I'm confused. I thought both types of showers are for women only??!! I went to a baby shower and there were both men and women. Anybody know?
Well Motown Junkie!!!
Now a days there is such a thing about bridal/ baby showers that ppl do nowadays because when guys and girls go to those things its called JACK AND JILL. THEY do exist.
@CHILE - I HAVE PLANNED SO MANY BABY SHOWERS FOR BOTH AND LET ME TELL U MINE ARE NEVER BORING!!!! I PICK THE CRAZIEST FUNNIEST GAMES AND MAKE EVERYONE PLAY!!! ASK CONFU!! MY MOMS WAS MORE CONSERVATIVE PERO ERAN MAS VIEJAS LAS MUJERS BUT STILL THEY ALL GOT CRAZY AND HAD FUN!!
I PERFER JACK AND JILLS SO MANY I HAVE BEEN TOO ARE FUN!!!
AT ONE POINT BABY SHOWERS WERE FOR WOMEN ONLY...NOW IT'S FOR BOTH MEN/WOMEN.... I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS ALL STARTED..... AS FOR BRIDAL SHOWERS.... IT'S WOMEN ONLY!!!
Not really by brother in law got married last July and they had a huge Jack and Jill wedding shower! It was so much fun! Poker talbes and dancing.....LOTS of drinking it was better than most wedding showers I have been to.

I dont see anything wrong with Jack and Jill baby showers. I had Jack and Jill showers with both my kids. However, with my first one my mom also threw me a shower with just her crazy friends. Bridal showers I think should be more just women. If it`s an Engagement party, then that`s different. @Chilenita - If you`re interested in strippers I'm having one this Sunday at my aunt`s staggette
COOL I am sooooooooooooooooo there put my name on the list OR i'll just find you guys and crash it

Wedding showers are a bit better when they are Jack and Jill but I disagree with Ladybug....women register for their showers not the wedding cuz you are supposed to give $$$ at the wedding and gifts at the shower either way it is for the couple not just for her. About baby showers they are almost always boring!!! You sit and eat and chat and then watch someone open like 100 gifts for the baby - ugh. I told my mom that at my baby shower I refuse to open every single gift while everyone watches me - ugh how boring. So we decided to have the hall place gift tables in the room and I'll just open them and put them out with the card of whoever gave me the gift and if people want to see they can just go have a look at the table. I also requeseted a stripper but I think that is where she will put her foot down I want midget..uh sorry...little people strippers They are so much fun! So I take it that you don't like surprises , since you already know about your babyshower
Right I hate surprises! I don't really know much about it but she discussed the gift thing with me cuz she knows how I am. She knows I don't want to sit there on display for 2 hours opening gifts....it might be because last shower we went to I said " I am so not sitting on display for hours opening gifts" I don't know when it is but some things she just straight up asks me about....

WOW....A 2 FOR 1.....THAT'S NOT BAD....LOL.....NORMALLY THEY ARE DONE A MONTH OR 2 APART..... I GUESS THIS ALL DEPENDS ON WHATEVER THE COUPLE WANTS TO DO....IF THEY WANNA FOLLOW A COOKIE CUTTER TRADITION THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHO INVENTED OR JUST MAKE UP WHATEVER WORKS BEST FOR THEM.....
I think that what eve works for you is the best because you're already under a lot of stress and presure. Even if everything is ready, pple never stop askingyou things and changing last minute, grrrrrrrr

Never ? Time will come soon, when you're friend or even you will go through that
It's a lot of fun and usually a ever greater hangover LOL

Nothin' but oooooohhhhhhh and aaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww.............but it's nice to see men getting involved. Yeahhhh right specially on bridal shower
Actually I notice that at baby showers!!! "Oh........look at the diaper genie!!!" and I'm just thinking, "Who cares??!!!" but I guess it's because I'm not a mom!! Soon, my time will come to say, "OOOOOHHHHH........look!!! A sippy cup!!!!!!!!"
