In the past and traditionally, yes, but the baby shower trend had changed over the years. It’s now accepted to invite both sexes to attend the party and shower both the mom-to-be or the mom and her unborn or newborn with love, care, and presents – this is called a co-ed baby shower. It’s a “family thing,” and family is not gender-specific, after all. The “give and take” process doesn’t need to specify which gender gives or takes – if you’re pregnant now, the taking is yours. In time, it’s your turn to give by then. Mostly though, it depends on your preferred theme and what sort of gathering you’re expecting.
