Told my bro over drinks that I wasn't going. He was surprisingly cool about it. Turns out it was a fiance driven decision to do a joint shower. Shocker. She might not be too happy about but but whatever

Glad to hear your brother is okay with it. I wouldn't worry too much about his fiancee, she's probably got a ton of other stuff she's got going on with wedding planning that it will just be a blip on the radar for her and she will forget about it. And if she really is upset and it's an issue for her, that's her problem, not yours. Your life shouldn't have to revolve around someone else's wedding. Have fun!
LOL!!! I'm laughing because we, too, attend a festival every year without fail. And everyone knows we do this, and they know that we will not interfere with that plan for any reason. It is that cut 'n' dried. I tell people that I wouldn't attend my own funeral during that festival.
So if your friends and family know you do this then I doubt they'd be surprised enough to get upset about it. A shower isn't worth a trek.
There are so many stereotypes in this thread. As a woman I hate (and yes the feeling is this strong)bridal and baby showers that are women only with games. They are pushing a sexist and demeaning view that should have been eliminated years ago. So, no I never attend them. In fact I got invited to one for the woman marrying a cousin and am not going. They are the worst thing and if women have to suffer through them so should men.
When I marry I would only accept a coed shower with no games, more like a regular party. If by chance anyone plans a shower for me with only women without my permission I will walk out and have told people this.
If women have to suffer through baby showers, so should men. It is a nightmare, which is why I hate baby showers even more than bridal showers. Hearing about childbirth and all of that? no thanks, I'll pass.
