Baby shower?

Alibigirl

My son and his wife are expecting in January and live 8 hours away. I want to do an absentee baby shower then take the gifts to them at the shower they will have in their hometown in a couple months. How should my invitations be worded to not sound tacky. They are unable to come home to do a shower due to not being able to get time off. I want to do something nice for them.

Baby showers?

Mommy Ong

My bestfriend is throwing a babyshower for me. I know she doesn't make a ton of money so is okay to offer to help pay for things?

When making the invite list- how do you decide who should be invted? We have a lot of friends who we barely see now, but we'd still be invited to their wedding.
My husbands friend is planning a guys shower (golfing and bbq- no presents). But a lot of them have wifes that I know but aren't get together type of friends. Should they be invited?

Answer
I would not offer to help to pay. It may embarass her, seriously. Let her do what she can do as this is her gift to you and your baby!! You might want to help her brainstorm ways of throwing a great shower that isn't over-the-top expense-wise! (Afterall it isn't about how much money you put it, its about the effort. The best parties aren't ones with the fanciest cake or food....they are the ones with the best mix of people!)

Invite anyone you want there....anyone that has a stake in this baby. That would include your husband's friends wives if you want them there. If they have other plans they will decline on the RSVP (and definately enforce a RSVP if your hostess is on a budget because it would be a shame if she over-prepared for the shower and spent a lot of time and money on food that wasn't eaten!)

Hope that helped!
