Help me out ladies: RE friends' baby shower

BookwormyoneBookwormyone member
in December 2011 Moms

My two good friends are having a baby.  One of them is pregnant through IUI and her wife is feeling a little left out.  She's not the biological mom of this baby, but she IS one of her moms and I want to make sure she feels included in the baby shower. 

Can anyone think of any good ideas of ways to make her feel important at the shower like the pregnant MTB? 

For the record, her pregnant wife is 100% on board with this.  We're struggling to come up with some good ideas.

    You could always try asking the LGBT Parenting board....they might have some ideas/experiences to share.

    I would ask the LGBT board too but while I'm here, I'll share my suggestion...

    You could set up the shower to be a shower for BOTH of them and not just "Congratulations Nancy."  Make it "Congratulations Nancy and Diane."  Put both names on the shower invitation (if they didn't go out already).  Have them both wear "Mother-to-be" sashes and both open gifts.
