Baby showers don?t have to be awkward, uncomfortable affairs. Here are some tips and tricks to actually having fun at your own shower.
1. Make it co-ed

Instead of the men enjoying a ?diaper party? in the basement with beer and chips, while the women sit upstairs sipping mocktinis, throw a coed party instead. You?ll appreciate not having all the attention on you and having your partner to lean on if things get to be a bit too much.
2. Hold a separate one for friends and for relatives

If you don?t think Great Aunt Alice will be into the DIY crafts or the NSFW games you want to do, then plan two showers.
3. Make it three hours?max

All that socializing is exhausting. Set a three-hour time limit on the shower so that the afternoon leaves guests wanting more instead of covertly checking the time on their phones.   .related-article-block{display:inline-block;width:300px;padding:.5rem;margin-left:.5rem;float:right;border:1px solid #ccc}@media (max-width: 525px){.related-article-block{float:none;display:block;width:280px;margin:0 auto 2rem}}

4. Serve lots of alcohol

Sorry, this is for the guests, not for you. But greeting guests with glasses of prosecco or signature cocktails can help break the ice.
5. Make an anonymous tip box labelled ?unsolicited advice?

Please redirect all preachy know-it-alls in that direction (they don?t have to know it?s the place for ?unwanted advice?).
6. Pick a convenient location

It?s love...
