How many people at baby shower?

msjcordova · April 2011

DW and I have helped my mom compile a list of people that we would like to invite to the baby shower.

We only invited family (we both have large families and are very close to them) a few close friends and only a few choice and close co workers.

I added them all up today....93! ::Gulp!::

We don't want to leave any important people out but I feel like thats a lot!

20.

That's mostly close friends and a few fam members that live close by. I decided not to invite my CW friends, etc.

I had three and there were about 20 at each.

My mom has invited 36 - family and a couple friends. With that being said that is my family in Indiana and I'm flying home for that shower and I live in Maine. My in-laws are planning a shower for up here too which will have about the same amount of people.

I think I'm roughly inviting 50, but I really don't expect that many to come. I'll be happy if 25 show. My first baby shower with my daughter back in 2004 was the pits (for multiple reasons) so I'm hopeful this one will be the "memorable" one I want.

Inviting 50 and expecting 40 to show up. We had 90 people at our wedding and it sucked not having time to talk with everyone. You could have a couple different showers.... split up the mob?

I really really wish we could do this, however no one on DW's side has offered to throw us one.

We're inviting 25 people and some of them are out of town so I think that probably 20 will show up

I believe 85 were invited and 65 showed up and the others sent stuff to be at shower. DH has a huge family. This wasn't counting kids under 18 either that attended.

Gifts literally took 2 hours without breaks.

Boooo! On the flipside maybe no offer was extended because a surprise is in the works? Just sayin.

I have around the same number as you. Some out of towners that I just have to extend the invite to so DH grandmother does not yell at me. LOL. But I expect around 60 to show up like my wedding shower. It will all work out and be fun!

Is it totally out of the question to throw yourself one? I'm just saying if it's too hectic to think of that many people at one time. Then again, putting together a shower on your own could be stressful. Maybe someone would offer to take over then?

I had two showers with my last pregnancy - one work shower with about 15 people and one for family/friends with 65 people. DH and I both have large families.
