Ok, So everyone has been to a baby shower at some time in their life.

Give me some ideas for a couples baby shower. We want to get a really unique cake (please give me links to pictures and I can have it made here)
and think of very fun male/female friendly games.

Sister has decided that we are already going to do play dough babies, so any other suggestions would be great. Anything for "battle of the sexes" would be wonderful. There will be couples of all ages there.

Have everyone bring baby lotion, powder, diapers, or something useful along with their normal gift. Then put everything in a large basket as they come in the door. The mom-to-be can then take this basket as an additional gift. It will be full of practical things.

Hand everyone a clothes pin as they enter. AND explain that they clip it to their shirts. If they say the word, baby (or any other word you choose), they have to forfeit the pin to the person who catches them saying it! That person then clips the clothes pin to their clothes. The winner will have the most pins on their shirt!

Have a baby changing relay while sitting! You can divide the guests into two teams. (Men vs. Women?)
Each person in the relay has to change a doll's diaper. They first clean with cloth, apply powder (non-talc of course), and then put on the diaper. They pass the baby to the next person (sitting next to them) who has to take off the other diaper, clean the baby, powder, and put on new diaper. They pass the baby to the next and so on!! The winning team finishes the relay first!
You could add dressing baby to the list of things to be done by each person!

Diaper bag grab.
Put a bunch of odd things in a diaper bag. Be sure to include squishy things. Leave a small opening on one side of the bag. Give each person 15 seconds with their eyes closed to reach in and feel the objects in the bag.
Then, have everyone make a list of the items THEY think is in the bag.
Things to include:
Small plastic animal or toy.
A stuffed toy that squeeks.
A baggie with Cheerios.
A bottle.
and any other items you like to include. Put a lot of things in the bag..(at least 10 to 15)
The person who guesses the most items wins!

I thought this looked like a cute cake..

I was recently invited to a baby shower where the invitation suggested substituting a children's book for the card you bring with your gift.
