Why not celebrate Mom and Dad-to-Be? Get both new parents in on the action with Big Dot’s new Couples’ Themes. Beautiful and stylish, the theme comes in three different colors and comes in everything you need to make a fabulous shower. Pick out the invitations to get yourself started. We also have you covered for your tableware and décor, a lot of which you can personalize!

You can keep the theme going by making the games a team event, with the new parents competing together or as team captains. Offer famous food duos like peanut butter & jelly finger sandwiches, spaghetti and meatballs, cheese and artisian bread… the possibilities are endless!

When preparing your favors, keep the pair in mind with personalized candy-bar wrappers. You can get super-cute by giving away a chocolate bar (Mom) and a bubble gum cigar (Dad) in a white organza bag. Or, if the couple shares a favorite food, give away the recipe with some other sweet treats encased in our favor tins.

Celebrating the parents together is a great idea because it not only acknowledges Dad’s new role, but highlights the team effort that parenting is. Have a great time, and be sure to invite Dad’s friends as well Mom’s. There are plenty of guys who would love a chance to celebrate their friend’s new arrival!
