Why couples baby shower games? because goodbye are the days when baby showers were a women only affair. Men are now stepping
up to the plate and are supporting the women.
You can now find men accompanying women to baby registries and yes, they are tagging along at baby showers.
To make sure that the guys don't run to the other room you need to have games to keep their
interest.
These couples baby shower games offer good comradery between men and women without making the guys uncomfortable.
