[quote=Anonymous]I offered to host a baby shower for a friend I met a couple years ago who has been incredibly kind to me. It's not her first kid, but her first shower, as she is a recent immigrant from a country where showers are not done. She was very excited when I offered to host at my home and we've agreed on a date.

I asked her for a guest list, and it turns out she wants to invite not just her 10-12 friends, as I assumed, but also their children, including boys, which brings the guest list to 30+.

I've never been to a baby shower with boys, and if there were female children, it would just be a couple of well-behaved older girls. I was thinking to get catering + cake, the ladies would chat, do a couple shower games and open presents. All these kids won't fit in my house, and, even if I were to splurge on some kind of party room somewhere, I don't know how to entertain them without turning this into like a kids' birthday party.

I think she recognized my shock when she shared this huge guest list and she was like "Oh, if you're not comfortable, let's do it at my house". Her house is half the size of mine, and I don't even know how I could host an event at someone else's place.

Anyway, I regret having offered, I really don't want to lose this friendship because I care about her a lot, and I have no idea what to do. Help please?[/quote]
