Daddy at the Shower

• Our couples shower menu works great for a warm weather event by the pool or on the deck. Enjoy swimming or a game of touch football.
  
  
• Games should have some guy appeal. Try relay races where an individual bottle of milk gets drunk as players switch. A diapering contest could be just the challenge that brings on the laughs.
  
  
• When baby is due in cooler months, build a couples shower with an ‘about to hatch’ theme and serve hearty egg or French toast dishes at a brunch.
  
  
• Another cooler weather menu could include Sports Gathering foods, like popular Slow Cooker Pulled Jerk Pork Sandwiches or Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled-Pork Fajitas guys like.

Just for Dads Baby Showers

• Office Baby Shower. Treat dad-to-be to coffee break or lunch and present with gift card or bigger ticket item a dad’s sure to like from gift registry. Choose on-the-go items like car seats, carriers or strollers. It’s a workplace-friendly way to show you’re thinking of him.
  
  
• Just Guys Shower. Best guy friends can take a father-to-be to breakfast or dinner and present him with advice and a New Dad Kit for his trip to the hospital. Include snack items like several Nature Valley® granola bars or a bag of Gardetto’s® or Chex® snack mix, magazines, prepaid phone card, a stopwatch for timing contractions, change for use in vending machines, a notebook for a reminder list of things to not forget: phone numbers, insurance info, gifts received.
  
  
• Bedtime Story Shower. Help new dad stock up on books he’ll enjoy reading with his new child. Pick favorites with guy themes!
