Mine was a plane ride away at my mom's. But even if it was where we lived he wouldn't of come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132567 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 16:32:28 +0000 indi 1132567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours will likely be like @cascademom: with FIL and DH coming at the end to say hello and do all the lifting and loading of gifts. He may have a diaper keg, too, like @Danizaur: mentioned. His family loves beer, and babies, so I'm sure it will be well attended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132535 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 16:00:51 +0000 PurplePeony 1132535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a coed wedding shower and I was hoping for the same as a baby shower -- I really prefer them. However, it's going to be ladies only, and I'm still not sure if DH will make an appearance or not. Maybe he'll drop me off and say hi, then pick me up and chat a bit then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132429 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 15:01:49 +0000 bhbee 1132429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for both wedding and baby showers we've done guys just show up in the last 15 minutes to say hi and help load - so not really there for gift opening. my DH actually did not come to my baby shower at all, it was a plane flight away near where I grew up and we decided it wasn't worth the money for him to show up for 15 minutes (but his dad and my brother both did come for the end, since my sister-in-law and mother-in-law both came to the shower). basically I think it works fine either way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132421 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:58:03 +0000 sunny 1132421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132413 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:55:16 +0000 blackbird 1132413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>noooooooo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132349 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 14:20:04 +0000 lemondrop 1132349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all, he went to brunch with the guys. He dropped me off and picked me up, but made a very hasty exit... I tried to drag him down with me, but he wasn't having it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132258 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 13:42:04 +0000 Chocoholic 1132258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had Mine yet but I'm sure it'll be the same as my bridal shower - He'll drop me off and come in to say hi, then come at the end to pack up presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132047 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:10:56 +0000 junebugmama 1132047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MCD919: He said he was more comfortable being there as people were coming in, rather than walking into a huge room of woman, and feeling overwhelmed. Plus he then did get to chit chat a little bit with everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132046 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:10:45 +0000 birdofafeather 1132046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he came toward the end of present opening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132043 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:09:00 +0000 teamjse 1132043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I excused him from my baby shower and he was so glad. I didn't end up opening presents at my shower and we got to open them together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132040 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 12:08:02 +0000 MCD919 1132040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: That's a good idea, too... make a quick appearance &amp; out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132020 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:58:32 +0000 junebugmama 1132020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH actually came at the beginning. It was brunch, so he stayed and greeted people, thanked them for coming, had a bite and left. He also brought our oldest son (my bonus son) with him, so that he could be at some of the shower too and not have to miss out on the celebration </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132012 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:56:54 +0000 MCD919 1132012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: DH would love a beer shower lol</p> <p>Yeah, I think making an appearance at the very end is better than opening all of the presents with me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132011 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:56:13 +0000 tinyperson 1132011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came to pack up presents and get some cake! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1132008 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:55:10 +0000 HabesBabe 1132008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came at the very end to load presents into the car. It was held at his parents' house, too. He came over before the shower started to rescue his dad from the festivities... I think they went to the local watering hole with some of the other husbands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131874 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:11:39 +0000 deerylou 1131874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH showed up at the end for gifts. We also did a name reveal via a big wrapped box of balloons that he had painted with DD's name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131873 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 11:11:13 +0000 artsyfartsy 1131873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will b a lady's only! He will probably show up right at the end to help get gifts into the car. He is having his own "dad shower". Mostly a beer and diaper party.

He doesnt need to be there for the enture opening thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131764 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:44:59 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1131764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He came toward the end of gift opening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131763 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:44:44 +0000 looch 1131763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's really sweet when the dad shows up at the shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131760 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:44:14 +0000 lindseykaye 1131760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - he dropped me off and popped in to say hi for a couple minutes before escaping the crazy ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131750 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:41:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1131750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For family ones he came at the end of me opening gifts, and he helped load them up in the car and was able to say hi to everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ladies-only-baby-shower-did-your-dh-make-an-appearance#post-1131748 Fri, 04 Oct 2013 10:40:10 +0000 JoJoGirl 1131748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the end for presents.

For my wedding shower, he came for presents at the end and was kind of overwhelmed with all of the ladies/ present-opening lol .. but he should be there for part of it right?? It's at his parent's house! </p>
