Just curious what others think. We had a Co-ed baby shower and had a great time with all our friends. Plus, it’s not like I was going to exclude our male friends from the celebration. But during the planning, my Mom and MiL were wondering if we should invite guys to our party, since traditionally it was woman only. But since most of our friends are single males and we were announcing the gender of our baby(girl) I figured we’d go with a more modern approach to the invitation list.

I did co-ed because a lot of my friends are also guys

I prefer everything ladies only. I don’t have any male friends. The only co-ed shower I attended all of the husbands/boyfriends were bored and watching a football game on their phones.

We did co-ed because we both have male friends. We did brunch at a locally owned bar on the outdoor patio. Everyone had a blast, including the guys.

I had both. I had a daytime coed baby shower. And me and my gfs went for a personal girls night a couple weeks after just us. More of a last hoohaa before the baby comes lol.

honestly the men don’t want to show up anyways !!🤣 we did a co-ed because my fiances father and his brother wanted to show up as well as my best friends boyfriend but those were literally the only men that went, it was majority ladies. i also went to a public baby shower and only one of the fathers of all the mommies showed up, i brought my girl best friend lol. i say only the important males come, women have a better time with women in these events anyways, but it’s whatever you feel comfy with.

Mine was supposed to be female family and friends only but I kept inviting make friends and family because I dont believe in that type of stuff. Plus my husband didn't do a diaper party

I had one of both so my husband could be included in one and we could invite more family/kids

All genders!! It’s the man’s baby jut as much as the woman’s, and my son’s uncles were just as excited as his aunties, so I think it’s so mean that the standard is for them to be excluded

We did just women to begin with then the men came an hour or so before the end

My sister threw mine and it was girls only but I would’ve preferred co ed as my husband has all brothers and I have a brother and we r friends with a few guys who r dads . I also hate attention focused on me so if I my husband was there I would have felt more at ease
