I don't know how to do a poll. Only if your son in law was from out of town, and only very chasidish, did you go with your husband to the bavarfen or you stayed with your daughter and he went himself out of town? Thanks a lot!

Usualy the kallahs mother stays behind with the kallah. The mechutan will go with the brothers and bil. And maybe some uncles...

My mother stayed with me and all my sisters while my father went to the bavarfen in another city/country.

My MIL also stayed with her daughters.

What everyone said. Stay home with your daughter. I wouldn't want to stay alone at home the last shabbos before my wedding, and neither will I do that to my daughtets bl'n.

Its a common practice that the women stay home and the father and brothers and brother in laws go. Some families just the father and single brothers go.
(I am very Chasidish)

באווארפן is the same thing as אויפרוף its just that in the Hungarian /Galician community its called Bavarfen. It comes from the word varf which means to throw (as in throwing the pekelach at the chasan)
Its aliyah Ltorah the shabbos before the wedding.

BIL and uncles only happens if the other side is willing to find accommodations.

My father never went either. He said the kalla's last shabbos in her parents home as a girl she should have her father there too. That was his feeling of a proper "send off" . My father is a true chassidish "chniyok" (if it makes a diff to your results)

You're obviously in the US. In the UK it's unheard of for the father to be away from the family the Shabbos before the girl gets married. If a bavarfen is local, the mechuten and other male members go, otherwise not.

Mazel tov!
I'm not chassidish but do have sons-in-law from other cities. It wasn't practical for my husband to go because of work commitments. I see both sides. I remember once a good friend's husband came in for his future SIL's aufruf Shabbos and because we were so close to all involved we came for dessert on Shabbos and I could see how much the kallah's father was enjoying this Shabbos and getting to know the family. And it was mutual. It can be a lovely thing for shalom.
OTOH, I'm glad my husband couldn't go. It was nice to have him home for that last Shabbos.

I don't know what you'll decide. I hope your machutanim are the type of people who don't stand on ceremony but, if your men are there, will enjoy the opportunity to get to know you all better and that it be mutual.

My dad went with all men In the family, women stayed home with the kallah. I think this is what most people do.

Do whatever is best for your family. Now is the time to show that you are an individual, not a cookie cutter mold.

I think this is the right thing to do.
