Also, should he get her a card that says something like " thanks for having my baby" ? If so what would you say?

I don't think so. In my opinion, a gift when the baby is born and a card would be lovely. But you could always get her some flowers for the shower if you are going to be there. She would probably love that! If you know if she's having a boy or girl, go with the theme? And a little teddy bear too in the bouquet. That would be VERY sweet!

Yes I think that would be sweet because most guys don't do anything like that! And write in the card what you feel, make it come from the heart! Personally I would be touched if I was that girl!Good luck && Congrats!

My hubby didn't buy me a gift for the shower--instead he took me out to dinner afterwards to my favorite place and had a piece of jewellery placed on my dessert beforehand and had it brought out to me.....that meant more to me than a baby gift! I love my "mother of my child" ring!

A man/husband/father-to-be doesn't have to buy a gift for his wife to open at the baby shower and they typically don't, but it's definately a nice gesture. My husband got me a gift bag with baby clothes and a Tiffany's silver spoon for our son with his initials in the back and it was the sweetest thing. Everyone at the shower was suprised that he had done all of that. I don't think a card is necessary though. Just a constant reminder of how much she means and how strong the mother-to-be is for carrying and having a baby is enough.

I'm not from a culture that throws baby showers, but I get the impression that they are largely a female affair, hosted by a female relative or friend of the mother-to-be, and with mainly or all-female guests. I don't think it is necessary for a father-to-be to get a gift for his partner at this time. It is a sweet idea though and I'm sure your partner will appreciate it.You may have heard about "push gifts" which are becoming popular, and are given right after the baby arrives. Personally this seems like a better time to give your partner a gift, when she has done the hard work of labor and delivery, and you actually have the baby with you! My husband brought me a beautiful orchid while I was in hospital with my baby, and it has just flowered again this year, so I am enjoying it all over again.

I don't see why not. My husband bought some clothes and baby supplies for my shower. He got me some PJs for the hospital (although they were a little sexy for the intended purpose), and afterwards we went out to dinner. The card just said "with all my love... Daddy" - that was it. It was nice surprise. I say go for it .

Most of the showers I have been to lately are gender-friendly. In other words couples, kids and so forth. Everybody was there. But even if it's just "the girls" I would. You will be Superman and Father of The Year in one stroke. Maybe the bracelet and 1st charm of a charm bracelet. As the years go by you and your child{ren} can add to it and she will have something wonderful to remember for years!

No, a man does not need to buy a gift for his wife or girlfriend to open at a shower. He should get each of them one privately though and make sure that they don't know about each other. It would be awkward otherwise.Seriously though, it is pointless for him to get her something for the shower, but I do think it would be sweet of him to present her with a gift of some kind privately.
