But, I received an invitation in the mail.
Is it expected of everyone that receives an invitation to purchase a gift whether they go or not?
I know it's expected with weddings, but I have never been invited to a baby shower before.

Baby showers are usually girl only events.

Whats with guys being invited these days?

I dunno, it seems to me as if baby showers are giant 'by me a gift' pleas, they send invites to everyone they know, the bigger the net the more gifts they'll get.

You don't HAVE to get a gift, but it is your sister.
Get her something small if you don't want to go. Usually, there is some weird unwritten rule that it is nice to get a gift whether or not you attend, but you don't have to.

Men dont go to the showers. If you still received an invite, make a brief appearance at the end of the shower.

Yeah its supposed to be like the girls version of a guys bachelors party. That makes no sense to invite guys to one other then to be materalistic and try to get as much free stuff as you can I would think.

Guys would be bored to death at one of them and who would really want to see some guy striping and getting drunk on girly drinks :p

Or you could show up with a keg and brink your own stripper to it :)

showers are for chicks, i don't care how you roll, you don't have to go, since you are a dude

It's not like I won't buy a gift. I just don't know if it's expected of people that don't show.
I don't want to go to the baby shower. So I am not going...lol.

So you're getting her a gift even though you're not going. No problem there. /thread

My brother's wife is hosting a baby shower for a friend where guys and girls are getting hooked in. My brother has a master plan to set up a Plasma TV with a PS3 in one room for all the guys to run away to.

seems now baby showers are for both men and women. we have gone to 5 in the last 2 years every one was a mixed event.

Call your sister and tell her that you won't go because it's a girl's thing. It's your sister man, you can talk to her. No shows are rude.

my cousin had a baby shower earlier this month and her close male family... brother in law, nephew, father, were there along with a couple of male friends... and the dad to be of course.

ask her if other guys are going. might be fun. free food. and prizes.

Ummm. it is your sister. Unless she lives very far away, you are expected to go, and why not anyways?
