[quote=Anonymous]Just tell your friends who want to host that you are touched by how thoughtful they are to offer but that you really just don't feel up to having a baby shower. Leave it at that. If they push you on it, let them know it would be nice to have a small gathering with just your very closest friends (the 5 women you mentioned) to celebrate the baby's impending arrival but that you don't want to have a shower...just a more casual gathering w/ those 5 women like a nice meal out or a spa day or whatever your group would enjoy. I know it can be difficult to say no to a generous and kind offer from friends and I have friends like that, including one of my bridesmaids who insisted on giving me a bridal shower that I really didn't want, but I think you just have to be very clear about what you want/don't want (of course while still being gracious and thanking them for the offer) and be firm about your choice.[/quote]
