    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.


    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

    depending on the kind of people they are, it might not be badd? if they start playing GAMES.......RUN TO THE BAR!!!! :eek: hopefullyi t will be a new version of a baby shower. Im sorry that women think men enjoy this stuff. :(

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    how about thinking about baby showers and wedding showers *period* as events that should never happen?

    honestly do you men really think women enjoy these things either?

    I do think wedding showers are stupid, and just a way to get more gifts. We made ours into a big outdoor party, with a lot of booze and a couple live bands. At least in exchange for the gift, the people got food, drinks and entertainment out of it. lol.

    Baby showers, I'm not totally against. Some women love anything that has to do with babies, and love buying baby gifts, etc.
