I invited them but only about 5 came. Some didnt like the idea of being a man at a baby shower & didn't show up. But those who did come had fun we played games

I didn't invite the guys to mine, because that's tradition in my family. Plus I think the women are more fun when they guys aren't there. Most of the guys in my friends & family would be pretty boring to have there & the women really get in to the games & conversations when the boys aren't there. Although my hubby will be there to help open gifts & thank everyone, but the party part is just for the girls :) But I think it's great if the guys you know would want to come & have fun with it.

I think it's a great thing to do with men.  You won't have the really frank childbirth stories going on,  and maybe that's a good thing.  

I've certainly been to showers with men and women,  25 years ago - so it's not really new.  It's just a matter of preference.

Have fun!

I look at it this way, its my husbands baby too, so he will def be there! My mother in law said "its not really a place/thing for guys" but I don't care. My dad will be there, my husband, my brother, brother in laws, nephews, etc.

my brother in law and his girlfriend had a co-ed shower, but we won't at mine. Too many women in our family and including friends it would be overwhelming.

I had men at my baby shower. Had a specific game just for the men to participate in and they were the life of the party and had sooooo much fun!!! A baby shower would be nothing without the men. It's a celebration for the baby after it all said and done, why not have them there!

@jayden that's what I was thinking too. It's a big celebration, I don't see why the father and other male friends/family members shouldnt be there to celebrate.
