I've only ever been to showers with the groom there. Like you said, they're his gifts too. Some of the guys just came for the gift opening and not the whole thing. Perhaps that's an option?
My FI actually wants to come to our shower but the only thing holding him back is the fact that he'll be one man facing 902834 women haha. Poor thing. He's still debating on it.
I've never been to one where the groom was there. The groom always went out to a bar with all the other husbands/boyfriends/uncles that showed up. And then just came back in time to load up the car(s).
If he doesn't want to be there don't make him.
He's not planning to. I'd love for him to pop in for a few minutes, say hello, and then leave ... but he can't with his work schedule that day. Regardless, I wouldn't want him there the whole time.
From all the bridal showers I've attended (easy 30+) the groom has never been there - FYI
I've never been to one where the groom was there the whole time. But often he shows up near the end with flowers or something. I'm working on convincing FI to do this for my shower on Sunday : ) I don't think it's a big deal at all to open couple presents yourself unless FI really wants to open them with you.
My fiance came the whole time. I really wanted him there since there were a few people he hadn't met before, and because all of the presents were for both of us. He had a great time. Anything that involves tasty food (and gifts!) usually makes him happy.
we just had our shower this past sunday and FI was with me the entire day. we had a pretty big shower (70 ppl total) and FMIL and i both insisted FI be there; he was actually excited about the food from the beginning and didnt need much convincing :)
both of our dads were there too :)
It depends on how traditional your family is. My mother would be mad if my FI showed up to my shower!
I forced J to come to mine. The way I see it: 1) it kept my aunts from doing horrible things like toilet paper bride and other nonsense that I really didn't want to do, and 2) if I have to be in a room with all of his female family members who I had NEVER met before, he needed to be there, at VERY least to whisper names to me, and 3) if I have to deal with stuff like showers, so does he - I HATE being the center of attention. Don't get me started on the whole necessity of a big wedding nonsense........
His dad and my dad came too, so he wouldn't feel so alone.
Mine dropped me off and then he showed up at the end and played one of the games where he answered questions to see how well he knew me (I'd done the same thig earlier)!
I've never been to one where the groom was there unless it was a couple's shower and other men were there. I have been to some where the groom showed up the last few minutes to help load gifts and say hello to everyone.
I've never been to a bridal shower where the groom stayed the entire time, usually they go drinking/golfing and show up when its over to help pack up the car
He doesn't want to go and I am not going to put him somewhere he is uncomfortable. Him and my mom are both pretty traditional so they would both feel weird with him there I think. Better to leave it alone - I will share the gifts with him and we'll both be happy.
I've had one shower already and will be having another this weekend.
The first one was held by his family, in his hometown. It was definitely a couples shower, men and women there. He was by my side the entire time because I didn't know most of the people there, and it would have felt awkward if it was just me accepting gifts from people I didn't know. We played all of the ridiculous games and he LOVED it. He loves attention.
My shower this weekend is in my hometown, and I know everybody there so FI will not be there. He's okay with that because he doesn't know most of these people, and it's all women.
FH wont be at my shower. I havnt been to many showers with the groom maybe 1 or 2 out of the 15+ i've been to!
My husband dropped me off and left. Then he seriously came back an hour later with his brother, they grabbed food and left again. Goofballs. He did come back to pick me up and load all the heavy gifts in the car. I liked having just the girls there for the shower. Although I love co-ed showers too. I don't think a man could last in a room with women, looking at home appliances and such. At least mine wouldn't!
@daydreamwanderer: I'm with you as far as not knowing most of his family members. The only time I see his extended family is around the holidays. I would prefer that my FI is at my shower, even if just to open gifts. I don't want to wander who got me what. I barely know their names. haha.
My mom and his mom are traditional, though. So we'll see.
I had a co-ed shower (really more of a boozy brunch) and it was a lot of fun! The boys left to watch the game on the TV downstairs at the bar (we were at a restaurant) for the gift opening part, though. Can't really blame them. I made my FI stay, I'm terrible!
@Treasure43: haha my FI did that game too!
His dad was there to drop off his mom, but there was food, so they stayed to eat. My dad was there too, but as soon as we were done eating, all the boys left and came back at the end of the shower to say bye and thank you to everyone.

Question: Did your man go to your shower or not?
Mine doesn't want to go, but I want him there because the gifts are for both of us and I think he should be included. Thoughts?
