So.... having a baby shower after all. And my god mom who's doing the planning for me just told me to make a list of invitees. And oh, women only. No men, no children. Only becuz we want people to come with a gift and not just come looking to eat.
Now before I spazz on her because I'm very offended by that comment, I would like to get a second opinion. Is she justified in saying that because she's putting everything together? Because I know my brother and uncles will go all the way out of their way to get me the perfect gifts for my baby and not just come expecting food. My nieces nephews and little cousins can't afford to bring gifts cuz, hello, they're kids. But it's a baby shower for ME, THE ONE HAVING THE BABY and I want my whole family there. Should I say something to her or stay shut cuz she's throwing it together for me??
Keep in mind I didn't want the shower after I tried throwing it for myself, by myself, and she was nowhere to be found. I bought most of my registry so gifts would only be onesies diapers and wipes. Which I can also buy myself. I'm not having this because I'm asking for help. I'm having this BS cuz I want my family around to celebrate my miracle princess.
Dont say anything but invite who ever you want .... my grandmother tried to say the same thing and i said if thats the case im not going lol
Just tell her that you appreciate her throwing you the shower (even if you're not happy about it) and tell her you want certain people there, and if she doesn't agree to it then invite them yourself, that's what I did when my MIL threw me one, she refused to invite my mother because my mom did some things in the past (a very long time ago) that's still causing me problems but I still wanted her there so I invited her myself. I wasn't about to let her invite all of her family and none of mine 😡
Lol thank you ladies @bri61217 @jc2015 @erica95 I'm going to invite them anyway. But I think she's trying to get a cheap place that doesn't hold a lot of people and I'm afraid there won't be enough room for all my family.
