Guest List Question

*Erin&Mike**Erin&Mike*
in Baby Showers

Hi Ladies,

A friend of mine has offered to throw me a shower (VERY SWEET OF HER!)  We have a lot of friends in the area-and I have no idea if we will get another shower (we are grateful for just one!)  I'm curious as to how many people should be on the guest list though.  I don't want to overwhelm her at all, but I don't want to offend anyone by not inviting them.  Does that make sense?  So how many is reasonable?  How many is to much?

TIA!

    I would run it by her. Ask her how many guests she would like on the guest list. Then you will have a better idea, and can tailor your guest lists to that number. Good luck :)

    I would def check with the host to see what she was thinking.

    Ditto on asking her--

    also i think it is safe to invite 10-20% more than the max--as that many people usually cant make it

    Talk to your host because a lot would depend on where the shower will be. For a home shower, I think the guest list should be small 20-25 people or so. Think about how crowded someone's living room gets with a lot of people. I went to a wedding shower with 50-60 guest in someone's house, there was no where to sit and it was very hot and uncomfortable.

    ok, so just think of this.............not everyone you invite will come, but they will have an invitation if they still want to get you something. My sister is giving me mine and I gave her my number and made sure it was ok. She was totally fine with it. But just because you invite 60, I would say your more likely to get around 40 guests there. Good Luck!
