Baby showers- do you bring your kids?
This is a co-worker's wife- he is throwing it- and I'm wondering who else is invited. Should I ask if kids are welcome? I want to go and I feel like DH will be stressed to the max (he will be in the midst of giving and grading finals) and it would be easier if I could bring her, but I don't want to be rude and ask if she can come.

If they did not include her on the invite, I would assume she is not invited. I am sure if you had no other option and asked they wouldn't have a problem. It is very hard to invite everyone plus their children, especially when you have a large family plus friends and coworkers.

Agreed. I'm not sure if they would have no problem even if you have no other option--I could not accomodate children, and unfortunately had to say no to friends who couldn't find sitters and wanted to bring their DC. it would have doubled our number if I had allowed everyone to bring their DC.

This is how I view it as well.

Re: Baby showers- do you bring your kids?
i honestly never gave it a thought if i could bring my ds to a baby shower. in the past if ive been invited i have assumed is ok to bring ds being its a baby shower, shower etc.
when i have responded to invites i have made them aware that it will be me and ds coming along.
i dunno im one of those people that cant understand why people invite someone and demand they dont bring their children.

I would assume DD isn't invited.
If it was my sister or very close family member, I would think it's ok. I would ask first though. But anyone else, I wouldn't even ask.

I don't unless the girls are invited. If the invite isn't addressed to "The G Family" or their names aren't specifically on it - I don't ask and I don't bring them.

To a co-workers shower? Definitely not. Family? Yes, most likely.

Re: Baby showers- do you bring your kids?
i do not nor do i assume it is ok to say me & ds/dd are coming, unless specifically on the invite were their names.
i know with my baby shower, a few of my friends had newborns, so i included them on the invite, for those with older children i only included my friends name

Re: Baby showers- do you bring your kids?
I agree with most of the ladies above. I would not bring DD unless her name or the ____ Family was on an invite. If it was a super close friend and I had no sitter, I would ask to bring DD ...definately not for a co workers shower though.

Re: Baby showers- do you bring your kids?
Thanks everyone. The email came via Google calendar- that in itself is new, so I wasn't really sure if the invite was for me or if kids were welcome.
