A couple’s shower is becoming more popular and I thought about it since I wanted him to be involved and feel like he was having a party too. 
That and we lived together and it was being held at our place (the bridesmaids deemed it the most convenient location). He was there for the shower anyway, though probably mostly for the food.
But I read this article on getmarried.com about themes for couple showers. Here are my favorites:
Honeymoon heaven
For the couple who already “has everything†or for the couple planning a destination wedding that may be leaving the honeymoon as an afterthought, this theme is a great opportunity. It’s also good for inspiring ideas for the menu, drinks and décor as well as gifts, ranging from the cheap-‘n’-cheerful like a basket of sun care products for the couple to more expensive items like luggage or a camera. Look into ways guests can help make the honeymoon memorable, too, like paying for an upgrade on their accommodations, a week’s car rental or a special day trip or activity.
House proud
If you know the couple is buying a new home, a shower themed around home renovations and maintenance is ideal. Give each guest a season or a floor so that there will be a good variety of gifts.
Stock the pantry
If the couple loves to cook, ask guests to bring kitchen-inspired gifts–everything from mixing bowls and gadgets to chef’s knives and appliances. Have them include a recipe that not only requires the use of their gift but somehow reflect each giver’s personality or style. Arrange the gifts on a table and have the couple of honor try to identify who gave what, based on the choice of recipe and the gift.
What kind of shower will you have (if any)?
I like the idea of a couple’s shower! Especially the ‘stock the pantry’ or ‘stock the bar’ themed ones.
