I have been, its not fun. But it is an ice breaker, then you see them again at the wedding and b-b-ques and such. Mine was for a co-worker, I don't know why I was invited, I was the only one from the office. I think it was due to the fact that I was also getting married at the time and she wanted to be invited to mine.

I would go. Obviously, this guest of honor wants you to be there - who cares if you know anyone else. I have friends from all different circles and many didn't know each other at my shower. It will make things nicer for the wedding!

I would go. I went to my friends baby shower and her family is from Chile...so not only did I not know anyone else but everyone spoke spanish the whole time. I had fun....but I had no idea what was going onChat Icon

I went to one once, I was supposed to go with another friend, but she had a death in the family. I felt very awkward and I am not outgoing either. But this was a friend from HS and I would have felt very guilty if I'd bailed.

Yes I have. It meant so much to me to see people I care about at my shower, and I would like to do the same for my friends.

Re: POLL: Do you go to a baby/bridal shower if you don't know ANYONE except the guest of honor?

Yes. If everyone at my shower who didn't know anyone else had decided not to come I would have had a TINY shower.

I have one or two friends remaining from each "era" of my life, so not many people knew each other.

What really matters is your relationship with the guest of honor.

Re: POLL: Do you go to a baby/bridal shower if you don't know ANYONE except the guest of honor?

I have. In fact, I travelled upstate for it, and none of the bridal party was there, so I, as the youngest person, became the honorary bridal party member.
It was fine.

Re: POLL: Do you go to a baby/bridal shower if you don't know ANYONE except the guest of honor?

I am there for the guest of honor. I can make small talk with anyone and am comfortable by myself with other people nearby. So I would go and be happy for the guest of honor.

I always go. For me it doesn't matter if I know the other attendees, it is my relationship with the person whose shower it is

I do the same thing also if it turns out not to be that way I stay until she opens the gifts or if she takes a break between the gifts.
I meant enough to her to invite shies means enough for me to sacrifice a little of myself.

Re: POLL: Do you go to a baby/bridal shower if you don't know ANYONE except the guest of honor?

It depends on how close I am to the person. If it was a close friend, I would go, if it's a co-worker or someone who I am not that close to, I might skip it and send a gift.

I might not be the best judge though, since I am not a fan of showers and didn't have a wedding shower myself.

I would go. One of my coworkers didn't come to mine pretty mcuh because nmon e of our other co-workers could make it & I was a little upset by that.

But if you aren't close to the bride, that's another story.
