Hostess gift question

RadlerRadler member
in Baby Showers

Two friends offered to throw me a shower, and then later I found out it will be held at a third friend's house. I know all three of them are working on the planning together, so I was going to get three hostess gifts. BUT, it just occurred to me that some of others might be helping out, too .... I don't want to leave anyone out with the gifts!

I could ask the main "planner" if anyone else is helping (it's not at her house but it sounds like she's doing most of the work) but I don't want it to be obvious that I'm just wondering how many hostess gifts to get! :) WWYD? Get gifts for just the three friends I know are working on the shower? Wait and see if it's obvious at the shower if anyone else helped? 

 

After 7 failed IUIs, IVF w/ ICSI worked!!

I am thankful every day for my miracle after infertility.

And thrilled to be pregnant again after FET!

    Is your shower planning a secret from you? Closer to your shower date can you ask the main host who has been helping her because you would like to know who to thank? You don't have to mention a gift.

    I would get the three a gift, and if you see others helping I would spend more time on their thank you notes. My mother paid for my entire shower, but my aunt made the food, and my best friend organized the games. Also a few of my moms friends helped her set up the club house. So the main hostess gift is going to my mom, and I'll send a smaller gift to my aunt and friend. My mom is doing something for the friends who helped her, and I'm just spending more time on their thank yous.

    Just ask.  No one is going to think that you are horrible for wanting to make sure that you thank all of the people that helped out with your shower.
