XP: Who's FI is going to the shower?

Will your FI be attending your bridal shower?

After attending a bunch of showers in the past few years, I've seen some people have their FI there and others that don't. Usually when the FI is there, and is the only male there, they look like they are bored out of their minds and can't wait for the shower to be over.

I mentioned to my FI about whether or not he'd like to be at my shower and he was kind of like...why would I want to go? its for women!....this was the response that I had expected from him and I am completely ok with!

Now, FMIL seems to have gotten all hissy about him not coming to the shower when one of my BMs mentioned that I wasn't planning on having him there....

My plan is to talk to FI again tonight to confirm whether or not he wants to go, and then talk to me FMIL about his decision...but I'm just curious about whether or not your FI will be attending you shower

I don't think I ever asked if he wanted to be there. I guess its not something I ever considered. Where I am, its totally okay for a guy to go to his kid's baby shower, but 99% of the time, the bridal showers are just for the women, The only time he might show up is at the end depending on if I can't fit any gifts in the car lol Then he'll have to show up with the truck.

I think if it is just girls invited, my FI would rather be anywhere else. If we do a couples shower, he will be there.

My FI has absolutely NO interest in going to the shower.  what guy would want to sit through all the present opening and chatting and blah blah!!!  I told him he should come for the last 20 minutes or so to help load the car and show his face, maybe have a drink, say his thank yous, and good bye.  Other than that I don't think its necessary or would be fun for either of you if he came.  I don't see much hard in it if he is into it, but if he isn't, it may ruin your time too.
