Help! Need your opinions please

Hey ladies

So my SIL is having her baby shower a month after mine. They just showed me the sample invites and they are basically the exact same as mine except a different colour. We have the same last name and are registering at the same place. They are hoping to send them out before my shower so ppl can RSVP. My worry is that the guest list is basically the same and ppl will get confused (our first names are kinda close too and start with the same letter). DH could not believe that they are doing that and is planning on telling his mom that they should choose other invites...

My question is...should he say anything? I mean I get it bc they are the same invite and same ppl being invited ppl can mix it up etc

Anyways your thoughts ladies?

    I wouldn't be worried. Unless a guest can't read, they should be able to tell the difference. Plus they're a different color, right?

    I can see why you'd think that, I'd feel the same. But as PP said, people should be able to figure it out.

    I wouldn't be to worried if some one knows you well enough to come to your shower they will be able to put the right name in the registry search and show up at your shower on the right day.

    Did you tell her you both have the same invitation? Since yours are going out first, I think she might be inclined to choose something different. I know I wouldn't want to send out the same invite as another family member.

    That's what I was thinking but I think DH is more upset that they could have been more original and choose differently considering they went to a place that makes invites and you can pick and choose what you like. My Bestie was the one who choose the whole lay out, and scheme and wording for the invite (love that girl she did great!) so I think he just thinks like common let's change it up ppl

    @bayberry12 I didn't have to tell her considering she was given the invite personally at a family event a few weeks ago so my SIL knows what it looks like and that they are mailed out already

    If you don't know people well enough for them to be able to distinguish you from your SIL, they're not close enough to be coming to your shower.
    This. And if they know you better than they know her anyway, why are you so worried about it?

    Eh, I think this is not worth stressing over. I would let it go. Well.... unless your guests can't read. Then you're in big, big trouble.

    I just think it's weird that they would go and pick the same one after you already picked them out for yours. I don't think it's going to cause an issue, but I do see why you're concerned.

    To me, i think you have plenty of other things to worry about.  I don't blame you though, i'd be pissed too.

    Not very sensitive people, copying your shower invites, though...

    In the end, i would ask DH to keep your frustration to himself- why piss off the people doing something nice for you?

    I'd let it go. If your important enough to the people who are coming, then they will make sure they are attending the right one. IMHO.
