Baby shower question

I was wondering if it's okay to have a baby shower celebrating the parents-to-be rather then having a baby shower to celebrate the mommy-to-be? Just curious. My mom is throwing me a shower sometime in August. All the baby showers in my family have been co-ed, which I enjoy. I personally feel like because this would be me and BF's first child, and both of our lives are changing it seems fair. we're both going to be new to this I don't want to have the focus on me only, while BF is there as wel, it would feel weird. I don't know if my mom is just focusing on me in the party or not. So thats why im just curious. You ladies are the queens of EtiquetteSmile

    i hosted a shower where the father to be attended & took pics but the guests were all the friends of the mother to be. I don't see why it would it would be bad  etiquette to have him join (IMO) as well.

    If you want to have a co-ed shower, that's fine.  But you have to talk to your host about this and take into consideration their budget and how many people they feel they can host.  They say 30 - then you can invite either 30 women or 30 coup

    If it is ok with your host to have a co ed shower, then your bf should be there. If it were only women then I would find it odd to have him there. Also, many guys don't like going to showers so don't press it if he says no.

    Like ECB said, you need to talk to your mom and ask how many people she can accomodate because a co-ed shower would essentially double the guest list.  You may also have to consider that your mom might not want to throw a  co-ed shower.

    I would also talk to your boyfriend. My DH is super-duper into this having a kid thing. Excited about baby gear, working on the nursery, listening to the heartbeat, attending u/s appointments, everything. This is our first child also. We are 31, have b

    I know for sure my shower will be co-ed and my mom has no problem with it, because every baby shower our family has been co-ed it's the norm. I've actually never noticed any guys including the father to be not satisfied with the party because th

    I don't see why that would be a problem as long as your mom is okay with hosting it as a co-ed party. I always think it's cute when I see the FTB attend or make an appearance at the baby shower.
