Baby Shower question

bowed9081 · April 2012

So my baby shower is this Sunday and I was wondering if anyone's DH came for the gift opening portion? I was thinking that I want him to come while that happens and I've gotten mixed responses about it. What do you guys think and did DH come or plans on coming to yours? (only for gift opening)

He should be there the whole time or not at all. I think its weird if he's there JUST for the gift opening.

My DH will be showing up at the very end, after the gifts are opened, to say thank you and to help carry everything. I have never seen a husband show up just to open gifts but in my group of friends it's custom for the husband to show up at the very end.

This for me too:)

We're having a Jack and Jill potluck instead of the standard shower, so DH will definitely be there and I'm recruiting him to open gifts with me. I hate being the center of attention + I know for a fact that a few of our guests would find that portion boring (they're really not baby people), so we're hoping to get through it quickly together.

We're having a co-ed shower. I wouldn't consider doing it without him.

We are having ours at a clubhouse type place, and I have a sister in law coming in from out of town so that brother and him are going to hang out in another room. Then, I plan on having him come hang out for gifts, because I hate being the center of attention!

Mine was their for the whole shower. I've been to 3 other baby showers and the dad-to-be was there in 2 out of the 3.

I think it should be either co-ed or all women. I think it's awkward for the guests and the Dad, if he's the only man there.

I do like when the Dad comes in at the end to say hello and thanks. I think that's nice. During my shower, the guys all went to the bar around the corner. They came back toward the end, ate the leftover food, and played a beer baby bottle race game with us.

We are having a co-ed shower/bbq thing, so he will be there anyway. Our church is also throwing me a shower, and he was planning on coming to the gift opening for that. He works at the church so he thought it would be appropriate to show up for that part of it, since the whole reason the shower is happening is because he works there.

DH will be there the whole time. My friend who is throwing it her boyfriend is DH's best friend/best man/ future godfather and will be there with him to hang out. But it's his baby too. I think he would feel really left out if he didn't go.

Either he's there the whole time or not at all. I think that would be awkward for him to just come for the gifts. My DH doesn't plan on coming to our shower but he will probably show up at the end to stay thanks and help with stuff.
