gift for baby from uncle image
qteapie210
Here is my situation: I am 25 weeks pregnant and live aprox 4 hours away from my immediate family (parents, aunts/uncles, ect...) and aprox 3 and 1/2 hours from my husband's family. My sister in law and brother live 15 minutes away and around x-mas time she aked if she could throw me a baby shower. What made her offer ohhh so appealing is that we wouldn't have to travel a long distance to have a shower AND wouldn't have to worry about how to get our new baby gifts back home (4 hours away).
So my question is: Not many relatives from either side of the families are willing to travel in March to my shower and that is fine, but I have about 25 work friends that I want @ the shower. How many is too many work friends becasue I don't want it to seem we're being greedy by inviting more people for more gifts when that isn't the truth at all. I just know when we got married we had 3 bridal showers and we had to travel all over the state to attend them. I just didn't want to do that again.
The shower is being held @ a resturant so space isn't the issue, my sis-in-law has a very tiny apt and she suggested having it somewhere other then her home.
Answer
I would only invite the work friends you have a relationship with other than work. Otherwise, I think it looks like you are scamming presents! How many of these people will come and see the baby after you have it? And when you are not at work which ones will you still have contact with? These are the ones that I would invite.
I knew a girl who invited everyone from work and had a gift list and all presents were over about $30-00,it was so obvious she wanted gifts - the people that thought that simply said they were busy and didn't go.
Give something in return. If people are expected to bring a gift, make sure you put some money over the bar or provide some food or something. I went to one baby shower where there was about 50 people. We weren't offered anything to drink (had to get our own) and it was at lunchtime and there was enough dip to feed about 5 people. I was pregnant at the time and was about eat the leg off a chair. I thought that was rude. It's no different to a birthday party, you invite people to celebrate with you, they buy a gift for you and you provide food and refreshments.

What is an extremely weird gift to get my uncle?
Monn
Since I was little, I have been getting my uncle really weird things, like a toilet golf course, and a makeup kit, and batteries. Just weird random stuff. But I am out of ideas! I was thinking a really ugly dress, but I don't know his sizes, and if I were to do that, I would want it to fit. So any ideas?
