Many PRESENT DAY showers do have men, including the groom present. We prob would have had the groom to be at the shower we had for our niece, at least at the end so he could eat, but he’s a pharmacist at Walgreens and has to work until 6pm most weekends. we did send him food with the bridetobe.
No man has an interest in being at a hen party, I assure you.
Whether today, twenty years ago, or twenty years from now.
