Of course you should invite your friend and his wife. Then you should do him a solid and knock her up while she's there.

You definitely shouldn't invite them mostly because they live 4 hours away from you and slightly because your buddy is shooting blanks. If I had a friend, even a really close one invite me to a co-ed baby shower 4 hours away all I would think is he is shopping for a gift. A gift they would have received regardless of the invite but now it is going to be some noise maker that will cause some revenge down the line. Get over yourselves, this isn't a wedding. It is a dumb co-ed shower that tells all your friends that your wife is running the show. 1 hour circumference tops on invites you #####-whipped .

Invite them just like anybody else without making a big deal of it. Calling more attention to it just makes it worse. That's the way we would have wanted it and we went through IVF with both kids.
And, coed baby showers are pretty bad. If you want to throw a party, throw a party. But don't pretend that a shower is anything other than what it really is. If you want to make the guys happy, let the womenfolk get together and go to a bar or play golf while they're doing the baby shower.

I am basically your college buddy (see: "trouble getting pregnant" thread). We have friends spitting out kids left and right. I don't get too emotional about the baby shower/birthday party invites,* but my wife has a rough day or two when we get them. That said, we enjoy kids and appreciate the invites. It's just the reminder that sucks.
I like the above. You can't just not invite him and not say anything.
*Personally, I try to stay away from baby showers and birthdays but I did that believe the fertility issues and I go to them now because they're important to my wife and those who invited me. I just pray there's sports and beer there.

Eh, if this was my college buddy only in this particular situation I'd want the call (or hell, even a text). Maybe AngryWife handles it better than Mrs. Woz, but I'd appreciate the heads up to screen the invite because if it's arriving at a rough time (like now is for us) and I knew we couldn't go, I'd rather not get the invite.bentley said:
