Why? God Why!?!?!?!?

So, my friend and his fiance are having a baby shower tomorrow, and they decided to make it co-ed. I think this should be considered torture. If you want a gift, just ask, don't make me sit through a shower. I don't know what goes on at these things, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

At least its open bar, so I know where I'll be spending all of my time.

    I never went to one of those but I can't think of many men who would want to sit through a baby shower. Honestly, I can't sometimes.

    now if you were a single guy going to a baby shower then it prolly wouldnt be so bad cause you know there are going to be single ladies there cooing over babies....plus you could have someone to get shitfaced drunk with

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I was invited to one of those once. I went but made up an excuse for my boyfriend immediately upon being invited. Any good woman would have done the same.

    I HATE baby/wedding showers! It is torture! I guess they figured women have suffered through them so now men have to as well? :p

    I don't know, pull a sickie? Or I guess load up on the alcohol. That's what I would do! :D

    well, baby showers are not what they used to be. i am NOT a fan of them AT ALL. I dont even participate actually. HOWEVER, my bro made me his first kids godparent and i was happy about that so i hosted a "baby shower" that was soooooo not a normal pink/blue type thing. MY theme for this ws ROYALTY. i hired a harpist and definitely hadd open bar and a FEAST for kings. it was definitely unique. and my niece that was born 2 years ago, her baby shower was ALMOST as good. My brother got the band WAR to play and it was a party. Just go you might enjoy it.

    I'm going to be a trooper and go. It starts at 2, so at a minimum, it will be a pregame party for whatever fun I'll be having tomorrow night. If its really bad, I'll just pull a Jim from The Office, and say that "My landlord called, and my apartment is flooding" :)

    The games really are quite boring. I once made 200+ words using the letters of the baby's name and all I got were some shitty bath salts. WTF is up with bath salts?

    um, it's always torture weather it's coed or not. we've been suffering through these things our entire lives, it's about time you people put some time in! at least there's a bar, I've never been to a baby shower that included alcohol. that would make them soooo much better.

    as for what goes on, you sit there and watch people unwrap presents.
