This question is a bit far in advance but anyways, my mom and grandma plan on having a shower for my baby after we find out the sex. The shower will be held at my grandma's house. There is the thing my mom and grandma live three hours from me and i hate driving there alone so my Fiance always goes with. Do you think it would be ok for him to go to the shower? He is the the father after all. Otherwise he will have to sit at my mom's house and watch tv all day or something. He will be the only guy there if he does go. i know he would love to be there to open the presents.

we are having it there because that is where all of my family and friends live. His mother is having a separate one down here for his family and friends.

i think he should go to the shower. my husband was at mine, and he was the only guy. he should be there when you get all the cool gifts so you can share the excitement!

Traditionally baby showers were women only, but today things have really changed. It is very acceptable for the daddy-to-be to be at the shower. It would also be just fine to make the shower co-ed and invite everyone, not just women. But, in the end, it isn't really a good idea to drive that far alone when you will be very pregnant, so it is practical that the daddy be with you. One piece of advice, in case he gets at the shower and is having a miserable time, give him an easy out--go pick up something at the store, or something like that. Congrats on the pregnancy!!!

well you could have had a couples baby shower, but since you say he'd be the only guy....I'd suggest having him stay at mom's during all the games then call him in enough time for the presents, have him video it if he feels uncomfortable being in the spotlight at a "girly thing".
none of my business true, but why are you holding it 3 hours away? you'll have less guests want to drive and then you'll have to cart all the presents back 3 hours. i would look at holding it elsewhere - even at a pizza place or restaurant with a separate room at the midway point.
congrats and good luck!!

I had a splash one bathe for all 4 of my toddlers. such as you, I now no longer had the previous toddler's products once I had the subsequent one. (My 1st 3 toddlers are 5yrs aside, the third one became right into a woman after which my final toddler is 7 yrs youthful than my daughter.) If people desire to furnish you a bathtub then enable them to. the guideline is which you do no longer provide your self a bathtub. yet...It makes much less issues so you might could desire to purchase. I see no longer something incorrect with having a bathtub for all your toddlers. Is the 1st one the only guy or woman who's assume to get this particular medical care? i do no longer think of so. returned interior the day whilst people had a toddler 10 months to a 365 days aside, you probably did no longer could desire to have yet another bathe because you nevertheless had the toddler stuff and maximum toddler products have been unisex-white dressing robes and diapers-yet those days maximum folk wait a pair of years or extra between toddlers, so which you wind up wanting to interchange each thing from the 1st or next flow around. it incredibly isn't any longer written in stone to have basically a million toddler bathe. the persons who say which you may desire to no longer have yet another are the two stingy, mean-hearted or basically did no longer get superb bathe presents themselves. ha ha ha. that's what you could desire to declare to the destructive people. chortle it off and experience your bathe or Showers.

Yes, it is absolutely fine for the baby's father to attend the baby shower. It's also fine if he is the only man there, and I agree that there is no reason to exclude him. Just cut him a little slack when it comes to opening the gifts - guys just aren't that excited about little pink outfits and booties, but it doesn't mean he isn't excited about the baby.
Congratulations on the baby, and enjoy the baby shower!

your shower your choice, I would have loved to have both guys and girls at my shower, That would have been fun. I would have really wanted to have my hubby their so he could see al lthe baby things, A lot of them arent really into games but they can sit out on those, But I dont think fathers should really be left out, it is both of your babies, So go ahead have him go, Plus it would be a lot safer to have him go with you anyways, you will be further along and you really shouldnt drive that far alone!! Have fun. I just love baby showers!!

My opinion: Co-ed showers rock! Perhaps you can suggest that the ladies (guests) bring their guys with them so your fiance isn't the only dude there & feeling kinda awkward... Just a suggestion.
Congrats & Good luck!

Oh, I think it would be great for the guy to come to the shower. Now, it's really whether he wants to or not. Most guys you have to drag to something like this. But if he's willing to go...I think that's awesome!

In my family, we always have babyshowers with everyone invited. Including men. Granted they all stay outside but they are there and everyone has a good time. I think he should go...
