[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for all the responses. I am very grateful to my mom and SIL for throwing this shower for me. I'm uncomfortable demanding they invite the in laws when apparently they don't want to. I feel like my place is to show up, open presents, and thank everyone profusely. No?

and yes, this is everyone's first grandchild and nephew on both sides.

I get along great with the in laws, no issue there. It's been suggested I owe DH an apology but I don't feel like I did anything wrong, except get caught between families. Thx again.[/quote]

The thing you did wrong is to not ask your mom and SIL if there would be a problem with sending an invite to your MIL and SIL.  No one said anything about 'demanding' they be invited, but why would you think they 'don't want to' invite your husband's closest relatives?  It is generally accepted that the grandmother of the baby is invited - regardless of whether she is your mom or your husband's.  [/quote]

I'll go a step further and say that it's unusual and rude (unless they don't know) that your mom and SIL didn't think your MIL should be invited. [/quote]
