ADVICE NEEDED!!
So my husband and I moved 3,000 miles away from the majority of our friends and family last year. We have made a few friends through work since moving here, but safe to say most of the people we know well and communicate with are still back home. We are planning to have a small shower up here in mid to late November, and besides my parents I am 99.999999% sure no one back home would travel all the way here for our shower. HOWEVER, is there a tactful way to include the rest of our friends & family without us looking like we are just greedy for gifts?? We DO need things for baby, but it's more than just that. I feel genuinely bad about keeping our shower and registry info from some people that I know 100% would be at our shower if we were still back home. Do we send them shower invites anyway with our registry details? I feel like even that is sort of greedy. Maybe send out invites without the registry info?? I don't know, I'm so lost!
When we got married we still lived at home so everyone got the same invitation with our wedding registry info on a little separate card, and our super close family/ friends who were out of state got one too but it was just kind of understood that they wouldn't make it but we were including them anyway. Now it's weird though because the majority of people we are close to are far away.
What do you ladies think??

I would say send them to the people back home that you still communicate with regularly and send thank you cards. They'll feel included and appreciated.
Send them the invites with the registry info. At least they will feel included instead of them thinking you just didnt invite them at all. If they care about yiu guys enough buying one gift wint be a big deal. If anything, they will be happy that they got to be there for yiu somehow. We all know the point of a shower us mostly for the gifts. when the shower is over send out thank you cards. :) Good Luck!
I had this conversation with my hubby today lol. we moved to Ohio and all his family is in Texas. I'd say send the information to them just so they don't feel left out. what they choose to do AFTER that is up to them 😊
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?

So My coworker does not get vaccinated for anything due to religious practices and she’s worried about our job making it mandatory since they discussed it earlier this week. It’s crazy how when vaccines even started or came about we were told it would be voluntary but now it’s mandatory and people need a verification card to go certain places. We even have certain states doing lottery drawings just to make people get it. people shouldn’t fear losing their jobs or having to go against their relig...
Pretty depressed right now making a list of ppl to invite to my baby shower. I dont have anyone to invite. Just family and no friends. This is gonna be embarrassing af.
I told my friend my mom wants to throw me a baby shower and write on the invite "monetary gifts only" and he told me that people aren't trying to pay for my "gas bill" I'm offended because a lot of money goes into a baby shower, and if you're gonna give me a 10$ blanket from Ross that I probably won't even use it's a waste. I rather use those 10$ for my honest company diaper subscription.
I made a facebook event for ours because our family and friends are 1000 miles apart and I knew no one could travel just for the baby shower. it has all my registry info in the event info
