Daddy Baby Shower Ideas: Celebrate Fatherhood with a Fun Twist
New dads deserve a celebration, too! Here’s how to make it fun, memorable, and just for him.
Baby showers are typically associated with adorable decorations, pastel themes, and mom-centric gifts. But who says dads can’t have their own version of the celebration? A Daddy Baby Shower is a fresh twist on the traditional event — tailor-made to honor the father-to-be in a way he’ll truly enjoy.
Call It What You Like
If the term “baby shower” feels too traditional, skip it! Call the gathering a “Dadchelor Party” or a “Welcome to Fatherhood Bash.” The idea is to have fun and mark the milestone with friends, food, and a few laughs.
Party Activities for the Guys
Forget baby bingo and diaper pin games. Think poker, cornhole, horseshoes, or a round of backyard football. These low-key, guy-friendly activities are a great way to celebrate without the fluff.
Eat Like Kings
Load up the grill and skip the salad. Serve ribs, burgers, wings, cheese steaks, and plenty of chips. Cold beers (or sodas) and a backyard barbecue setup create the perfect laid-back vibe.
The Last Night Out (Almost)
If the crew is up for it, plan a guys’ night out. Hit a few favorite spots, play pool, shoot darts, and enjoy one last wild night before diapers and lullabies. Just make sure someone stays sober to keep things safe — and always check with the mom-to-be first!
Gifts That Speak to Dad
Instead of baby bottles and bibs, give gifts with a dad focus. Some hilarious options include a “Diaper Duty Tool Kit” (complete with tongs, goggles, and gloves) or a “Dad Survival Pack.”
Matching dad-and-baby outfits, parenting books for men, or even a funny “first-time dad” guide are all great ideas. Bonus points for sports-themed baby gear or bat
