does your husband/s.o have to be there for the baby shower?

Question

Answer

He helped make the child, why wouldn't he be there to celebrate its empending arrival? My entire life I have attended baby showers where the father was always there....and all the other men in the family too. I think it's weird for it to be considered a "girl" thing.

Answer

I HATE women-only showers with stupid games and all that obnoxious stuff. If I have a shower (baby or wedding) it will be a coed party. If people happen to bring presents, ok. And people throwing a separate party for his friends - you're being greedy. You don't need a shower and a diaper party and a gender reveal and and and....

Answer

My husband is the manliest dude you'll ever meet. For all of our babies he was present as were his closest friends. They all brought him well wishes, beer and gifts for our kids. I don't know why he wouldn't? Lol!

Answer

He doesn't have to be, but since it's our baby, I want him to be there.

Answer

They don't HAVE to be there but I'm pretty sure most men would like to.

Answer

Yes mine has too because we live in a gender equality household. I also have only 2 girlfriends and a lot of guy friends (that are coming).

Answer

I've never been to a girl only baby shower? They're always coed I think the idea of a girl only is weird. But that's from what I've experienced. Its kinda like celebrating a new life into the world plus free food?, lol

Answer

My husband really wanted to be a part of it and I saw no problem in making it coed. It's just a big celebration for your unborn child so why wouldn't I want him to be there?

Answer

No traditionally its a girl thing. Sometimes people choose to include guys.

Answer

i asked my husband if he wanted me to invite his friends and guy family members and he said no. haha! he went to work and then showed up at the end to help clean up. ?
