My baby shower is tomorrow and I was wondering, do you think it's weird for my husband to attend? It's not a jack & Jill, but I'm sure some of my friends will be bringing their SO anyways as a +1 (which doesn't bother me) I'm just wondering if anyone else's husband or SO will be attending yours? He wants to be there, and I feel he should be to open presents and properly thank our guest for them (considering this is his baby too!)
Re: Husband at baby shower?
I think if there will be other men there, then I would definitely want my husband there. If there aren't other guys you may want to suggest he come towards the end for dessert and to see and thank everyone.
I'm a bit of a traditionalist and if just woman were invited, then I think it's a ladies event.
We had a jack-and-kill bridal shower. It was so fun getting to see all of my friends which include my girlfriends' SOs. DH liked being there to help out before and after, he had fun at the party, and we were able to get some nice pictures together.
Hoping for a similar outcome.
As this is our first, my husband wasn't sure what he was 'supposed' to do in terms of the shower. Seeing as this is our baby, I told him that the shower wasn't for me, it was for us. That cheered him up a bit and now he's looking forward to coming. He's not had a lot of experience with infants, so I think he's feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all.

My husband wants to come so he can. My host is going to have her hubby (who works from home and is good friends with my hubby) come too. I wouldn't mind if he didn't come, but I am totally happy that he is. He's my other half and the father so why shouldn't he? I'm also thrilled that he's so excited about baby girl that he would want to be there.
Also, this way he can hang with his mom so that I don't have to! She's nice but she won't know anyone there and there won't be anyone her age so I would feel obligated to "baby sit" her the whole time. Now I can relax and enjoy friends.
