, you can use more family
friendly games, like the “Baby in the Spoon”. Using an egg and a spoon, you’ll
have to carefully take the baby across the room without dropping him off the
spoon. In our family, we’ve decorated with baby photos of our family members,
another great way to incorporate everyone in your celebration.
Multi-Mom
Baby Shower. A very
common theme among military families and the preferred shower theme for
Operation Showers of Appreciation (OSOA), a non-profit organization who
supports expecting military moms by hosting baby showers for up to 150 new
mommies at every event. Many expectant military mothers don’t have family in
the area, have a husband that is deployed, or is an active duty service member.
This is when organizations like OSOA are able to make a huge impact and support
our local military communities.
