Baby shower etiquette

Mini

TL;DR

My bf/bd is going to be attending the baby shower, should I have his name on the front of the invitation?

Longer version:

I've always thought baby showers were traditionally female only, idk why. My bf/bd said he wants to go, so now we are having men at the shower too which I don't mind at all, I think the more the merrier. Plus he's really excited about the baby and I want him to be a part of the celebration.

My friend sent me a screen shot of an invitation she has started designing online to ask what I think and it says "to honor mother-to-be..." and then my name under it. Is it disrespectful or downplaying my boyfriend's role to not include him in this? I could see maybe if it were only women or if my bf wasn't going to be there with his friends too, that it would say only my name. Should his name be included on the front of the invite as well?
