Couples Cocktail Party: Food and Beverages
Like any other fete, there should be ample food at a couples cocktail party and of course, a signature drink to wash the nibbles down.
Ask the bartender to concoct a beverage that reflects both the baby and the parents-to-be. If the nursery is in shades of pink and the father-to-be is a fan of Stoli, perhaps a renamed vodka cran fits the bill.

I love couples showers because they give men, especially the papa–to–be, a chance to bask in the pregnancy spotlight.
And generally, the showers are like any other festive affair — just with an additional purpose — celebrating an impending arrival.

Move over carriages and baby bottles, we're throwing a baby shower for guys and gals to attend this week.

Baby's Wardrobe Items Defined
Babe arrives with a whole new set of lingo. At a couple's shower I attended recently, a few men in the room laughed and pondered the difference between terms like layette, onesie, and sleeper. In case you, too, are curious or confused, we've taken the time to define the infant basics.
Sibling Shower: Favors
Once the sibling-to-be has been celebrated, the babes in blankets have been enjoyed and baby bingo has been played, it's time to bid the wee guests goodbye with a parting gift.

This favor can be made up a couple of days in advance.
