Baby Shower Size?

je2161 · February 2011

I am just curious... How many people are coming to your baby showers?

I am having a total of 12-14 guests, so overall it's a pretty small gathering.

Mine might have as many as yours, if that.

Mine is going to be a co-ed shindig, so we're expecting it to be large. (50+ people)

Around 50 at one, around 40 at another.

No idea about MIL's shower. She invited the members of her church and her side of the family.

My mom's shower is probably around 20-30 people.

Work is throwing me a shower as well with probably 15ish people.

My family and DH's family decided to do one large shower rather than two smaller ones. I think about 50 people are invited.

I think I had 18. It was all family though, I only had one friend there because we had it in Miami and most of my friends live in MI or ATL.

I listed 20 people for the invite list, all women, friends that I have talked to in the past year and some family members, like moms, grandmas and aunts. My friend is hosting a tea party at her home. I am very excited about how it turns out! She loves to entertain!

Though to you may seem like a small gathering, I think that's the perfect size. Mine had about 15 people. It's not too many people to be overwhelming to socialize/talk to everyone, plus opening the gifts.

At my DH family shower 14; at my family shower maybe 7 at the most. Almost wondering if I should just not worry about it and pass since it will be so small

my aunt is throwing me a shower and we are inviting 50-60 people. I have a huge family though!

It seems a bit small to me, since my cousin had over 50 people at her baby shower, but I tend to prefer smaller gatherings anyway. It's true that at these smaller gatherings, you can more meaningfully interact with all of the guests personally.

my first had 15, my second (co ed with hubby) will have more like 30.

We are inviting about 90 people. It's gonna be much larger than I ever imagined but it's both sides of our family and my friends. Soooo yah.

pinkpear · February 2011

My first one was a bit crazy from work so there were over 150 people. I didn't really care for the size but had no choice. My second will have about 25 and my third will be about 12. I'm looking forward to the small one the most!

andigurl · February 2011

There are just over 20 people on my guest list. We don't have much family in the area though, and I'm only inviting people that I'm close to. I just don't want my friends that are hosting to have to put on some great big "to-do". I think it'll be fun to have an intimate affair.

Gigi2195 · February 2011

My shower is co-ed and we're expecting 50-60 ppl. My husband is the youngest of 8 children so the guests are mostly family.

munsterdani · February 2011

My first shower we're inviting about 20 people. There will probably be about that many at each of my other 2 showers as well.

Angel0423 · February 2011

per the number of invites sent out 70+, we'll see with the RSVP's.

kikibird · February 2011

Invites are going out to about 70 people, but the majority are family, and some long distance, so realistically probably only about 20-30 people will be able to come. At least I'm hoping so, it could be less than that, depending on people's schedules.
