I think it's just because people don't really hear about drinking at a baby shower you know but every one is different and likes to do things different. And about the gifts I assume that the ppl going at least they take a little outfit you know lol I know personally if I don't have money for a gift I don't go to a party. But I hope you have a nice shower however you decide to make it

No, that is not the case. The point that we are all making is that a baby shower doesn't typically include alcohol in the first place nor do most men have a diaper shower.

To say that women are to bring gifts and men to bring diapers is more than suggestive.

The thing about baby showers is that they are a gift from your host and your loved ones (not everyone you ever met to try to score big on your registry) bring a gift of what they can afford and or what they put their hearts into. Gifts are gestures and should not be expected to any degree. If you are hosting your own shower, well... I shouldn't touch that subject because my opinion on that is very strong.

Whining about getting honest opinions isn't very adult like. Take the opinions you get, process them and impliment what works best for your situation. Don't cry that everyone is mean when nobody was.

First, there are more and more men having diaper parties, I have heard of them, and when doing searches online it talks of different kinds of diaper parties and it has mentioned that sometimes men drink beer, so please don't attack me. Second, if you would read the original question, you would see that I said my sister and my fiance's sister are hosting the shower. My fiance has an older son, but due to certain circumstances that are none of your business or anyone else's, he was unable to be a part of the pregnancy etc... and plus he is a recovering alcoholic and I want to give him and have him experience everything just like me, since he didn't get to experience anything with his first son that he loves very much and this is my first child and I wanted to have him experience everything there is without having to be surrounded by booze. And thirdly, I do value everyone's opinion on the matter if it is honest and isn't an attack on me or making assumptions of the type of person I am, by someone who does not know me or the situation. You are going off on this tangent that I believe baby showers have booze and that I am greedy self absorbed individual that just wants to get the most I can get. And as to that, you know what you can do with your opinion and I would appreciate you no longer sharing your distorted opinion, that has nothing to do with the situation, on my post.

I understand, and I know that people don't drink at baby showers but I have done searches online when it comes to diaper parties, to educate myself on them and they have mentioned that sometimes men drink and that's the whole point of this question, that how can I go about having my fiance experience everything without the fear of alcohol. that was the point of the question   Thank you

Yeah I guess it just depend on the people you know? Like if I did one I wouldn't want alcohol there plus we don't even drink lol by we it's me and SO.
But you can have a talk with your SO and see what he thinks about having alcohol there?
Good luck

LMAO!!!

There you go again. WAAAAAA everybody is picking on me. I am not on a tangent. I answered honestly and you didn't like it. Nothing more nothing less. Distorted opinion! LOL I guess the fact that I AM in fact a mother and likely have several years on you means nothing when it comes to these types of matters. Yes, you are self absorbed. If you can't read what I wrote and get the point from it rather than throw a temper tantrum. I never said you are greedy. You were talking about putting on the invites that girls were to bring gifts and guys to bring diapers. I told you that it is more than suggestive. It is. It gives the impression that you have a requirement.

No, most men don't have diaper showers. Some do but most really don't and if they do, alcohol is not always included. It is a choice of the host and the guest of honor.

I don't care about his past personal life, nor do I care about yours. I am sure that I could guess the reasons though.

Alcohol is NOT common at a baby shower. It is an etiquette type of thing. If your SO wants to have a diaper shower, and he doesn't want alcohol there, he just needs to speak up.

As to that, you know what you can do with your immature tantrums mmmmkkkk punkin.
