[quote=Anonymous]I declined 3 offers for similar reasons and I had just finished being the center of attention at my wedding 15 months before my expected due date. I just said that I really appreciated the offer, am really just looking to these friends for advice, and also that several of my closest friends are having fertility challenges at the moment and I didn't want to have a party to celebrate while they were struggling. I also said I want to throw a fun first birthday party when the baby is bigger and folks and see him! I am also type A and just wanted to go out and buy what I needed to be ready pretty early. Several of these friends also gave us hand-me downs and I said that was gracious enough! With my SIL and MIL, I declined and said I would rather spend a fun day together before the baby is born.
