baby showerA baby shower is the best way to celebrate the arrival of a newborn. That’s why when your friend volunteered to organize one for you, you immediately agreed. Although baby showers are usually made for women, you decided you want your husband and his friends to be there with you to celebrate. You want to have a co-ed baby shower party.

Boys find cutesy baby shower games embarrassing, and they feel like it lessens their masculinity. You should organize a game for the male guests that’s not too awkward or too cutesy and will let them enjoy their time at the shower. Why don’t you let them play a card game? A Baby Hold’em tournament is a great choice!

pokerIf you’re familiar with the Texas Hold’em card game, then you’ll know how Baby Hold’em works. Texas Hold’em is a community card game, one of the most popular poker games in American and European poker card rooms and casinos. In this game, each player uses a combination of two hole cards and five community cards to create a poker hand. It’s a very simple card game, requiring only proper strategy for the player to win.

Baby Hold’em is the same, except it has one twist: it includes baby items! Instead of using cash whenever they “buy in”, the players use baby gifts. They can bring any baby item they want, such as diapers, feeding bottles and baby grooming products. As long as it’s useful to the infant, it’ll be accepted for the game. Let them play until the bets and raises become bigger. The Baby Hold’em winner gets a gift instead of money.

    I still don't understand how the game is played. The only card game I play is poker. I play it with my friends regularly. I really want to learn this game because we're preparing a surprise baby shower for our pregnant friend.
