Baby shower?????????????????????????????????????
[video]
My husband and I just purchased our first house and our first child is due in October. We were hoping to have a bbq/baby shower at once. Like in late July. I really want my husbands friends to come to the baby shower because it’s not just my baby so why would just my friends come. Do you think this is acceptable?

Absolutely, that’s what we did. Men are finally evolving! We all had a great time even though the guys did act a bit goofy.

well, what do u mean ur husband’s friends won’t come?
whats the reason?
u don’t give any info on that, without that we can’t answer ur question.
anyway, if they don’t want to come, u can’t force them to. just have babyshower with ur friends and then invite all for a bbq.

I don’t see why you guys couldn’t both celebrate your baby with a baby shower for the two of you. Guys like getting baby gifts too. As long as you both want this then I say go for it.

most definately. nowadays u see it more and more often that women are having men attend, they only made it a female thing because of all the little girly games being played. Im also having my baby shower in july & in the outdoors & im doing the guy thing. Good luck!

Most certainly yes! Your friends and family should be invited and so should his. This is a time for celebration of life and everyone should be invited for this special occasion. So start planning for a wonderful baby shower and BBQ, you’ll have so much fun and feel better knowing everyone (including his friends) came out for the celebration! Best wishes….:o)

We’re doing the husband/wife baby shower thing in late June. I have been to a couple of these myself and I liked them a lot better than the ones where there were only women. Hopefully having the combo bbq/baby shower will help with those men who have issues with the baby shower portion and beer never hurts either (just not for the mother-to-be, of course). If your husbands friends are truly friends, they will want to be supportive of him.
Good luck and congrats on the house and the impending parenthood!
