Baby shower question

My SIL is pregnant and I think I will be the one throwing her a shower - my question is did both moms attend the shower or just the one carrying?

Re: Baby shower question

  • It was for both of us. L would have been CRUSHED if it was thrown just for me.

  • Our showers will be for both of us and that's probably the case for them.  But,  every couple is different of course.  You could assume both will be there and just ask a clarifying question like, "any particular shower  games you both like?"....that would cause them to clarify, if for them, only one wants to attends.

  • I'm not pregnant yet and so I haven't had a baby shower, but I do know some non-carrying moms are (rightly) sensitive about whether they are perceived as the child's "real" mother.  Excluding the non-carrying mom from the baby shower might make her feel like you don't think she's the baby's mom too, so I would be careful about that.

    If you think the non-carrying mom might not *want* to go (my wife hates that girly stuff), it's fine to give her the option, but just make sure she knows she is welcome and deserves to be there if she wants to be.

  • Ours is in January, and we will both be going.  In addition, it's going to be a both gender party.  Don't really understand having it be for women only--whoever wants to go should go.  Whether it's two men, two women, a woman and man, etc.

  • I will be planning our shower and we will both be there. If someone else would of planned it for just my partner i would be really crushed.
