If you found out about your surprise shower...did you let anyone know?

Owen&RydersMom

In my circle a small shower for 2nd 3rd or 15th babies are super common.  I didnt think I was having one, but I am pretty sure I am now.  First, my girlfriends daughter told me she bought my baby a lot of clothes.  Then, at my SIL's sisters baby shower, her husband said "one more shower to go" to me.  And then DH asked me to send a text from his phone while he was driving and I saw a text from one of my good friends that said "Invites are out...woohoo!".  That same friend invited me over for a cookout next sunday. 

So, I think I may be having a shower next sunday.  Do I tell DH or anyone else I know or keep quite and practice my shocked face?

Personally, I would keep quiet and act surprised. They seem to have worked pretty hard on this and it might hurt them to know you know.

DH spilled the beans about my surprise shower and I didn't let on to anyone, even that day.  I figured my mom put so much work into it, it wasn't fair to her to spoil the surprise.  In the end, I was surprised because we had so many friends and family show up.

My mom, BFF and DH all told me about my bridal shower b/c they know me the best and know I do not like or react well to surprises.  However, I knew that the rest of my bridal party, friends and family thought it was a surprise and they were excited for it, so I didn't let on that I knew anything.

This. I found out ab my surprise shower and told DH, but only bc he kept expressing his anxiety about having to lie & make up a story about where we would be going and about making sure his DD ( my SD) would be wearing something special etc. But we're not telling anyone else I know. The surprise things is a big deal for my mom.

I would act surprised since no one actually "told" you.  It is not that hard...especially in your situation considering showers are given for EVERY baby born in your circle.  They are going to have to know you expected one (which you did expect one).

My DH told me about both of my surprise showers (one last weekend, one coming in June). I only told my best friend that I knew about them. Everyone works so hard for the surprise and my family especially was really proud of the fact that they surprised so I didn't want to ruin that for them.
