Baby shower

in June 2015 Moms
I am in a quandary. I have two cousins and four friends who all want to give me a baby shower. It's our first child, so I am touched and grateful, but I don't want to invite people to multiple showers. I am afraid that would be rude. Is it possible to please all these people and not double invite people? I need advice as they are all asking for shower dates.

    My BFF is insistent on hosting, so I told her to coordinate with the few other ppl I know will want to help. That way everyone can be included in the fun planning!

    Ask the one you are closest to to send an email to the others so they can coordinate.

    This. 4 of my friends all hosted my first baby shower together for DD. This way they can share the cost and it's not too much planning for one person.

    I had so much fun at my baby shower. It's so special :)
    This is my second so I won't be having one as that's considered faux pas...

    Maybe do two showers. One with friends and one for family. Have your friends cohost one and have your cousins cohost the other. I've had a number of friends do this lately and I wasn't insulted at all knowing I was invited to the friends shower and not to the family shower. Also a friends shower without extended potentially annoying family can be more fun!!!!

    I think PPs have given great advice. Personally, I had 2 showers and it was just fine. One was primarily for my husband's side of the family and one was for my side of the family. If we would have done both sides at once it would have been way too many people and overwhelming. Have them talk and work out a plan.

    I agree about co hosting. One for friends one for family. Make and give your hosts their respective guest lists.

    I agree! I love it when people have multiple showers so we actually have time to talk with them. I think a family one and a friends one makes a lot of sense. That way you won't be quite so overwhelmed at your showers.

    If they don't ALL want to coordinate (as 6 is a lot to 'host' one shower) you could have 2 and have smaller groups coordinate. Then just have separate guest lists too. Like one for friends and one for family, or one for each side.
