Baby shower vent!!! Baby shower vent!!!?

i would feel the same way if nobody offered to throw me a baby shower. try not to stress it. being pregnant with twins is stressful enough. you could use your friend as a hostess but ask your mother to help plan

Sometimes you just have to take what is offered and be thankful its something as opposed to nothing. With my first pregnancy I was thrown 3 baby showers but 2 of the 3 were over an hour away and none of my friends were invited, only distant relatives I barely knew and friends of the hostess. The 3rd was thrown in my town but I didnt even know hardly anyone there. But instead of complaining i just took it because in the long run its still a nice gesture and you still benifit from it...any little bit helps.

Hun, if your mom is offering to throw you a baby shower, ask her kindly if you could have it at your house. Tell her if she'd like to invite people she knows, then to bring them down to your house with her, that way you both will be satisfied. I'm really sorry you're doing this alone, but don't stress too much. Compromise with your mother and see what she could do for you, since you probably shouldnt be driving 90 miles while pregnant.

Good luck hun and i hope you have a turn out for the best!

Hope i could help. =)

I would just throw it yourself and put on the invites that it is potluck. Or have a picnic or something and tell everyone to bring a plate of food. Or you could have it at a restaurant or cafe or something and everyone pays for themselves (one of my friends did this). Or tell your mother you are happy for her to plan it but you want to location at your house. Good luck and dont worry I know lots of people that arranged their own showers. You do not have to spent lots of money, you are having twins! people understand you want to save, nothing wrong with that.

well i'm having my first baby too but its alittle bit different, his family and my family are FIGHTING about who will throw it..

then it was going to be 2 different ones, and because of the fight neither family wants to go to each others shower..its a mess :/ and im only a few weeks along they are so stressful...

im venting with u lol

Sorry girl, i hope it all works out for u

o im sorry i would throw one for you but i dont know u

well you could ask around or just plan it with one of your friends it could be fun

but you need the shower cause you need those gifts

I would have just taken my mother's offer because you can probably end up sneaking people in anyways. You don't have to do anything major you could just have a get together at your house.

Well, you never know. Baby showers are one of those things that some people like to keep a surprise! :P
