I was on the fence about it but now I'll throw a seperate party for him. And we will most likely have a co-ed shower thrown by my sis and his sis, it's his baby too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32394 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:13:37 +0000 tequiero21 32394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with all the prior posts. separate is best. not sure which guy would want to do it - where's the beer? lol.</p> <p>also, someone else should host your party, unless you do a gender reveal party instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32385 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:10:04 +0000 tequiero21 32385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with all the posts - have it separate. girls might not mind sharing with baby shower, but doubt guys would enjoy it. where's the beer? lol.</p> <p>also, someone else should host the party, unless you have a gender reveal party instead.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32379 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:04:52 +0000 chopsuey 32379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a co-ed shower too. I think you should just celebrate separately. Enjoy the attention and gifts you'll be getting at your shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32374 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:58:04 +0000 cyndistar3 32374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also don't like the idea of combining the two... they are two totally different events. I am pretty sure my husband wouldn't be too happy if I decided to combine his birthday with a baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32346 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:36:39 +0000 Mrsbells 32346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont like the idea of blending an adult birthday party with a baby shower. I think they should be kept separate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32315 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:15:44 +0000 heffalump 32315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rosie Girl: We had a coed baby shower. It was very boy friendly, at a baseball stadium.</p> <p>However, I also agree that it would be nice for him to have his own day for his birthday, and usually somebody else hosts your baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32276 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:55:44 +0000 Rosie Girl 32276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't do this. For one, its two completely different types of parties. Also, normally (at least from what i know) guys don't go to baby showers. And I think you DH should get a day of his own. Those get less and less as you have children :) Plus, I don't think you should throw your own baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/joint-baby-shower-and-birthday-party#post-32237 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:27:31 +0000 lavender 32237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am due the end of March, and my hubby's 30th bday is the beginning of March. I was toying with the idea of having a joint baby shower/surprise birthday party. What are your thoughts? I'm not one for cutesy games or having alot of attention placed on me. And would it be bad etiquette if I was the one who threw it? </p>
