Baby Shower - Did you know?

I am curious if anyone knew when their baby shower was going to be. My MIL is insisting that I should know to help them plan (guest lists, date, etc.) - but I REALLY don't want to know. I just feel like I want it to be as much of a surprise as possible even though I may find out tid-bits here and there. Help me keep her quiet!

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I knew about it. I wasn't suppose to have one due to MIL drama and cultural beliefs, but my SIL threw one for me about 3-4 weeks before my due date. I knew the date, where it was going to be, who was invited, but I didn't know any other details.

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I know about my NY one since it is this Saturday and I have to fly in for it.

My Saint Louis one I *think* is at the end of the month but that one is a surprise.

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I know mine is on 10/22 and I know where!

I feel better knowing because at least I'll make sure my makeup looks good!

No, I was completely surprised. I didn't want it to be a surprise but no one listened to me. I wanted to know when it was so I could make sure I looked and felt comfortable. I hate the way I look in all the pictures from my shower.

You can always provide them with a guest list and help them with any other details. They can definitely keep the place, and time a surprise for you. And you can always tell them how you envision it as well.

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

Part of me wanted to know and another part wanted it to be a surprise.

BUT I know everything! I needed to help my mom find a place since I don't live in LI (and she does) and I wanted my best friend who lives in CA to be able to fly in, etc.

My best friend is actually doing the invites and she's going to send me oneChat Icon

I know about mine for the same reason. I'm also helping to plan it, which I like. I helped pick out the invites and favors. It was fun. Chat Icon

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

After my bridal shower drama (it was a surprise but it was ruined) I wanted to know about my baby shower. I am helping my mom plan it and it is at my house.

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I wanted to know about it. I was sooo surprised for my bridal shower, that was enough for me! I wanted to be prepared, it took me a while to calm down from being so surpised at the bridal shower! Chat Icon I think your MIL should go by what YOU want, since you want to be surprised, they should try to surprise you!

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I'd have to select the invisible "other" option. I didn't have one Chat Icon

ETA: If I HAD had one, I would've liked to know.

Re: Baby Shower - Did you know?

I wanted to know. I'm a planner and need to know when the shower is going to be and where. In fact, I had to push my mom about the date b/c she wanted to do it way too late.
The rest I'm leaving up to my mom and sis.

I'm SO happy I know this time (as opposed to my bridal shower) I am really looking forward to it!
