I love an excuse to throw a party. If I have a girlfriend in town that doesn’t have a lot of family in the immediate area and she’s pregnant, it’s the perfect excuse to throw a co-ed baby shower for the couple. My husband can get involved with the setup and tear down, and the vibe is generally younger and less structured than a traditional baby shower. Think playing sperm cornhole instead of gift bingo.
