[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coed showers are odd.  Even when guys say they are ok with them, they really aren't.  They are just being supportive of you.  Don't make them do it.

It is ok not to have a shower!  Are you ok with not getting a massive present haul?  People will still give you things but not in the same huge amount.  I didn't want a shower for the same types of reasons you said so I didn't have one.  I also didn't register or expect or want gifts from people.  [/quote]

Sorry, I don't agree with this. It's only odd if you make people sniff diapers during stupid games and force them to watch you open gifts. Plenty of our Guy friends are dads or just really like kids. And most are coupled up and we socialize with them as couples, not just the women. A co-ed shower with beer is just an excuse to get together and celebrate the new parents. If you aren't overplaying the whole "baby" aspect of things it is basically just like any other party--have food, music, and relax. Sure, some people (like the women) will bring gifts and other won't--like the single guys who showed up to your wedding and never got you anything. But no need to gender segregate in this day and age if your friends are a mixed group. I think a co-ed shower is a great idea. Follow it up with a sip and see after baby is born so people can come meet the baby and brunch. [/quote]
