Baby Shower!

Just a question to answer my own curiosity - how many people are you inviting to your baby shower? :)

Re: Baby Shower!

  • 50 people & we're expecting 35 to come.  All women.  It's next week -- I'm so excited !!!!!
  • Loading the player...
  • I have about 75 attending. I'm looking forward to the gifts and food lol
  • My list has about 50 people
  • About 50 people for the first shower, and 25 people for the second.

  • 50 to 60 for both. We both have huge families.
  • Probably around 50.
  • No idea lol. My family lives about 10 hours away so they are planning everything and I'm driving up in 5 weeks. I'm guessing about 30 people. No idea if my husband's family will have one for us...but I'm highly doubting it.
  • We had about 35 at our baby shower :)
  • I'm having three showers (family, sorority sisters/college friends, and coworkers) and I'm expecting at least 30-40 at all of them. I'm so excited! :D
  • We're having one big shower & we invited 125 people not even including the word of mouth invites; it's gonna be nuts !! :D but I seriously can not wait !!!
  • My family and friends shower will have around 30, his family 24, my work could be 30-50 and his work has 15-20. We are going to need all we can get! FTM with a boy and girl on the way!

  • There were 47 people on my invite list. I don't expect more than 30 to actually attend. 10 of them are family in western Canada, and I'm living in NY state now. Plus my shower is on memorial day weekend, so I imagine some of the more local invitees may have other plans.

  • I currently live about 10 hours away from my family and will be having 2 baby showers. I'm having one up here next month with work (so there will be about 30 people) then another one down south with his and my family (which will be 30+).

    Holy crap! No one showed up with our first and I'm sure this one won't even have one even though it's a different gender. You are all loved!!!!
  • We are doing one big one with friends and family. (Coed) We invited about 80 people but I am thinking about 40-50 will show. Then I am having one from work that will be just women and probably like 8-10 people.
  • Holy crap! I can't believe how many people you all have coming. Lol my bfs family is haveing one but there will be maybe 10 people if that and my sister is throwing one but we are expecting 20-25 people tops.

    However some lady's at my work are planing on throwing a double shower for me and another girl due about the same time. Both our SO's also work here so I suppose there will be a lot of people for that.
  • I think 50 is a lot also, I'm only having 25 people.
  • Love this post! 80 invitations are being sent out, for about 90 people. That does not include co-workers who are invited as a group. We are expecting about half that to show up, as we have lots of out of town family members. Crossing my fingers for a big, fun party!

  • Inviting 63 people...thinking about 50 will show up. Hoping for less since it will all take place in my living room :)
  • Apparently I'm having 5 showers?!?! I feel very fortunate that all these people have offered to host showers, (each with different guests) and between 15-20 women invited to each, (plus their children if they choose to bring them).  That seems to be a manageable size to have inside most homes.

    Who is doing a shower(s) before vs. after the baby is born? Mine so far seem to be a mix.

    I have about 90 on my list and I believe at least 70 will come.
  • I have about 50 on our invite list but I think it will turn out to be 35 or so. Several aunts live out of state and are getting an invite but I would be shocked if they actually came. My mom said she is going to put it in the church bulletin too so I suppose a few people may come from that. I'll probably have a small work shower too so that's about 15.

    We have about 60 invited to one from family and 30 for the other one from my friends. My hubby's friend is also throwing him a "pamper party" which will probably be about 10-15 guys.
  • I'm having two showers each with about 65 ladies on the guest list. I am hoping we have about 50 yes RSVPs for each!
  • I struggled to cut my list down to 92. My hubby and I have a ton of mutual friends and previous coworkers. Hoping 65-75 come
  • So far my husband has more of his friends coming than mine. Which worries me, they aren't baby people. I feel like they're just going to bring a case of beer.
  • I have about 150 people going. With a mixture of my family and my boyfriends family, plus friends. Reason it's so many people is because SO passed away and everyone is very excited about the baby :)

    When we were expecting DD (we were "team green" with her) DH's work decided to throw me a shower, and about 75% of his coworkers were single men. We got some of the funniest gifts. Size 5 diapers, a remote-controlled helicopter, etc.

  • i dont really know, my mom and sister are planning it for me..
    hopefully not to many people, i dont like being the center of attention. 
  • We invited 16 people. :) I hate attention and I feel like only the people who matter the most should really be there, so that's the whole list. Knowing that, we've basically bought everything LO needs already because we know we won't be getting much from such a small crowd.
