Nowadays, it is not just women who attend baby showers. Couples can also celebrate the big event. One way to involve and interest everyone is to organize a poker party.

Getting organized

There are websites available to help you set up this party – there is no point in reinventing the wheel. A simple search revealed several useful websites on how to set up a Texas Hold ‘Em home poker tournament or one using other standard poker games. Product reviews, forums and lots of information about different types of poker chips, playing cards, clothing and all types of accessories abound. It may also be advisable to search the local yellow pages for places where poker party accessories, such as poker chips, playing cards or other items, can be rented instead of investing money in these things if they are not used again. The party organizer can also ask guests to bring poker chips or decks of cards that can be used at night.

Decoration

Use tables that seat 6 to 8 people comfortably. Cover the tables with green felt or perhaps green plastic tablecloths to create a poker room atmosphere. You will need poker chips, playing cards and copies of the rules for each table. You can also get some visors for players and croupier buttons for croupiers BandarQQ Online. They can be found on many websites. Putting Christmas-style lights around the room also adds atmosphere.

Food to serve

This type of baby shower themed party requires something informal and healthy that both men and women will enjoy. A large 6-foot submarine sandwich would certainly fit into the project and feed up to 30 people. Tell the sandwich shop or grocery store that prepares the sandwich how many people should go to the shower, and they will be able to assess the size of the sandwich to make. Ask several guests to bring a plate of potato or pasta salad, perhaps baked beans and chips, dressing, pretzels and the like. Obviously, soft drinks, wine and beer or other drinks go well with this theme.

Gifts

For a party like this, guests can bring individual gifts or the party organizer can suggest that couples buy a more expensive item. Good ideas would include baby furniture, if necessary, or perhaps a bicycle trailer, if the future parents are cyclists. If either is a runner, a stroller is also a great idea.

Additional game of chance for babies

To keep the baby shower theme alive, another game of chance can be played before or after poker games. Make a grid with approximately the same number of squares as the number of guests. For example, if 28 people are at the party, make a grid with seven squares at the top and 4 squares below. At the top, place the expected expiration date above the middle box and the dates before and after the expiration date above the appropriate columns. Along the side place several weight estimates that the baby may have, such as 6 pounds. – 6 pounds. 12 oz. on the bottom line. The next line can weigh 6 pounds. 12 oz. to 7 pounds. 8 ounces, etc. Each guest chooses a square and writes his name on it, similar to throwing a football. So everyone has a hunch about the day the baby will arrive and its weight. Call the winner after birth and tell them you won.

Baby showers for couples are becoming more popular, and men need to be taken into account, as they will not be interested in silly games and small talk about breastfeeding. A baby shower for a poker party can be set up in a way that is pleasing to all guests, men and women.
