Should father's name be included in baby shower invitations?
If the shower is a couple's baby shower, then the father's name
should be included on the invitation. While not the norm, couple's
or coed baby showers are gaining in popularity as today's dads are
becoming more involved in raising their children than in past
generations. For a couple's baby shower, male and female friends of
the couple would be invited to attend.
If the baby shower is only for the mother-to-be, then the
father's name should not appear on the baby shower invitation. In
this case, usually only female friends and relatives of the
mommy-to-be would be invited.
