[quote=Anonymous]My DH has a close colleague, someone he speaks with multiple times daily, in both a professional and friendly basis. They also occasionally golf or get together at a sports bar to catch a game with other colleagues. DH and I have gone to dinner with him and his wife once, we attended a housewarming party at their new place, and chatted with them at two separate events other colleagues were hosting. I don’t really know her/them on a close, personal level. So much so that when I received the invite to her baby shower, I had to remember who “Mary Smith” was.

How should I tactfully decline? Am I overthinking this? The RSVP is a public site accessed through QR code and others have already declined, leaving cutesy messages with solid sounding excuses. My excuse is that I just don’t want to go. I don’t really know her and definitely don’t know her friends. I have no problem sending DH with a really nice gift. So, what am I writing on this page that everyone will see? Help![/quote]
