Historically, baby showers have tended to be for women, with women and about women, but times are changing. Since fathers are taking a more active role in parenting and planning for the new baby, and he might feel left out in the baby shower party celebrations. So why not have a “couples baby shower” where men are invited to. You will need to remember that if you have a couples baby shower, you will need to ensure that the men feel welcome and comfortable. Some other considerations for hosting a couples baby shower include limiting the cutesy baby shower decorations, and the food shouldn't be all dainty either. You might consider a BBQ, giant sub sandwiches, pizza or a deli style buffet. Since you are all there to have a good time, structure is much less important. It might be appropriate to have nametags with the relationship to the parents-to-be if you are mixing people who know each other with those who don't, and make sure you have a large, special name tag for the Mommy-to-Be.

Inviting men to the baby shower depends on the type of baby shower you are planning. Guys likely will not be interested in playing traditional baby shower games and eating cutesy foods while ooohing and aaahing over a Mommy-to-Be's tummy! Having said that, a babyshower can be a special event for Daddy-to-Be’s as well as Mommy-to-Be if they're organized with women and men in mind. If the baby shower party is not a surprise, be sure to check with the Mommy-to-Be as to whether the Daddy-to-Be (and his friends) would enjoy a baby shower celebration. If baby shower games are planned at your babyshower, be sure to make them "men friendly." Have plenty of food available for your male guests. And, it would be a nice touch to include gifts that are special for the Daddy-to-Be like, an "I love my daddy" bib for the baby, a book on fathers and children or maybe a frame Dad can take to the office to display a new picture of his baby!
