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 think I may get beyond wedding drunk. This way I won't have any memory of it.

    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

    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.

    LOVE IT!
    :D


    i am female and i despise baby/wedding showers with an absolute passion....truly. so yea, if we have to suffer thru em, you should too. ;) and hell, open bar? perfect! :p


    the *best* shower i have ever been to was the one my oldest sister and i threw for my middle sister. she was an older first-time bride - 39 - and sure, it was all women....but yea, my family and my sisters friends, seriously can drink. the bar tab was more than double the food. needless to say, a great time was had by all.....even if we did watch her open a bazillion gifts. otherwise, it was just awesome convo and free-flowing alcohol. :D


    *oh, and NO lame-ass games. wtf thought of all that lame-ass shite? seriously?! i went to my husband's nieces bridal showers...i wanted to die. unreal amount of games, etc.....we never used to do that. it was always food, convo, and watching gifts being open. definitely more alcohol should be served at all these functions.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I agree. It can be good, if done properly! We did this once, for some very bizarre reasons that didn't really allow for an all-girl bash. Anyway, we made the best of it and I think everyone ended up having fun.

    We had games, but they were fun...like boys chugging beer from baby bottles.....

    When it was present time, the boys walked to the pub around the corner from my mom's house and although they stayed out WAY past their 'curfew,' we all ended up having fun!

    I thought about it, but it's not worth it lol...


    I actually went to a co-ed baby shower with my wife a couple of months ago... There was a bar and a band, and it was more like a party than a baby shower. Besides the gifts and the pregnant girl walking around thanking people, you wouldn't have know it was a shower :)

    was like a picture

    tremendous thinking to help out your boyfriend!

    you can file the co-ed baby shower with the co-ed wedding shower as an event that should just never happen.
