Except to ours. I made him go to ours.
No I wouldn't make him go to a couples shower, but what you have described sounds more like a family get together...with his family. The other men are his brothers and BIL's? I'm sure the guys will find other things to do besides drink.
I don't understand having alcohol at a party where the guest of honor can't drink.I don’t really understand the point of have a party for a pregnant woman where half the party plans on getting drunk.
I think they are boring for both. I was able to help out with the food during most of the games, and then I snuck out, before I had to play any. The whole draw on a onesie, pick the name, write inspirational messages on a diaper, baby gift bingo, are not my thing either. I just didn’t think that DH should have had to go, just because it was a couples invite. DH did go spend the next day with his family hanging out and playing cards, while I was at work.How is a shower more boring for a man than a woman? Seriously, I don't get it. I've gone to many co ed showers and it's just a party/get together with food, drinks and eventually opening some gifts. No different than a birthday party, house warming, Christmas party etc.

Boring for both + It's his sister = I think he should go.I think they are boring for both.

Why?Have you ever been to a birthday party for a one year old? That's the perfect scenario of why you SHOULD have alcohol at a party where the guest of honor can't drink.
And if you didn't want to go to his sister's shower?Okay haven’t read all the responses. But I never “make” my DH do anything just like I don’t let him do things. He is an adult he can make his own choices. I ask he declines, ok. If it is important to me he already knows and will respond accordingly.

Because a birthday party for a one year old is no fun for anybody except for the baby's mom and dad.Why?

I don't "make" my husband do anything.
So grown adults have to have alcohol in order to participate in obligatory family events?? I guess I don’t feel the need to be constantly entertained & attend some family functions b/c I should. I guess no one sucks anything up anymore? I also don’t invite ppl to those occasions who aren’t close family or friends so I would hope it’s not as intolerable to them as you make it seem since they’re likely close to the child who’s bday it is.Because a birthday party for a one year old is no fun for anybody except for the baby's mom and dad.
