Hey Daytona,

"couples" baby showers are becoming more and more popular. My original plan for my shower was to have a couples one and invite hubby's, partners and friends of all the gal pals I am having over to help DH celebrate. I did forget that DH had a wedding gig that he has to play at on the same day and because I couldn't change the date of my shower (due to work and other commitments) we just went for a all girls affair

There are sooooo many games that can be played at a shower, some more physical than others so I guess it depends on how far into your pregnancy you will be when you hold yours. If you or your friend googles baby shower games there are many many websites to browse through.

We are having about 6 games but I cannot say which ones coz there will be a few from BB coming along and somethings need to be left for a surprise. I will say though that there is nothing terrible physical coz I get far too tired now let alone at 32 weeks when I am bigger

As for food, I loved the idea of a laid back BBQ but again coz DH has a lot of things he needs to do before his gig it will just be easier to have the standard party food and nibbles.

If you want to tie it in with your house warming that will be great but you will need to make sure that the people you want to have at your baby shower and a house warming are the same. Personally I would have them separate but thats just me and the idea of having 2 parties maybe a bit much not just for you to organise but for your guests as well.

HTH
