[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my own baby shower? Yes I would. Way to bury the lede.[/quote]

Did I? I said in the very first sentence it’s for me. I didn’t write “your baby shower”in the title because I thought that would imply this was my main/only shower, when my main shower is being thrown here, this one is just extra.

Anyway I’m leaning towards no, if they can’t be bothered to drive to mine here, I don’t really see why I should have to take the hit and drive while pregnant. [/quote]

A friend shower is different — the emphasis will be on a different part of your life. It won’t be comfortable for the in-laws in the same way or about their family and relationship with you. I think you should go. I think to say no is starting things off on a hurtful footing. Plus, you don’t know which is your “main” shower. In the years to come you may remember this one more fondly as the relatives age and pass away, while some of the friends who come to your shower may not be in your life in ten years. [/quote]
