Give Them A Smoking Good Time With The Barbeque Baby Shower Theme!

The barbeque baby shower theme is more geared towards the new dad.

It is a great coed baby shower to have where men will definitely have a good time.

Make sure that the invitations also include the guys’ names.

You always have the flexibility to twist this to be geared towards both parents and include some great coed games.

Barbeque Baby Shower Theme Invitation

Attach pink or blue bubble gum cigars to an invitation that says:

Holy Smokes! (parent name) and (parent name) are having a baby! You are invited to a barbeque baby shower in their honor. Come for a roast of a good time!

Include with the invitation a recipe card and instructions for the guests to give their favorite barbeque recipe for the dad to beef up his grilling recipes. He might need it for survival!!

In this barbeque baby shower theme, there are fewer games due to the fact that the guests are more likely quite familiar with one another. The atmosphere is more relaxed.

Barbeque Baby Shower Theme Activites

Have 2 activity tables set up for guests to work on through out most of the shower.

One table will have the supplies to create a custom grilling cookbook for the dad. Have supplies to decorate the outside of the cookbook. Make sure it is a card cookbook so the guests can insert their recipe card into the cookbook. If the cookbook has room for 2 cards on each page, the guests can fill one card with new daddy advice.

The other table will have a craft for the guests to work on. It is good to have a few items so everyone has a turn of creating a masterpiece.

One item can be an apron for the dad to cook with. It can have a cute saying inscribed on it like," I cook for survival" or “A man's grill is his best friend"

Another item can be a bib for the baby. You can put something on it like" Got Meat" or I'm a meat eater"

Guests can take turns decorating, signing names or writing advice on the clothing articles.

Barbeque Baby Shower Theme Gift Table

Set up a separate table for guests to put their gifts for the mom and dad. With it being a barbeque baby shower theme, you can use a red and white checkerboard tablecloth or have a few hay bales set up as a gift table.

Barbeque Baby Shower Theme Decorations

Country decorations work well for this type of baby shower theme. Hay bales, saddles, and cowboy hats can liven up a yard quickly. You can use a baby bathtub, giant plastic cowboy hat or aluminum tub to put the drinks and ice in.

A display of hay bales in the front yard with a cute sign directing guests to the back yard can also be a nice touch.

Barbeque Baby Shower Theme Food

Typical barbeque food will do for this theme. Guys can huddle around the grill shooting the breeze while the women add final touches to the activity pieces.

Serve the food buffet style and make sure there is plenty of seating places to accommodate your guests.

Additional Activities during the meal

Arrange beforehand to have a close friend of the mom and dad prepare a roast for the meal. A roast is where the friend stands up and gives funny or remember when stories. This is always entertaining for the group. The person giving the roast can end it with a toast to the new mom and dad.

You can also have guests come prepared with advice to give the new mom and dad. You can pass tongs around for them to hold while they have the floor.

Make sure you have a video recorder handy, for this will be a great addition to the couple's library!
