Are you involving DH?

Im involving my DH in the shower my mil and sil is throwing me. I told him i want him to play games and help open presents because its his baby to and i want him there.besides its at his parents house anyway. I have heard people say the shower is for just women and the one who is having the baby. I dont think so. How do you feel on this subject? My mil said that a few of the people she invited might bring there husbands. I dont see anything wrong with that.

After my DH talked to some of his friends he decided that it wasn't quite for him.  He really wanted to be a part at first, but then changed his mind.  So I threw him a Daddy shower today it was much better for him.

For our wedding shower, we had a couples party and it was really fun. Baby showers seem less fun for men to me, so we did women only this time. Either can work, though!

I've been to co-ed showers... But it's not something Bun would enjoy at all. Instead we will likely ship all the husbands/boyfriends off to one of their houses to drink and play video games until we are done. That way everybody's happy. And less cake is required.

DH came to our shower and played all the games.  I don't see anything wrong with that, and nobody said anything about it.

My dh is pretty involved with all things pregnancy.  He did most of the nursery, goes to every dr appt with me, etc.  However, he'd be bored to tears at a baby shower, even if it was for our baby.  Heck, I don't even like going to showers!

my DH was the best at my first shower. it was all my friends and my side of the family. he was such a big help, because i set up a lot of it because my mom...she paid for it all, but didn't get into town early enough for all the work. he took pictures for me, but he stayed in the kitchen with my dad, grandpa, grandma and uncle. at the second one, his parents, he was a little more involved. it was more of a family gathering than a women only baby shower. he did participate in a game or 2 and sat with me for awhile, but obviously got bored and went downstairs to play with the boys lol i don't see anything wrong with your DH there at all.

I was lucky to have two showers. The first my mom and sisters threw me- DH was not included. He was very happy. Shower #2 is being thrown by MIL- she is insisting he be a part of it. He absolutely does not want to and is still mad that I told him he could not tell his mom no.

This. Pretty much exactly.

We're having a coed shower, pretty much food and drinks. Low key with no games. Just our style

he was free to come if he wanted to, and he considered it, but ultimately decided he wasn't quite up to spending the afternoon with nearly thirty of my cackling female cousins aunts and friends. so he went over to my male cousin's house with a bunch of other boys and they did boy stuff. had a bonfire and drank beer and watched movies. after the party my sisters and i joined them for part of the evening. i think that was a great relief to him, though he was interested in what kinds of things we got later, as well as enjoying leftover cake and pulled chicken sandwiches.

My DH will probably come and eat and say hi to everyone and then take off before any of the real shower type stuff starts.. He is not a big fan of stuff like that. I don't blame him, showers are NMS either. The main reason I am doing this is I know how much it means to my mom to be able to throw the shower and for my family to get to celebrate the baby.

DH will be there as will both our dads and brothers.
