For years, dads have been left out of the world of baby showers. However, as dads become more active in their babies’ lives, they gradually include more and more of them in showers. In the last 10 years, showers for couples have grown in popularity. They bring the new dads to the celebration. Now men are starting to go one step further with the Daddy Shower, also known as the Dad-tchelore Party.
Who can do a Daddy Shower? A dad shower is usually organized by a friend or co-worker of the expecting dad. If the party is for a group of dad’s friends, then a good friend may choose to host a male-only baby shower. Office dad showers, or daddy farewells that are thrown for men who are no longer in a relationship with their baby’s mother, are more likely to be coeducational and thus can be hosted by a man or a woman.
Who is a Daddy Shower for? A daddy shower can be arranged for any man who is expecting a son soon. It could be for a man who is expecting a new baby. Men who are adopting can also be graced with a Daddy Shower.
Why a daddy shower? Dad showers are a way to show support for a man who is about to become a father. There are many reasons why you might choose to host a shower for a dad. If the new mom is having a mom-only baby shower with her female friends and relatives, a daddy baby shower can be a great way for the new dad’s male family members and friends to show their support. she. A daddy shower is also very appropriate in a workplace. It’s a great way to recognize a man who will soon be taking on this important new role. Allow co-workers to celebrate with him. While helping you meet all those new baby needs. Another time when a daddy shower becomes even more important is for the new daddy who is no longer with the baby’s mommy. Sometimes, for one reason or another, parents are not involved in a relationship when a new baby is born. In this situation, the new dad will need all of the same supplies that the new mom will need. He, too, will need all the support his friends and family can muster. A daddy shower is a great way to make him feel important and supported.
What do we do at a Daddy Shower? Most men aren’t too keen on traditional baby games. Instead, options like having a backyard cookout, a soccer party, or just hanging out talking tend to be more popular with men than a traditional-style shower. If games are desired, most men seem to prefer ones that make everyone laugh. Drinking bottles, tasting baby food, and dirty diaper play are all good game options.
Do we have to bring gifts? What kind of gifts should we bring? The man’s situation and shower instructions will play a big role in the gift you decide to bring. When the kids get together to celebrate with dad, they often have no idea what to wear. That’s why many daddy showers specify in the invitation that attendees bring a package of diapers. This makes it great for everyone. The dad gets lots of diapers for the baby, thus saving a fortune. Many men like this because they know what to wear. Also, no matter what size diapers they bring, they can’t go wrong, sooner or later new parents will surely need them. Also, if the new mom is taking a shower, she will end up with a lot of the things the couple needs. By bringing diapers, boys won’t have to worry about doubling up on gifts. If the invitation doesn’t specify it, it’s a great idea to bring fun things for the new dad to do with the baby. Daddy’s diaper toolboxes and toolbelts, books for daddy to read to baby, as well as balls and toys tend to appeal to the new daddy more than baby clothes. If the new dad is going to be an estranged parent from the new mom, he will need a lot more baby treats and therefore gifts like those usually given at baby showers would be much more appropriate.
With the ever-increasing role new dads are taking on in raising their babies, it’s time we give them a chance to celebrate and be supported. It’s definitely time for Dad’s shower.
