MIL says people prefer women-only showers

Rhiannon

I’ve never ever been to a baby shower, but I was hoping my baby shower would include everybody. I’m finding out from my MIL and her friends that guys aren’t usually included. This makes me sad! Is it true that there is an expectation that only women attend and enjoy baby showers? Or should I plan to invite everyone and hope the men show up too?

Edit: thank you everyone!!! I’m glad to know that co-ed is an option
