I dunno about this one. I'm sure I'll get a medley of responses.. I've already asked a few of my friends about this, and they're pretty much split 50/50 on the idea. What's your opinion?

I went to three baby showers last year and there were men at one of them. It isn't a matter of OK or not OK..it is a matter of what the preggy lady and the hostess wants. The rules of etiquette have changed so much over the years, you can pretty much write your own book. The only true and stead fast rules are, don't pick your nose and eat it, don't fart and share the smell with a scoop of "fart air" and don't tell the hostess she is fat!

assuming you're invited and not a date of some that is, sure whynot goforit. remember you're there to show solidarity toward impending motherhood and are forevermore 'on call' should the new mother need your help. 15 years ago i was invited to help the bridesmaids put the wedding bouquets together for the wedding of a close girlfriend of mine. i was the only guy there and i was all thumbs and it turned out to be something of an ice breaker for the seriousness of the whole wedding in general. i look back on it today with a little pride. i don't know why guys don't do this more often. go and help out toughguy.

I think its great a guy goes to a baby shower theres not much for you todo there but it shows your support as a father or as a friend of the fathers there needs to be more guys going to baby showers so they feel like there actually apart of everything and they get to be involved in what there new son or daughter might be playing with or wearing!

If he's the father heck yes he should go. If he's a family friend, well then, his decision should be based on if its going to be a coed baby shower. Sometimes baby showers are just for the girls, but not always. Bottom line, its great to see a man interested in anything that has to do with a baby :o)

I think that to have a couples baby shower is awesome. I think that the fathers should be more involved like for baby showers and everything else like and doing the registers for baby gifts and stuff like that. I am glad to see that there is some men that is willing to be there all the time and at every event for the baby

i think of you will desire to completely throw her a baby bathe. She's pregnant, and at an identical time because it is not perfect timing by any skill, being pregnant is a miracle and it is not something that would desire to be "punished". you will love your grandchild as quickly as you meet him/her and you'd be happy your daughter made this "mistake" through fact your life would be richer as a consequence of it. whether you nonetheless be offended with your daughter for the period of the being pregnant, her toddler did no longer do something incorrect and merits to be celebrated. Plus, it may shop you and your daughter money interior the long-term in case you throw her a baby bathe through fact she could acquire a ton of the failings the toddler's going to need at no value to you, different than nutrition and refreshments for the travelers. by the way, October/November is a suitable time for the toddler bathe if she's due in January.

If you are the father of the unborn child you will likely be expected to put in an appearance if only to carry the gifts to the car - otherwise, unless you were invited - no matter what gender - it's inappropriate to show up.

Women cannot have babies without the help of men. Hence, if a woman could go to a baby shower, men could go, too. Afterall, the baby wouldn't have come into being without a man, right?

Of course you can. More details would be nice. Are you the father? or just a friend? I made my honey come to my showers (family and friends) but then at my friends shower my best friend who is a guy came so it's all up to you.
