Baby showers are a celebration of life, a coming together of family and friends to quite literally shower a mom-to-be with gifts and love. Traditionally, baby showers have been an all-female affair, with only women gathering to celebrate. But times they are a-changing and people are realizing more and more that co-ed baby showers are a lot of fun!
If you want to throw a couple-friendly baby shower, here are some ideas that are fun for everyone!
BabyQ
Nautical
For couples who love to spend time on or by the water, a nautical baby shower theme is a popular choice. That classic blue-and-white color scheme complete with sailboats and anchors never goes out of style and is fun for both men and women alike.
Safari
When it comes to having a baby, things get wild real quick. So why not take your loved ones on an African safari – without even leaving your hometown? This fun animal theme is a gender-neutral classic with limitless options when it comes to food and decor. Incorprate lots of greenery, natural elements, and animal prints, and you've got a truly unforgettable couples baby shower.
Harry Potter
Mere muggles who are still bummed their letter from Hogwarts never came may want to consider a magical Harry Potter-themed baby shower. From butterbeer to The Sorting Hat, the Wizarding World has it all. Yep, this baby shower theme is definitely a "keeper."
Dr. Seuss
Oh, the places you can go with a Dr. Seuss-inspired couples baby shower! If the couple grew up reading classics like The Cat In The Hat and Green Eggs and Ham (and who didn't?), Seussville would make a lovely theme for their baby shower.
All Around The World
For avid travelers, settling down and having a baby is a big deal — but they don't have to leave that part of themselves behind. Pay tribute to countries and cultures around the world with a global-inspired baby shower!
To get started, decorate each table with different themes from countries the couple love and photos from their travels. Allow guests to sample menu items from different cuisines and incorporate traditional games from different cultures. What could be more fun?
Battle of the Sports Teams
If they cheer on the Yankees each day and go to sleep each night next to a Red Sox fan, they're not alone. Plenty of relationships thrive against all odds when two diehard fans of opposing teams fall in love. So why not turn their rivalry into an epic baby shower theme?
Whether it's the Green Bay Packers vs. the Chicago Bears or the LA Lakers vs. the Boston Celtics, guests can place votes on which team they think the baby will love. Bonus points if you can schedule the shower during a game!
