Baby showers don't have to be for women only. Couples can get together to celebrate the anticipated arrival of a bundle of joy. Invitations Plenty of good choices are available commercially, but invitations you make yourself can show a creative and sentimental touch. And you may save a little money. Try creating a piece of stationery in the shape of a trifold diaper, then fasten it shut with a small gold safety pin. If the mother-to-be is expecting twins, fashion a piece of stationery that opens to reveal two paper-doll-type images. A buffet is ideal for serving the guests. Schedule the opening of gifts after everyone has eaten. While the guest of honor is opening gifts, have someone keep a list of the gifts and who they're from. Games - Guests can take turns drawing images that relate to parenting, then guessing what each image is.
- Have guests write down predictions for the baby's future.
- Divide a sheet of poster board into columns, and have each guest guess the baby's birth date, time and weight.
