I don't make my husband go anywhere he doesn't want to go. He's pretty social, though, so I wouldn't have to do any convincing to get him to go to a party, especially if it's with people he enjoys hanging out with.
We had a coed shiwer for my sister since they had lots of male friends who wanted to celebrate their baby as much as their female friends. Ir wasn't your traditional shower but everyone had a blast. We only had a couple of games no one was required to played but we foun
d most of the male guests did. Maybe we just gave a great group of friends and family that like to have fun no matter what the occasion.
