Possible UO

I know this might sound bitchy and Im sorry if it offends anyone, but since when did co-ed baby showers become the norm? Also, when did alcohol at baby showers become the norm? Mabye at the time the co-ed showers did? Maybe the booze came around to get the guys to come?

I know my DH wouldnt go to any kind of baby anything without beers being involved. I have been to both and would much rather have a ladies only shower. When the guys and beer get involved, it just seems so much more rushed to get all the presents opened and the focus isnt on the mom-to-be, but more on the party.

Flame-away if you would like. Sorry, Im kind of crabby today.

  • Alcohol doesn't bother me either.  But my family has never had an issue with it.  We had beer, wine and whiskey sours at my baby shower.  Kept it classy by having the whiskey sours in a fountain.  Lol

  • I agree with light drinks and co-ed family, but these showers are keggers and SO's of the women invited type friends.
  • I really have no opinion, not my style, I prefer hanging out with the girls without the guys.

  • I like just the ladies too. We had light alcohol at my shower but no men. H would never go to a baby shower with me.

    Although I did just go to a baby shower that was FOR the dad - not the mom - and people got really wasted there. I thought it was

  • I had never heard of this until I was invited to one...and the verdict is LADIES ONLY!  You didn't have the same atmosphere with the guys there and it felt more like a cocktail party.  I like girls only and fun fruity drinks/light alcohol.

  • When I have a baby shower I definitely want my H there.  It's his baby too, why shouldn't he get to celebrate with me?

  • Alcohol wouldn't bother me...we had mimosas at my friends last year.  As far as men goes, I'd rather have a ladies only shower with my hubby present.  I'm sure my brother will be at mine to keep hubby company.  But if its like my bridal sho
