if there isn’t a groom’s shower tradition, i wouldn’t fault you for starting one. personally, i wish there were more groom-centric events so that they could feel more a part of the process… i feel like the “wedding” is too abstract of a concept for some men to grasp so many months in advance–a few pre-wedding events to start grounding it in reality for them wouldn’t be so bad!

that is just too cute!

oh yes i definitely envision wings and beer but in a more orderly fashion. this is going to be so much fun planning. A GROOM’S SHOWER haha i love it. Stay tuned people haha…

My fiance and I are having a joint co-ed bridal/groom shower. My matron of honor and bride’s maids are doing all the planning but its going to be a guy friendly (and actually family friendly, kids are invited) BBQ/Crab feast (I’m originally from Md.) event. Plus, I’m so close with many of my friends’ husbands (I went to college with many of them) that if I’m in town I want to see everyone.

Actually, they’re typically called Honeydew showers. (As in, “‘Honey, do’ you think you could do this for me…?”) What I’ve seen some grooms do is register at someplace like Sears or Home Depot for tools or other things typically thought of as “male”.

For what one actually looks like, I’m not sure. But that’s what I’ve seen them called.

We have lots of wedding showers here in the South. It’s not strange for there to be 4 or more showers leading up to the wedding. We’re having a stock-the-bar party this weekend. I’ve been to tool showers, tool & garden showers, around the house showers (this is more a couple-thing than just a groom thing), gift certificate showers (again, this works for both - gift certificates for restaurants, stores where you’re registered, etc). My brother had just a general “guy shower” - he got most tools and things for the yard.
