Themes

• Is the happy couple going somewhere romantic or exciting for their honeymoon? Link your theme to their destination; this will also help guide guests toward honeymoon-related gifts. Other themes involve the type of gifts being purchased. Gifts for the bar or kitchen can help inspire decorations and food. A scavenger hunt is a unique idea; these can be set within a home or in a public location like a mall.
  
  

Games

• Ice-breaker games might be a good idea, especially if some of the guests don't know each other. Low-key physical games such as horseshoes work well for outdoor showers, while trivia about the bride and groom is a good indoor or outdoor option. Keep in mind that both the family and friends of the couple may be there; make sure the games are appropriate for mixed company. Sometimes pitting the men against the women can be a lot of fun.
  
  

Locations

• Alternate settings for a coed shower include the beach or pool, or a camping or ski trip. Restaurants are also a good choice for a coed shower; do the bride and groom have a favorite? Outdoor themes like barbecues and picnics work great for coed showers. A wine-tasting event guarantees fun; some wineries will host them.
