I did...It was for our Friend Cathy...and since DH was the Best Man at the wedding...I thought it would be poor taste not to go. I ended up meeting some really nice people there...and I'm very happy I went.

I wouldn't. I did it once and i was extremely uncomfortable. I am pretty outgoing, but apparently no one at this shower was so i sat for 4 hours and never spoke a word or was spoken to! However, this girl was a marrying my guy friend and was not a close friend of mine. I now usually send a gift but don't go.

Sure! You will meet other people there and then you will know them when the bachelorette party and wedding come around.

I have gone to a baby shower where I was sitting at the table with with the girl's husbands sisters and did not know any of them. At the end of the shower it was like I had been friends with them for years.

Another friend of mine for her bridal shower I only knew her and by the time her baby shower was around I was calling up other people to find out who was going.

You meet some new people and ya never know it is a small world.

Yes, I'll be in the situation soon. I'm going in order to be there for my friend. Either I'll meet some new people or I'll just get through those few hours.
