What it is
A baby shower for everyone - both parents, their friends and family. A barbecue and some playful, light-hearted games make it feel like a garden party with a reason.
Plan ahead
- Three weeks before: send invitations with any registry details.
- One week before: buy games supplies: baby bottles, cups, baby food jars, a doll and nappies.
- The day before: marinate meat and make salads.
Games
- Nappy pong: like cup pong but with clean nappies as targets and ping pong balls.
- Baby food taste test: guess the flavour of five jars with the labels removed.
- Nappy changing race: dad-to-be versus friends, blindfolded, on a doll.
- Baby betting board: guests guess the birth date, weight, time and hair colour.
Food and drink
- Burgers, sausages, chicken and halloumi skewers
- Salads, corn on the cob, coleslaw
- Beer and lemonade, plus an alcohol-free bar
- A cake in the nursery colours
Tips
- Seat the mum-to-be in the shade with a comfy chair.
- Pregnancy-safe food: cook meat thoroughly.
