    Not really your choice. Let your hostess take care of planning.

    ^^^^^^this. Agreed.

  • You could suggest your place so that you won't have to take everything back home with you and you can just relax at your own home the day of. My SIL had to make 3 trips back to her shower place just to haul all her gifts home. It was annoying.

  • I would tell her you would prefer it at your house so you can easily put all the gifts in the baby room without having to load and unload plus travel. My sister and MIL asked what I wanted for both of my showers which was nice. If not, just let mom do it and show up with a smile. You won't pay much attention to the place when all your friends and family are there.
  • @cls78 & @mandamoochie‌ I didn't ask who's choice it was. I asked for advice. Please don't respond if you don't have a nice response.

  • Is there a reason you want it at your house? You said you don't want it at your mom's because it won't accommodate 30-40 guests, but then you said your house will barely accommodate 30 guests.

  • I'd let your mom host at her house. I would think if you suggest otherwise it'll hurt her feelings. She is probably really excited about this, i'd just try to relax and not worry about it, it'll work out just fine.

  • @diamond7986 I'm not being mean.. it's just obvious this means a lot to your mom to be host and it's what she WANTS to do... I think it's not that big of a deal, she's an adult and can figure out what her house can and cannot hold and let her do what she wants to do: shower you with love, attention and gifts at her house. I think it'll be ok.

    You have enough to plan and stress about without trying to adjust your own shower and worry about the repercussions of hurt feelings.

  • It's not up to you where you have your shower. Your host can ask if you have a preference, but unless she asks, no need to offer.  You don't want it at your mom's house you can either politely smile and be gracious and accept the offer as is, or politely decline.  

    You can't dictate how people respond on a public forum. If you don't want opinions on certain things, keep it off the internet.
  • Holy shit. No one was even rude. All the responses were polite and respectful. This stuff drives me BSC. X(

  • Who was being rude? All I see are honest opinions... I thought this was gonna be an opportunity to bring out the popcorn!

  • I didnt read anything that was even close to rude. Just because you dont like the replies you are getting does not make it a rude comment. I agree with pp and that it really isnt up to you. It is up to the host.
  • Who was rude?  I expected drama and saw simple answers- not even snarky ones!

  • @irishcurls everything was so tame i didnt think a qfp would be needed! It's not like she was being flamed....? Side note: I feel like the f15ers care more about her mom's feelings than she does. Lol
    I STILL NEEDED TO KNOW! Though I did catch the gist of it, since you know, everyone was normal and polite in their responses.

    My mom is hosting my baby shower and is passively pushing to have the shower at her house. It is very generous of her, though I feel like her house and backyard is too small for 30-40 women. I really want to have her 'host' but the location to be at my house. I feel like she is going to get her feelings hurt if I tell her that because I've tried to approach the subject and all she says is not everyone I invite will come. I understand that it still won't be enough room for even 30 people. How do I tell her I want it at my house in a creative way without hurting her feelings?
