I don’t blame you for being annoyed. It has nothing to do with being hormonal and pregnant either. You are supposed to provide a guest list. As you know already, there are people that you might want to invite that those 3 wouldn’t have a clue about. I would suggest that you let one of them know that you have several people you want to be sure are on the guest list.

I guess all you can do is take a calm breath and just ignore it entirely until that date.

Sweetheart, your are blessed to have a friend and family who care enough to plan something special for you, so please let these feelings go…. and no, it wouldn’t irritate me at all. They are simply doing it in the traditional way, and that’s a nice thing. If you have any concerns that someone might accidentally not be invited, then just take your friend aside and nicely mention it to her. Other than that, let them handle everything else and simply be grateful. Once that baby arrives you’re going to have your hands full, so enjoy letting someone else do things for you right now, ok? Enjoy the shower and blessings to your little one.

I do understand your point about the guest list. The least that they can do is accept some of the add’l friends/people you would like to have present at the shower.

My sister is throwing mine and I will leave it up to her however, I will give her the general people of who I want there and who I dont. She understands that and has no problem.

Maybe you can a slip a list of some add’l people and your sis in law can handle it for you since she understands.

Good Luck!

It would irritate me a lot.

At least you are invited. My MIL is having a baby shower for me out of state with her daughters and sending me the gifts and a recording of the party later.

Traditionally someone else handles the whole thing and it is usually a surprise. While I do agree witht them that you should stop asking questions and just let them handle it, I think you should at least be able to provide a guest list. Since it’s your husbands family I would speak with your husband. Give him a copy of your guest list and ask him to step in on your behalf and let them know there are people on your list you think are being left out that you would really like to be there. Hopefully they will listen to reason, unfortunately they may not. As for those guests being invited that you may have not chosen to invite, I wouldn’t worry about it. If they don’t want to come they won’t.

Try to relax and enjoy! Congrats on your pregnancy!

Seriously i wish i had somebody doing this for me!! I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and i have to make my own baby shower! My parents are helping me out with the food but the rest has to come out of our pockets!! but that only thing that i don’t understand is why are they giving you attitude when you ask about your baby shower!! if i were you i would just relax and let them do whatever they nned to do! be happy that you are not going to be worrying about planning your shower!! lol

I think I would give my opinions about what I would like and pray that someone was listening. I know my friends would want me to be happy so they would be sure what I was asking for was some how incorporated in to the plans.

Well being irritated is understandable, but you are kind of overracting. Try to remember that they are just trying to do something very nice and special for you and just enjoy that planning it is not your responsibility!! Enjoy your shower

being preggo makes you irritated, its ok, seriously let them do al lthe work, you’ll be thankful for it, worry about your blossoming little one, thats’ what really matters.

Why would you be irritated that people are going out of their way to throw you a shower where you will receive gifts?? Listen to yourself! Boo hoo.

Your attitude is completely wrong. Just appreciate the fact that you are lucky enough to be having a shower and let it go.
