Showers have usually been a time for women to get together and celebrate the new baby. However, as men take a more active role in raising the children a lot of people today like the idea of including daddy. If this is the case, then there can either be a men-only shower or a co-ed party.
A daddy's shower can be held with just the guys and is usually arranged by a close friend of the dad. These don't usually involve games and can be held at a restaurant or bar or at someone's home with sports games or video entertainment. For gifts, the guys could bring gift certificates or a package of diapers. They could bring a traditional gift too, but most guys don't feel comfortable choosing baby outfits.
A co-ed shower is usually more a party than a shower. Barbecues are popular for co-ed parties. Guys don't usually ooh and aah over cute outfits like many women and might get bored during gift opening so consider having an alternate activity for the guys during this part. Depending on the guys, they might also not be into games. If you think the guys might be up for shower games, give it a try. Most games work with co-eds or can be slightly modified to fit the bill.
