Groom attending bridal shower?

My husband brought me to the shower (it was a surprise to me), made a quick round saying hello, and then didn't come back until the end to help with the presents.

Personally I've never been to a Bridal shower where the groom stayed the whole time. I've been to some where they come for short periods, or not at all.

I don't think it's weird if the groom is there. And I certainly don't think there are any etiquette rules that would be broken if he stayed.

Traditionally, no. Showers are generally ladies-only events. I have heard of the man coming to the gift-opening portion of a (more traditional) baby shower, but never a bridal shower. Really, it is up to whoever hosts, though. If they decide to throw a "Couple's Shower" instead of a bridal shower, then your fiance could attend; otherwise, I'd have him stay home for the duration.

Traditionally a shower has been a ladies only event, but that's changing. Couples showers are becoming more common to include the groom. I say do whatever you're comfortable with.

Oh eta: my mom's friend offered to throw me a shower. She asked if I wanted to do a couple's shower or traditional, I said traditional. I doubt my FH has much interest in attending

Mine was a surprise location (I was taken out of the house for them to decorate, they went to restruant and long story short I stopped by and was surprised) my FH picked up my parents who flew in as a surprise, and he stayed for maybe 10 min for the surprise,

His dad , brother my dad and FH went out to eat elsewhere and they showed up around clean up time to load everything and pick us up

I have only ever seen the groom come at the end to help load gifts into the car, never stay for the whole time unless it's a co-ed shower.

Honestly most guys never want to go, they would rather have a guys only event. I have seen quite a few times were the dad's, brothers and close friends take the groom out for some golf, skiing or some other event.

Traditionally it's ladies-only, but I've seen the groom come at the end to help with presents.
