  I have just about gotten to the point of cancelling my shower.  It is a HUGE mess, just some of the drama.......I thought my two aunts and sister was giving me the shower, come to find out my two aunts  have not spoken in over a year, and I had no clue, so I get a call from one aunt asking me about the shower and I am like well have you not talked to your sister??  Then my sister has bailed out, so where I thought I had 3 people giving me a shower now it is down to one, and she is having me be super involved as well.  I have went and looked at the place to hold the shower, working on my invitations, gotta pick out the cake and decide on the food.  I seriously don't care what we have to eat.

  Then to add gravy on top of above, my sister and my mom have not spoken to each other in about 7 years, well of course my mom is coming to the shower and I have invited her side of the family (this was pre-approved and okay by my aunt) which is only a few.  Then my dads wife will be there as well, she is not well  liked by anyone in my dads family, so her and my mom are going to sit at the same table.  Yeah, this should be fun.  My secretary (whom I am close with) said she is going to sit back with a video camera and just tape it all for my dad to watch!

  So I will trade you.....you can come to my crazy family shower and try to enjoy yourself all the while making sure no one throws punches!!!    I can only imagine how it will be when I give birth, have her baptistmal, 1st birthday party, and the holidays!!!  Just shoot me now!

  I'm the complete opposite. I'm not involved at all except for the guest list & my registry and it's stressing me out! I'm such a control freak that not knowing anything about it is killing me!

  I totally feel ya, I sometimes stalk my friend's baby shower board on pinterest just to see what little ideas she's finding!

  I'm stressed because I don't have anything to do about my showers.

  My MIL is throwing me one at the end of March. I'm due on the 3rd.

  My mother is trying to plan one, but bless her soul, she's recovering from open heart surgery. My friends have offered to take over and throw it, but she wants to do it. I'm terrified it's too much on her. I wish she would let them do it so she wouldn't have to stress about it.

  I pretty much planned my shower that my sister hosted w/DS...but I am an event planner and it was no stress for me to help pick/design invitations, choose centerpieces, favors, menu, games....we did it as a team and it was fun.  This time my sister and BIL (his idea) are hosting a co-ed shower for us and other than invitations that I saw some simple ones on vistaprint.com I will let them handle the rest unless they need input, ideas.  He is a chef so I know food will be handled and awesome....I don't feel we need decorations or games this time.  Just a simple get together to celebrate the baby...but whatever they want I am game!
