Coed baby shower invites

Juli101809

I'm hosting a coed baby shower for my sister and I'm not sure if I should include "coed" on the shower invitation or will guests understand that men are invited if I address the envelopes to mr & mrs____. It's a sports theme and was  wondering if anyone had any wording ideas for the invites that would let people know that it is coed?

You can simply put " Please join us for a co-ed baby shower" or "...couples baby shower" on the invite.

he invites my ml made specifically say that its a co-ed "baby bash"  .... she thought that "shower" would deter men lol

I would probably just put ""in honor of Sarah and Jim" (instead of just Sarah).

On the envelope, I'd address it to "Kate and Dan Smith", so they know they are both invited.

This is what my sister did for our invites.  She's throwing us a co-Ed BBQ and the invites say "honoring DH, me and baby last name". She addressed the envelopes to the husband and wife (we didn't put mr and mrs as that's a little formal for a BBQ.)

I would definitely add either "co-ed" or "couples" shower. For mine I did " Please join us for a couples shower celebrating Lauren and Ron's first child".

We are having our co-ed 'shower' this weekend and his aunt just put something like "come one , come all, men, women, and kiddos".

It was very clear that it is a coed event...not really showerish though!

Mine have DH and I listed and my dad and stepmom are listed as hosts. They will be addressed to "The ___ Family" or "Mr. & Mrs." depending on what my stepmom feels like doing. We don't have a theme, it's just a casual but large gathering at a local (to my hometown) pizza place. 

We ordered these invites: https://www.tinyprints.com/product/12073/baby_shower_invitations_patterned_peck_chambord.html

It's mostly family though, so my parents are already talking to them about it and it's known that everyone is invited. The invitations are mainly a formality. The few friends who are invited are single guys and one married couple.
