Men’s Baby Showers Are Here, and They’re Way More Fun Than Traditional Ones!
Wave goodbye to dull games and say hello to a celebration filled with beer! Yes, the baby shower has transformed and is finally enjoyable. These gatherings, often referred to as “baby showers for men” or “Dad-chelor parties,” offer a fresh take on the traditional format that might just make the classic baby shower a relic of the past.
This trend is rapidly gaining traction—according to Pinterest, searches for “man showers” soared by 149%, while “co-ed showers” increased by a staggering 255% in 2015, as noted by Mashable. While co-ed showers celebrate both parents, the laid-back atmosphere of dad-chelor parties is quickly becoming the preferred choice.
What to Expect at a Men’s Baby Shower
So, what can you expect at a men’s baby shower? Besides the presence of guys, there’s plenty of beer and, typically, a mountain of diapers. Forget about awkward games involving baby poop or pretending to admire a onesie from a distant cousin. Instead, the host stocks up on beer and prepares delicious snacks like chicken wings. How often have you attended a shower that only featured a spread of salads? Not at a Dad shower! Picture a feast of gooey cheese, pretzels, and, of course, beer—sounds delightful!
Instead of taking quizzes that only serve to highlight your lack of knowledge about childbirth, men’s baby showers offer fun drinking games.
The Perks of Dad-Chelor Parties
Another perk of these events is that the only gifts guests need to bring, aside from more beer, are diapers. And there’s no need for fancy wrapping! The new parents leave with heaps of diapers, which is a win-win for everyone involved. Even the crafting at dad showers is less intense. Gone are the days of elaborate pastel decorations that never turn out quite right. The standards at these parties are much more relaxed, allowing for easy “crafts” that can be assembled on the day of the event. For example, a simple combo of beer and ribbon is all that’s needed!
While it’s unlikely that traditional baby showers will vanish completely—after all, explaining to Aunt Linda why your husband’s friends are drinking beer from baby bottles might be tricky—the rise of dad-chelor parties means you may soon receive an invitation to one. When you do, be sure to RSVP “yes”!
