Baby Shower Date

mZito · September 2013

So 2 of my friends asked if they could throw me a baby shower. I said yes if they wanted to I'd appreciate it. Well we are trying to figure out a wknd for it and she sent me a text today asking about Nov. 3 which is a Sunday. This is a family & friend shower and with my mom living 4 hrs away I don't think she'd be able to make it with it being on Sunday since she has to be at work Monday. My friends have boys who will have a baseball game Saturday that's why they suggested Sunday. Now my mom is having a shower for us in my hometown but wanted to come for the shower up here too. Not only that but a couple of DH's aunts are out of town and they wouldn't be able to make it either.
My question is, would it be rude or would I be out of place to tell my friend I'd really prefer for it to be on Saturday? I don't want to seem unappreciative.

As your mom is having a shower for you in your hometown, I don't really think it's imperative that this shower be scheduled around HER schedule. I think the schedule of your hosts actually takes priority here.

And no matter the event- there will always be people who can't make it. That's a part of life.

Agree with PP about out of town guests coming a day early. Perhaps you could suggest something early in the day on Sunday like a brunch to give the guest time to get home at a decent hour after the shower?

I agree, if she did it in the morning, your mom would have plenty of time to drive home on Sunday. If she does it on a Saturday, your mom might have to come down on Friday night, anyway. Talk to your mom about it, and ask your friend if you could do it earlier on Sunday.
