After all,
the baby shower is primarily meant for her.
So, you need to get it clarified with the mom-to-be
if she wants her husband and his male friends
to be in at the shower game they will soon host.
As she needs to enjoy the shower first and foremost
she may prefer the company of her husband who
may, later on, agree to the presence of the
men at the baby shower game.
Once the question of men's participation is answered the attendance at the game can be planned accordingly. You can m ake up the guest list after consulting both the parents. A main advantage of it is that the shower game hosts feel eminently comfortable mingling with familiar faces, e nsuring smooth proceedings without hiccups.
Make sure that you mention clearly the wordage: "Couples Baby Shower" in invitations so that nobody mistakes it for an all-women affair!
The next step is to d ecide on a theme that both parents-to-be would enjoy. While a general baby theme is a universal choice specifics are not ruled out. For instance, the wife may prefer her hubby to choose his sports hobby as the theme in anticipation of a son taking up dad's sport or vice versa!
Planning the food item for the shower is the next step. This is one of the most (if not the most important) aspects of a Couples baby shower that you can plan. After all, the way to a man's heart (and hence how much he enjoys the baby shower) is through his stomach. Though, off hand, meat is the best option for your coed baby shower food something more hearty than just salad or bundt cake should make a perfect evening.
