shower ?

LyndseyLC

MIL and my grandma offered to have a baby shower!

I made a tentative guest list for each. Right now I have 17guests for my Grandmas and 31 guests (this includes friends and co-workers) for my MILs.  Both numbers seem so large.  I know a few that wont be able to make it anyways, but still.  What to do?

I would ask the hosts how many they would like to see, and then go from there. Since they are paying for it, they should probably have a say-so. 

I had a separate shower at work, so I didn't invite co-workers to any other showers.

Those don't seem like too huge of numbers.  If you are really concerned though could you possibly not invite coworkers?  If they don't come to either shower they will probably want to do something small for you at work anyway.

If you're good friends with coworkers I'd invite them, if you're not I wouldn't.  Like PP have said, both my work and my DHs work gave us gifts.  My office I was one of 5 so they ordered in lunch and they'd all pooled together to get me an exersaucer.  My DH's office actually gave us a shower (he worked with mostly women who wanted to be grandmas) and had pizza/cake and gifts in a conference room.

Neither list seems excessive to me, I had about 20 at my MIL's house and around 30 at my aunt's house for showers.

I don't think either seems that big. We had about 25 at the one my sisters threw me (at a restaurant's back room) and my MIL's shower was a double shower w/ my SIL and there were probably 35 people there. And I invited only like 2 or 3 coworkers that I'm really close to outside of work. Work threw us a little mini-shower after baby was born.

THIS! I have about 50-60 people to invite, hopefully not all will show but still need to invite everyone so nobody feels left out. Doesn't seem like you have too many people! Hopefully some won't show?
