@rainafire77 That sucks! Have you told her yet that the name was wrong? Is there anyway she can solve both the name and RSVP problems by starting a Facebook event and people can RSVP there? Then she can also clarify the name?

Yeah I told her the name was wrong and she brushed it off with "oh well". She's nice and I like her but honestly, if I'd had the choice, she is NOT the one I'd have asked to plan my shower. She's very flaky and if it weren't for our two other friends prodding her, she probably wouldn't have sent the invitations at all. There's one friend that I wish had taken over. She was my bridesmaid and is seriously the most organized and reliable friend in our group. I'm going to text her and see if she can subtly or firmly prod the other into getting stuff sorted out for next weekend. She's far more tactful and can do things in such a way that it's like helping and not taking over.

@rainafire77 Fingers crossed that your other friend can step in and save the day!
I'm starting to get a bit worried about my shower. My sister is throwing it and she means well, but she's not the event planning-kind of person. She's already told me there are about 30 people coming and she doesn't know how they'll all fit in her house. I mentioned renting a space in a community centre or church, but my BFF says the venue hasn't changed yet. Sigh... Sister talked about maybe making it a come-and-go, but when I asked about how that would impact games or opening of gifts, she had no response. I'm trying not to stress about it though. Whatever happens, happens.

that sucks as well. What is a come and go? I've never heard of it, is it like a sip n see but without the baby?

Rather than everyone come for the full time of the party (say from 1 to 4 pm), people would just come and visit and leave when they wish. She's hoping this would mean less butts to have to find chairs for, but as she's having the shower before the baby comes, it doesn't really make much sense to me. I think if the baby was here and people could pop in, visit and leave, that would be fine. I think even with a come-and-go, she still won't have the room. Even if half the people showed up at the same time, there wouldn't be enough chairs.
We did that for our wedding shower @ldawngirl781. Everyone calls it open house down here. But I didn't open the presents or play games at that shower. Not sure how that will go when you are doing those things. Hopefully both you and @rainafire77 will be pleasantly surprised and everything will go smoothly.
