Awkward shower question

Hey all. So I am 99% sure my best friend will be throwing me a shower, but he hasn't said anything about it at this point. (It's early--I'm due in February.) Anyhow, my mom and several other people have asked me if I'm having a shower, and I don't know what to say. Given my due date is right after the holidays, I don't think we'd want to have it any later than the first or second weekend in November--which will be here sooner than you know it. I'd feel tacky even dropping hints to him to see if he's thinking about throwing a showerl, but I'm not sure what else to do.

 Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: Awkward shower question

  • I would just wait it out.  If someone else wants to throw you one first, just go with it :)  He may be thinking of doing it closer to your due date, which means he probably doesn't think it's necessary to start planning yet.
  • Could you have your Mom send him an email asking if he wants to help?  Then he can tell her what he was thinking.

  • I'm kind of in the same boat as you, but I have much less certainty. People keep asking me when my shower will be, and I can never give them an answer. Most of my friends are still in college, and they all say that they;re going to get together and throw a shower. But... well, college students don't have a reputation of dependability, right? And my FI's mom says she's definitely throwing one, but... I just don't know. I sure wish someone would clue me in.
  • mention something to your friend that your mom may want to throw you one. if she's planning on throwing it, she'll speak up. if she doesn't say anything, tell your mom that you don't have plans for one yet. better safe than sorry.
  • Thanks you guys. I'm sure it will work out--I just need to chill. (I may have my mom email him, though--that's a good idea! Big Smile)

     

     

  • I wouldn't ask him...if he wants to do it (or anyone does) they'll offer and you can graciously accept.

    Personally, if you're not due till Feb I probably would have the shower in Jan after the holidays, not in November.

  • I'm due late Feb and have been thinking about having the shower the very first weekend of Feb, or late in Jan bc of the holidays like you said. If you're due earlier in Feb then maybe Jan would be good for you too? Either way, don't cheat yourself out of it :)

    You should just ask him if he thinks you should have a shower bc of the holidays and see what he says. I'd hope he would tell you for the simple fact that you don't have someone else throw it like your mom or someone.

  • why are you 99% sure? because he's your best friend or cause you're just assuming or cause he's hinted?personally i wouldnt assume anything and id tell people inquiring that you dont know when your shower is cause you dont know if youre even having one... then if someone else offers you can accept and definitely be having one!
