Is it weird to invite guys to the baby shower??

I am 4 1/2 months pregnant and we've started planning the baby shower for some time late march. My boyfriend and I will be married after the baby is due. Here's the question... Is it weird to invite the guys? I have a LOT of guy friends and my boyfriend wants to be involved too. I don't want the guys to feel weird there though... Any help?
Is it weird to invite guys to the baby shower??

Reply:i had guys come to my baby shower, no big deal
Reply:hey! my mother and I have started planning the baby shower too(im due Marth 9th and we are having the baby shower in mid january) I also have a lot of guy friends and co workers. We are having my baby shower with men and women invited. This makes my fiancee more comfortable and makes him feel more involved! A lot of people are doing this more often. good luck and god bless!
Reply:its not tradition and its not all mens thing to do, but time has changed so its completely up to you on who you invite and i think its great that the baby's dad wants to be involved congrats
Reply:Thats not weird. More and more people are doing it. My hubby and I had a baby shower and invited men and women. They call it a couple's shower. Make sure you put that on your invites so everyone knows that it is coed.
Reply:my friends had a Baby - B - Q. A Bar-b-q and baby shower wrapped into one. It was fun and when all the girl stuff started to be to much they went and did stuff in the kitchen or on the grill. Good luck to you.
Reply:This seems to be a new trend in baby showers. I've been invited to a few in the past year. You can do that if you want. Personally I think there's something wrong with it, and I don't attend baby showers. Not to be sexist, but it's a sort of motherly, womanly thing.
Reply:I am due in mid-April and I am having a superbowl baby shower so guys and girls can come. The guys can watch the game and the girls can open the gifts. I think it is going to be so much fun!!! The superbowl is in the beginning of Feb. though.
Reply:My brother's girlfriend had a unisex baby shower. It wasn't that bad actually! Quite fun. Do what you want!
Reply:no way it's not wierd. it's called a jack and jill party. there is no gender bias!
Reply:no dad and his friends should be included.
Reply:No. My husband is coming. So is one of my guy friends, my sisters husband and any other guys are invited too. My husband is the only one who must come. Guys usually don't care about babies but if they do, why shouldn't they be invited
Reply:You do what you want. We don't really have baby showers in the UK, but if we did, we would have had guys there too. They are part of the equation after all and why shouldn't they be involved in the fun stuff too. It doesn't have to be too feminine and frilly does it, just a gathering of good friends for a happy reason. Go ahead and enjoy but don't let those guys turn it into a beer-fest! Keep it light and easy so everyone goes home sober, which is as it should be after a baby-shower. Have a great time and a great christmas. I wish you all the best for the birth and your wedding after. Good luck!
Reply:ok i had a friend that had a guy and girl baby shower. Now u know the guys dont really want to dit through all that girlir stuff.. My friends hubby had a diaper party in the back part of the house and the rule was to get into the "diaper party" you had to bring a package of diapers . The guys hung out and played cards and what not everyone was happy!! If the guys wanted to go in the front part of the house to the baby shower of course they could.. Anwyay made everyone feel comfy!! I hope this helped you.
Reply:Yes, a baby shower is for GIRLS ONLY--it makes a better atmosphere. It's not a party!! It is a special event for women only who can relate to pregnancy and birth. It is not a guy thing.
Reply:I had a baby shower and invited my guy friends. People thought it was crazy but most of my friends are guys and my fiance wanted to be involved as well. It turned out great. I didn't have the traditional girly baby shower...but I was so much happier having my friends, family, and finace there. It was a wonderful experience and I wouldn't have changed it for the world. I think you should talk to whoever is throwing the baby shower for you and tell them what you want.....it's all about you right now. Good luck and congradulations!
Reply:Actually I applaud the guy for wanting to be involve.


It's a special day for you and yes he should be there to witness and pamper you in every way.
Reply:I am having my husband and my dad at my shower...and any other male companion of my female guests is welcome too...the shower is for the baby and it took you and your boyfriend to conceive her so he should definitely be a part of it!
Reply:Co-ed showers are the new thing.





I am due in April and we are having a co-ed shower. We are actually calling it a celebration.





we are not going to have games or any cutesy stuff like that. actually a BBQ, with drawing etc.





I think it's awesome your boyfriend wants to be involved.
Reply:I don't think it's wierd at all! Just be sure to make it a little more neutral so that the guys don't feel out of place.





Good luck!
