Did your FH attend any part of your bridal shower?

I have been to showers with both scenarios , where the guy attends for the presents opening and where he comes at the end. Mine is coming at the end to pick me up, help with gifts and to eat some food LOL.

I (think) FH's come to wedding showers but the bridal showers are meant to not have men there. I (think) they are "ladies only" because of the possibility of receiving lingerie. I'm not 100% on that, though. That is just my understanding of it.

All the ones I've been to have the future husband coming at the end to thank everyone and load up the car/cars! That's what mine will be doing.

I've never been to a shower and never heard of this before either. Me personally I'm looking forward to some girl time, I'm sure FH can hang out with some of the SOs of the women invited to the shower or keep himself busy somehow.

The question is do YOU want him to show up? If yes then talk to him, if not then just keep it as you originally thought of it.

I am kind of torn on this. My FH wants to be there, but I have the same attitude that it is usually girls only.

I think my FH and my dad will come at the end, eat some cake, and load up gifts.

FH does not want to be there at all which is fine by me! He will come at the end to help load and eat of course!

I've never seen a FH come during gift opening, but they usually always come at the end to say hi and thank everyone quickly, and then to help load the car. That's what I'm going to have my FH do.

I've never seen the FH come *during* gift opening. I've only seen him arrive at the end - after gifts have been opened - to help load the car and say hi to everyone.

We called ours a "wedding shower" instead of bridal shower and My FH came for the whole thing. My mom booked a hall that required a minimum of 50 people for the shower so she eventually invited guys too when she realized not enough women were coming. She set up a guys table with games but they ended up loving what games we were playing and participated as well. My FH, dad, brothers, Future father in law, my grandfather, my FHs best man and a few of the bridesmaids SOs were there

My FMIL just had this conversation with me.. I was under the presumption FH would just come for the end of the shower and apparently, she thinks he should be there the entire time (which I know he'll hate..) personally my wedding/shower are still far out so I'm not too worried about it yet. But I am curious about what others have to say about this. Following!

Mine showed up after gifts were done and brought flowers (per the guidance of my BM apparently) He said a quick hello to everyone and then the shower was basically done.

However, when I was a MOH last year and threw the shower for the bride, we had her FH show up halfway through b/c there were a few games that we needed them both there for and he stayed through the gift opening. I think it can go either way

I asked that my FH come towards the end. The gifts are just as much for him as for me, so I would like him to be there to thank everyone.

My FH came to open gifts with me at the end. I have also been to showers where the groom didn't come. I think it is just personal preference.

H was there the entire time. It was a co-ed wedding shower.

Yes, he was there for the whole shower. In my family, the grooms always stay for the whole shower.

I have been to one shower where the groom showed up at the end. He didn't stay to open gifts. He just made an appearance. It's seemed kind of forced and awkward. Let him stay home.

FH attendance isn't required. It's up to you and if you want him they to open gifts with you.

FH drove me there so he popped in to greet people and at the end when he came to pick me up

I had 2 showers. One was females only and my husband did not come at all (even though it was hosted at our house (not by me)). We also had a couples shower that we both attended.
