baby shower

I'm just curious, at your baby shower (or even your bridal shower if you aren't a mom) did your DH attend? Meaning, was he there for the entire shower?

Nope. He wasn't really there for any of it. It was at our house and he came home right near the end I think so visited with a few guests for a bit.

I loved the idea though of doing a BBQ type co-ed baby shower.

To answer my own question, at my bridal shower DH was not there, nor did he want to be, LOL!

I am asking because my friend's DH (who's shower I have today) was there for her bridal shower, and her other baby shower that they have already had, and I believe he will be there today. Not only has he attended, but sits there right next to her as she opens her gifts (at both other showers anyway). I haven't ever been to a shower, baby or bridal, where the husband or father has been in attendance, except for this friend.

Of course a jack & jill would be different.

He was at my bridal shower. They had it in the church hall and the Moms/bridesmaids made all of the food. M, my Dad and M's Uncle all came and served everything to the ladies could relax and enjoy the shower.

No, he didn't come to my bridal showers. I begged him to come to the one his mom threw since I didn't know many of the people on that side, but he wouldn't. But every single bridal shower thrown by the groom's side that I've been to since then the groom at least makes an appearance. I still give M a hard time about it.

MH walked me into both my bridal and baby shower then left. He came back towards the end of both to help with gifts and say goodbye to guests. I would have found it strange if he attended either shower- unless it was a jack and jill one.

Dh came to one of my baby showers because it was all his eextended family and I told him he had to.

I only had one bridal shower, and at the time I still lived in FL and T was in TN, so obviously he didn't attend. We'll both be in FL for my baby shower in 3 weeks on vacation. My shower is at my BFF's house, and T either has the option to hang out with my BFF's husband, either there at the house while the baby shower is happening, but on the back patio drinking beers and chatting, or the two of them go somewhere else, like a restaurant, the beach, whatever, or BFF's hubby can go over to my mom's house a few miles down the road to hang out with T and drink beers and watch TV over there. Whatever option the guys choose, he won't be attending the shower or opening gifts with me or anything like that. If the guys stay at the house where the shower is happening, he'll probably pop inside towards the end, say hi to everyone and that's it. Granted only my family and friends will be attending though since all his family is in VT and won't be making the trip down for the shower.

No, but he did come at the end to say thank you to everyone and help pack everything up.

Yes, Matt was at both and he sat right next to me opening gifts for both of them as well. In our family most showers are co-ed. My cousin and SIL's showers also had their hubs right there with him. All the guys are invited as well. Now I feel like an odd duck after reading a lot of the other posts haha
