Many expecting couples are ditching the old fashioned idea that a baby shower is only for the girls. Sure, most of the games and "cutesy" things at the showers cater to the ladies, but who says they have to? After all, the guy definaetly had a part in the making of the baby!

Many of our friend and family have been pregnant lately and we have been attending their coed baby showers. Less games with more food and drinks to keep the party going are the trend. (Yes, please retire the "smell the dirty diaper and guess what chocolate bar it is" game. So over it.) Of course there is still the traditional opening of gifts. Who can resist all those minature clothes?

When planning your coed baby shower, it is important to design a party that will make both women and men want to come. Don't think that you are trapped with the traditional light blue or light ink colors. Bold, bright colors add punch and shout fun.
