Dadchelor Archives - Print My Baby Shower

You think I’m joking, don’t you? but I’m not! Men only baby showers are catching hot fire and are becoming a cool new trend among expecting dads and young fathers!! It’s not what you think though, many sources are saying it’s more like a hang out with the nuance of a ‘baby shower’.

It’s not like guys are getting together and creating baby shower themes that coordinate with the nursery or anything like that. It’s seems to be more like baby shower orientated poker night, BBQ and sport outings. I even heard about men only baby shower camping trips.

The coolest thing about men only baby showers (Dadchelor Parties) are the lack of alcohol restrictions. That’s right, the dad to be isn’t bogged down by health pregnancy concerns because after all, he isn’t ‘carrying’!

There are also baby shower games that men can play. Here are some more ideas you can use if you or your husband decide to have a male only baby shower:

Guys Only Showers Are a Thing!

I think it’s cool that men are making baby showers there own event with unique activities and games. There is no right way to put one on. I encourage all soon to be dads to have some fun and put on there own party to celebrate the occasion. Here are some ideas:

1. Man Cave Theme
Men are known for their ruggedness and to make the estrogen-challenged guest feel at home at the next man shower, it’s best to have a man cave theme. Get a posh yet man friendly setting where all the dudes are comfortable and can have some rugged fun. Choose a resort or a camping site and gather the dad-to-be and his friends over a combination of drinks and barbecue.

2. Poker Theme
Gather all the friends of the dad-to-be over for a poker party where they can slam beers and play poker. You can also decorate your house with poker memorabilia and get a poker theme diaper cake.

3. Baby Dress Up Theme
If you want to add a little fun to your event, then arrange a baby dress-up theme man-shower. Ask the father-to-be and his friends to come up dressed in a baby costume and have some fun playing around and unleashing their inner child. You can decorate your house with baby things such as rompers and feeders.

4. Keg and Diaper Party
Diapers are going to be a necessity in the near future for the father-to-be. Why not hook him up with a ton of diapers? Arrange a diaper theme party where you ask all the guests to bring packages of diapers and crack a keg open.

Dadchelor Games Any Man Could Love…

Just like baby showers where the mom-to-be and her friends are gathered to have some fun and play different kinds of games, a dadchelor party can also be arranged to incorporate some fun games for the dad-to-be and his guy friends. Below are some popular dadchelor party games that you can throw at your next man shower:

1. Who Knows Dad ?
This is one of the most enjoyable games that one can play at their dadchelor party. All you have to do is print the cards and have the friends of the dad-to-be answer the questions. The guest with the most correct answers wins. You can print the card here.

2. Bottle Drinking
You can have a drinking contest with the dad-to-be and his friends by filling the baby bottles with beer and ask them to drink. Whoever drinks the most in the least amount of time wins.

The Way To a Man’s Heart Is Through His Belly

A Dadchelor party is incomplete without food. We all crave good food. In order to make your dadchelor party successful, you should pay attention towards tasty meaty dishes. Here are some food ideas that your guests will love:

1. Hogs in a Blanket
This is a fun take on a classic party snack, just that it swaps sausages for hot dogs. All you gotta do is add sweet mustard and chutney as condiments.

You can get the recipe right here.

2. Smoky Kalua Pulled Pork
This is a Hawaiian version of a classic pulled pork. If you want to add a little sweetness then add pineapple slices. Server in sandwich form if you want.

4. Baby-Q BBQ
You can make your life simple and keep the menu restricted to beer and meat. Keep the meat marinated over night in your favorite marinated. The dad-to-be and his friends will have a blast preparing barbecue in the backyard.

5. Grilled Burgers
Burgers are a ‘must’ in my opinion. They’re not only satisfying but also keep everybody happy. You can take mince meat and mix in all your favorite spices, shape them into patties. You can simply grill the patties on medium high heat and slide them into buns. Serve them with cheese and fries.
