DEAR ABBY: There are two nice young men working in our office. One is being married in a few months, and the other man's wife is expecting a baby around the same time.
Is it appropriate to give them showers? How about a combined shower? Or is the whole idea of showers for men just not done? -- CURIOUS OFFICE MATE
DEAR CURIOUS: Not done? Joint showers are a terrific concept. Invite the bride-to-be and the mother-to-be and make it a "Jack and Jill" shower. I see nothing inappropriate about showering good wishes and all that goes with them on these young couples.
