I get a roll of duct tape every year for both my birthday and christmas . I made a duct tape prom dress and have made everything from pants to wallets to safety vests for my dog ^-^. I’m sure Duct tape will appear at my bridal shower too .

I think a Man Shower is a great idea , equal op.s and all that jazz!!

I don’t know, Dynamite Weddings, that sounds more like a potluck barbeque than a shower to me. If the guest of honor isn’t ‘showered’ with gifts, how can it be a shower?

Perhaps it will become a trend, but it doesn’t sound much like it is one already from where I’m sitting.

I kind of have to go with blablover5 overall. One shower for both makes more sense than separate showers for each. After all, most of the things given at showers are for both, anyway, in the longrun. Even if he doesn’t care what pattern the plates are, he’ll be eating off them, and even if she has no clue what the thread count on the sheets is, she’ll still be sleeping in them. Same with tools. If she’s the plumber and he’s the gardener – or vice versa – both of them will reap the benefits of having the correct tools for both purposes.

Shower/wedding gifts are really about setting up a household. Why not give them to both parties at both parties?

In the end, though, it’s really up to the honor attendants which parties are thrown in what manner for which member of the wedding. A guy can hint in either direction, but it’s ultimately up to his honor attendant whether or not he gets a shower.

I think most men would love a man shower, but how many soon-to-be grooms have a friend willing to throw them a “shower”? Not many. Men have man showers now, but all their friends bring are meats to BBQ and beer. Maybe that’s why we don’t hear about them. Does that count?

I think that it makes more sense to have co-ed showers. After all you’re both getting married why should one gender or the other have their own parties.

Is anyone else as grossed out as I am by the thought of eating off of old licese plates? And Mr. Twistie would probably be paralyzed with horror if confronted with that concept.

As far as I’m concerned, if women can have bachelorette parties, men can have all the showers they like…but it doesn’t sound like much of a trend to me if there’s one, lone example that everyone is referring to. Once is an oddity. It takes a whole lot more than that to make a trend.

Rush is probably just upset because he knows that if anyone ever invited him to a man shower, he’d lose the nail-pounding contest. Also, since when is Lowe’s Home Improvement a housecleaning store?
