Re: coed shower games
I'm not a fan of shower games in general, and even more so for co-ed. Men don't "get" the games the way women do - and I just feel that if they are up for coming to a shower in the first place, lets not over-do it by throwing games at them.
A good party/shower doesn't need games to keep things going - trust me!'
ETA: I say men don't get games from the perspective that I've grown up going to showers. While not a fan of games, I do expect them and can roll w/ them. But if my DH went to a shower, he'd be wondering what the point is of these games and wouldn't really want to play them.

I had one co-ed shower and the hostess had us play two word matching type games and then a game where you divide into teams and make a diaper out of toilet paper on a teammate. The men had teamed up on that one before the object of the game was revealed. It was pretty funny seeing them cringe while wrapping a roll of TP around thier buddies crotch. They were all good sports though and I voted them the winners.
I've heard of another one where the guys have to chug beer out of baby bottles. Fastest wins.
We just had one yesterday! The games that everyone loved was the baby bottle chugging contest and the don't let the water break game.
Baby Bottle Chugging: Fill baby bottles with beer and have a chugging contest. Whoever finishes first gets the prize. The plus is that you will get to take home the bottles as a gift.
Don't let the water break:
Each contestant must stick an inflated balloon up their shirt to give them a baby belly and must stick a water balloon between their legs. The objective is to walk from point A to Point B without breaking the balloon. When they get to point B they must place the balloon on the plate (on the ground) without breaking the balloon.
1st make sure to have prizes they will want
2nd you should do diaper races, have 2-3 dolls and have em race to put on diaper and dress doll
hilarious to watch
I've been to a couple of co-ed showers with games.
a) They put us in teams and we had to wear a mask and dress a doll, including a diaper. The next person had to undress and so on. The team that dressed and undressed the doll and went through all the teammates first won.
b) Teams again and we had oven mitts on (don't know where they got them because they were thinner than any I've ever seen!) and we had to fold a basket of clothes. They mixed the clothes up again and we had to do it all over agin.
c) The candy bar in the diaper game...had to smell and decide what kind of candy bar. Gross - as far as I'm concerned.
d) Chugging down beer out of a baby bottle. It kind of failed because some of the people didn't (and wouldn't) drink beer.

I was actually going to suggest this. I went to a co-ed baby shower and the men at first playfully refused to participate but then had a blast passing around the diapers with melted candy bar "poop" in them. The prize for the man that won was a case of beer and the womans prize was a bag filled with a variety of chocolate candy. Sounds gross but it gets a really good laugh out of everyone.
