Your #Dadchelor Moment

Posted under NOTEBOOK

dadchelor-header

Every dad has experienced that moment when they got “the news” they were going to have a baby.

But everyone’s story is different. Reactions and emotions can be as varied as a snowflake, or as similar as a pair of socks. Some feel the elation of being given a powerful, beautiful gift while others feel the weight of duty enclose around them like some futuristic robot suit. Some laugh, some cry, some stare dumbly at nothing for a little while. A glimpse into your foreseeable future can be a beautifully chaotic and intense moment.

Whatever a man’s response was to “the news,” he goes from being himself to being a father-to-be, or in other words: a dadchelor.

Baby showers have been around for a long time, but dadchelor parties ““ the chance to say goodbye to your child-free days ““ are a new thing. We’ve partnered with Mike’s Hard Lemonade because we know that unless you’re really a new dad, you probably didn’t have a chance to enjoy one of these new man parties with your friends prior to changing your child’s first diaper. Together, we are offering you the chance to win a $100 cash giftcard to have your own belated-dadchelor party.
