Coed baby shower....what do you think?

Question

im doing a shower for a friend tomorrow. she and her hubby are from out of town and since they are only here a few days they wanted the shower to be a big get-together...they chose to have a co-ed party. im trying to think of games to play that the guys will enjoy. so far i have:

*pregnant twister-everyone puts a balloon under their shirt and attempts to play twister

*dont drop the baby-couples toss a water balloon back and forth moving further apart with each toss. whoever doesnt pop balloon wins.

*gum baby-make the best baby you can with a piece of unchewed bubble gum behind your back.

*pacifier pass-guests form a line and everyone puts a popscicle stick in their mouth. pass the pacifier down the line using nothing but popscicle stick-no hands

*bottle race-see who can drink juice out of the bottle the fastest

*stroller race/obsticle course

and for prizes...i was thinking of doing small bags filled with condoms and other forms of birthcontrol.

good ideas or no?

Answer 1

Sounds good.  The condom thing is funny.  Also, speed diaper changing is also kind of funny, but that one is only for the guys so that the women can watch and laugh.  You just need diapers and bags of flower or dolls.

Answer 2

Good ideas but here a few more!

Get a few baby dolls and baby clothes and you have to put the baby in diapers and in clothes the fastest you can! I have done this at a baby shower before! And if the girl that is pregnant is pretty big give a couple of people a ribbon and scissors and tell them to cut the ribbon and who's ever ribbon fits her stomach the best wins! Hope I helped!

Answer 3

Sounds like fun!

The guys might prefer drinking beer out of the baby bottles though, also makes it a bit more challenging b/c it's carbonated. ;)

Another fun game I know of (kinda gross though!) is you take a few diapers, put a different chocolate-y candy bar in each diaper and smush it around, then you pass the "dirty" diapers around and the guests try guessing which type of "poo" is in the diaper by smelling it. That's sure to get some gross outs and laughs. LOL

One more game you might like is Guess The Baby Food. Get a few various flavors of baby food and put a small dollop of each kind around on a paper plate, label the dollops by numbers or letters, then give everyone a baby spoon and a sheet of paper. They then all taste each baby food and write what flavor they think it is next to the corresponding letter/number on the sheet of paper. Whoever guesses the most correctly wins!

Finally, Baby Bingo is great for gift opening time. It keeps everyone busy during what otherwise could be a kind of boring time for some, since opening the gifts can take a long time. If you do a search for "baby shower games" online (or try "free printable baby bingo"), you'll find some sites that have print outs of the Baby Bingo cards so you don't have to be bothered doing them up youself. You give everyone a bingo sheet, and they fill in all the squares (except the middle free square) with the type of gifts the mama will receive. Then, everyone passes their sheet to the person sitting to their right. Then as each gift is opened, they check off their square until someone gets bingo. If you don't have a whole lot of prizes to give out, I suggest you do it as "blackout bingo" where the only winner(s) is who checked off every square.

Good luck, and have fun! Too bad I couldn't give you all my leftover baby shower games and stuff to help you out. I would if I could! :)
