Shower invites lost in mail - what to do?

in Baby Showers

So my shower is this weekend and a couple of friends asked me yesterday when my shower was (this is the only shower I'm having in the area).  They are on the invite list, but somehow their invite never got to them.  My sisters are throwing the shower, but they don't know all of my friends.

What should/can I do?  My sisters don't have my friends on Facebook or most of their phone numbers - their only contact info they have is their mailing address.

    I would let your sisters know and pass on the contact information to them. Your sisters could also try to message them via facebook as well.

    If I were you, I'd give my sisters/hosts ALL the needed info to contact those friends and let them personally call, text, FB, whatever to verbally invite them w/all the details for your baby shower. As hosts, this is their responsibility, not yoursSmile!

    I always side-eye when there is more than one piece of mail lost.  It's one thing for one letter to not make its way, but when a handful (but not all) don't make their way, I wonder if they even got sent.  

    What did you say to your friends when they brought it up?  We're talking about a shower 4 days away.  If you want them there, I'd tell them about it (date and time) and let them know you'll make sure the hostess contacts them with more details (address, etc).

    He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be.  He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

    Hopefully you told them when you shower is and that they WERE invited!  When was the RSVP?  Your sister should have contacted them if she had not heard from them.  Obviously she needs their phone numbers to do this.  It seems really odd to me that there were so many that didn't get invites.  Did you sister miss putting stamps on some of them?

    I made sure to give the details of the shower to anyone that asked me (time, date, location and where I'm registered, but only if they specifically asked).  There was not date to RSVP by and supposedly they put my address for the return address. I haven't gotten any in the mail that were returned. 
    My SIL (who did the invites) complained that I kept changing the list and adding more people to it so she had to go to the store three times.  Um...I gave her the first list which had everyone listed but I was still missing one address, which I got to her within a week.  The only person I added later was my distant cousin.  I'm wondering if she selectively picked people not to send invites to. Huh?
