The Best Co-Ed Baby Shower Games You Won’t See At Other Parties!
If your husband or partner is anything like mine, there’s a big groan whenever I tell him we got invited to a coed baby shower or a couples party of any kind. I think it’s mainly because most of them are really boring without a lot of things to do. And, eventually it ends up with the group splitting up (generally some form of gender divide of women in one room and guys in the other).
That’s why if you’re hosting something like a coed baby shower it’s important to give serious consideration to baby shower activities during your party planning.

On GO! the blindfolded person tries to make their way down to the changing table and diaper the “baby” (doll or stuffed animal) all the while their teammate is coaching them (yelling out directions on how to get to the table, where the diapers are, where the babies are, etc.).
- The first team who successfully coaches their teammate to correctly diaper the baby and then makes it back (still blindfolded!) to their teammate wins the challenge!
