Hello Ladies,
Lurker here with a question...
I am carrying twins and my shower is scheduled for March 2 based on the advice from the MoMs on the multiples board that an early shower is a good thing when carrying multiples. So, I am putting together the guest list for the hosts and am wondering what to do regarding a certain group of women that I am not particularly close with, but whose husbands are all like brothers to me.
We aren't that close these days b/c most of us have moved away and seperated, but I grew up with these guys and invited them to my wedding/were invited to theirs (as a guest of the groom). However, as for their wives, I can only say that I talk to only two of them and it is still a bit strained and none of them invited me to their baby/bridal showers.
I am thinking of inviting the two that I am more friendly with and leaving the others off the list, although I would love it if all of their husbands came (although I am not sure if the hosts are planning a co-ed shower or not). But, I don't want to be rude by invited some and not all.
What should I do?
TIA
ETA: the shower is going to be in my hometown where most of them live and they are close with one another...
Re: Shower Guest List Question
If it's not a co-ed shower, I wouldn't invite them. Especially as you werent invited to theirs. Go w/ the status quo.
For the 2 you kind of talk to - were you invited to theirs? If not, then I wouldn't invite them to mine either. Again, just go w/ what's the norm for this group.

I agree as well.
You might want to ask the host(es) how many guests they can accomodate and also if this will/can be a co-ed shower. If they are OK with co-ed and the numbers add up OK then invite them as a couple.
