Here's 8 ways to plan a coed baby shower that suits everyone:

1. Keep it low-key Mixed baby showers tend to be more like a small family party. Often there's less emphasis on games, and less of the frilly stuff you see at girls-only parties.

2. Keep the men happy Make sure plenty of men will be there in addition to the dad-to-be. Ideally, you're aiming for half and half.

3. Craft your invitations Make the invitations appealing to both sexes. And when you're decorating, don't just go for pink and cute bunny rabbits.

4. Give the dad-to-be a say in shopping If they haven't already, invite mom-to-be and dad-to-be to register for baby gifts

5. Get the goody bags right If you plan to give out goody bags, be aware that many men may not find pastel-coloured sweets in a baby bottle or scented mini-soaps that appealing. Juggling balls, chocolate bars or miniature bottles of spirits might be a safer bet.

6. Make the games fun for both sexes If you decide to have games, choose ones that the dad-to-be and his friends will enjoy.

7. Create a bit of togetherness

Make sure the couple opens gifts together or takes turns when it's time to open gifts.

8. Get the food right Bring on the food! Alongside the vanilla cupcakes and chocolate-dipped strawberries, offer spicy chicken wings, cocktail sausages and mini-burgers, and potato wedges.
