The vast majority of bridal showers are just for women. Some people do have couples showers.
It is nice, though, for the groom to "appear" toward the end of the shower, to meet the guests and give his thanks along with the bride.

Are they "allowed" to? Yes, but I don't know why they would want to. It's usually a ladies only type event. Guests would probably think ti a little odd if he stayed for the whole thing, but a quick appearance at the beginning and coming back to help out with gifts at the end would probably be thought of as sweet. I was at one bridal shower where the groom stayed the entire time, and it was just weird since there were no other men there, and the bride was getting lots of lingerie and girly type things. Odd.

Every shower I've ever been to, the Groom, and sometimes the father of the bride, show up at the end with flowers for the Bride and they help carry all the gifts to the car and say hello to everyone realy quick while they leave. That way, they only have to come for a little bit and everyone gets to say hi to the Groom. But if you want him to be there for the whole thing, why not?!

even if if this wasn't a trainwreck on quite a few levels, you nonetheless would not might desire to pass. This bride and groom sound like gimme pigs. For the bride, it is because of the fact she's inviting human beings she would not be attentive to nicely, which seems present grabby at a tub. And on the Tupperware, that's so over the genuine I won't even handle it. And a device occasion for the groom?!?! the only ingredient left is a hide can charge on the reception. relatively, human beings might desire to end helping this style of greed. You (and your bf) can get completely advantageous wedding ceremony presents with out feeling such as you have been the sufferer of a carry-up. playstation - @Barbara: There are not any circumstances - NONE - decrease than which it is alright to have a Tupperware occasion at a contemporary giving adventure like a tub. somebody is using the form as a thank you to hold visitors hostage and make money, to boot to bringing a contemporary (which some human beings will do). it is fantastically much extortion and that's amazingly rude.

The bridal shower is a chance for the ladies to celebrate together ... before things get crazy with last minute decisions etc. The groom can make a cameo appearance, but it is really a hen party.

Yes grooms should attend the shower. They usually show up after girl time and the games. They should open the gifts with their bride because it's a shower for them too. Plus the people who haven't met the groom can be introduced to him. It's perfectly ok.

We had a great one for my friend called a Honey Do shower. The bride to be opened gifts that were basically for the house-like weedeaters, power washers, power tools and we made a huge bow bouquet for her... the guys ogled the gifts; everyone had a good time, beer and barbeque and the guys helped the groom play with all of the new toys.

My husband came towards the end of my bridal shower and during gift opening. Everyone thought it was a nice touch to have him make an appearance. I also thought it was important so he could also say thank you since the gifts were also for him. My husband did not mind coming towards the end and was there about 30-45minutes.

most grooms do attend the shower. that is a way for the groom to meet the females of your family if he hasnt met them and to introduce you to his female family members. my husband was at ours and it turned out great. every shower i have been to the groom has been there. after all arent the shower gifts technically for him too? we even had him register at home depot and got gift cards from lowes.

I don't see why the heck not. Call it a bride and groom shower....poor men always seem to miss out and it's his wedding too. Do what YOU BOTH want...if he wants to go then he can go. Anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to show up.
