Baby Shower Help

in July 2015 Moms
I am 14 weeks and my MIL started talking about having a baby shower for me, which is fine with me. She asked me for a guest list and then she said  that my FSIL mother ( who I don't really know and have only met once maybe twice) wants to come / be invited to my shower Keep in mind this is NOT my Husband Sister it's my husbands future wifes mother ... I said I would prefer not as I don't know her. I guess I'm just wanted to know if anyone else has had a request like this and what did you do. I don't want to be rude but this is kind of my day, and want it fill with love from our friends and family...

FYI the wedding is also 3 day after my due date, and they don't care if i'm there our not .. I just think this is strange request. please help

    I wouldn't stress over it. Just tell her you rather not invite her. Do you think she will be upset about it? It's rude for someone to expect or invite themself. When people do that with me I usually cut them from the list. I guess I'm kinda mean that way.

    If you don't get along with the lady then tell your MIL not to invite her, but if it's just that you don't know her well...I think that's a different story. She asked to be invited so she obviously likes you and wants to shower your baby with gifts, she is going to be distant family, I don't think it's worth creating problems with your SIL. Did they plan their wedding so close to your EDD after you announced your pregnancy? If not I don't think it's that they don't care if you come but rather understand why you can't make it. I don't think the request is strange...old ladies love baby showers...and she seems like she is trying to become part of your family. But again it's your shower and if you don't want her there then tell your MIL to say is very small get together due to the cost.

    I don't see why it would hurt to have her there. Unless she's a terrible person or has Ill will towards you I guess I don't see why its such a big deal.

    It sounds like she likes you, there is nothing wrong with allowing one more supportive person at your shower. Just food for thought. If you think it's weird, let it be known you prefer for her not to come.

    @3timemom‌ Thanks! My brain was not computing that! I personally think the more the merrier-- it's not like you don't like her, you just don't know her... and what better way to get to know someone than over awkward party games like pin the diaper on the baby. Plus, presents!

    @gadawgmom‌ yeah, I totally thought there was some sort of sister-wives situation going on. Let's blame our baby brains!
