Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
I made an entrance! I think I got there about 20 minutes after it started
It was good and bad- good because everyone was there and it was nice to see everything all set-up... but it was a little overwhelming to have all those people jumping at me and trying to touch my belly at once- might have been easier if it was a little at a time

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
The thing is... the whole point of me not being surpised is that I haaaaaaate being the center of attention! lol I figured arriving early with my Mom/Sister and to greet people as they arrived would be more comfy for me, BUT I don't want it to come off as tacky, KWIM?

That's why I came after everyone. I felt like I wasn't the host and shouldn't be there to greet everyone as they walked in so I could promptly take their gift.

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. For my Bridal shower I knew about it, but still arrived after everybody. It was nice that way. However, not sure how it'll happen with the baby shower. I know about it, so I think I'll just go early and help set up and greet people. No reason to come in late.

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
I know about mine, but my mom still wants me to arrive 15-20 mins later. The funny thing is that I did this for my bridal shower and no one noticed me when I walked in. Everyone was chatting. I had to announce, "I'm here!"

I really get so anxious being the center of attention and imagine that I'll arrive early I did for my bridal shower.

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
Mine will probably be at noon and I'll arrive around 12:15 or 12:20. I knew about my bridal shower, and I felt it was really awkward greeting people as they came in.

I plan on getting to mine early so I can greet everyone as they arrive and won't have to do it all at once.

I plan on doing the same thing. I've heard from friends that have been there from the beginning that it allowed them to say hi to everyone as they came in and then sit and eat and enjoy themselves

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
I got there on time...One main gripe I have about surprise showers is that guests have to sit there for a while before the guest of honor actually arrives....lol so I didn't want to do that. Plus I wanted to enjoy every second of it.

Re: For girls who know/knew about your shower...
I'm going early! My mom and sister tell everyone that RSVPs that it's not a surprise anyway so they will expect to see me!
