Whoops - minor invite snafu!

in Baby Showers

When I made my original invite address list to forward to my best friend who is hosting my shower, I just listed the main person invited.  I meant to go back and add in their female children, but completely forgot and invites went out yesterday.

There is a good portion of the invite list that has small children that would be welcome to come.  Do I send a quick FYI message to these people letting them know?  I just don't want people to think they can't come if they can't find a sitter, etc.

Edit: The invites are RSVP "regrets only", so it's not like she could just mention it to the people who RSVP....

    That doesn't sound like too big of a deal. I think it would be best if the hostess just called each person and let them know their kids are welcome

    I think that it would be weird if YOU emailed everyone since you're not hosting. But, I don't see anything wrong with your hostess doing it.

    Aren't showers for your closest friends/family? Why did you invite people who's numbers you don't have?

    I would have your best friend, mom, or mother in law reach out to those invited and tell them that they can include their small children. I'm sure between the there of them, they will be able to reach out to everyone.

    It seems strange to me you would invite people whose phone numbers you don't have...but that's beside the point.

    How far out is the shower? If invites just went out, I would think it's not for a little bit. There should be plenty of time for your hostess to sent out a follow-up note to indicate that female children are invited as well- but make sure to list the child(ren)'s name(s) on each follow-up letter so there is no confusion.

    I don't have some of my cousin's home phone numbers any more. They both moved within the last few months and I haven't gotten updated adresses from either of them.  But, if I needed their numbers I could call my aunt or my grandmother for it.

    I would give the hostess the list of phone numbers and ask her to call the people affected. If you don't have any make the needed phone calls to get them. Or use the white pages they are on the internet.
