Is it ok to assume that my kids are invited to the baby shower if they are not on the invite?

I'm going to a baby shower. Only my name is on the invitation.

Do you think it would be ok to assume it is ok for 2m DS to come?

I don't plan to take 2yo DS.

Update: I am not planning to take DS. I originally asked the question out of pure innocence. Every baby shower I have been to has had children. I thought it was ok to assume that the baby was invited to a baby shower but that is obviously not the case.

No, definitely not! I thik it's fine to ask, especially if you are BFing, but my guess is that if they were invited it would have said so.

I think its fine to bring an infant. Definitely not a toddler.

No - not at all. I would never assume anyone is invited that isn't named on the invite. Babies or toddlers.

No. I think the invite is only for you. If you want to ask if you can bring your 2 month old because you are nursing I can understand that but the older DC I would find a babysitter. I would also be prepared for them to tell you to find a sitter for the 2 month old as well.

Agreed. I am about to send out invites for my sister's shower and we are only inviting the children of family members, so we are including their names on the envelope. We *hope* that non-family members will assume that since their child's name is not there that the invite is only meant for them alone. I will gladly welcome calls to clarify that though! I'd rather people ask then just bring. I do think most people would make an exception for a NB though. It's not like they are taking a seat, eating the food or generally causing a ruckus. Chat Icon

I would definitely ask because I think it's the right thing to do, but I can't imagine anyone having an issue with a 2 month old being there- it's not like they are doing anything at that age!

Nope, not at all. I would never assume my DC are invited somewhere if they are not on the invitation.

I wouldnt assume anything. I would call and ask, and only if you are EBF. If you are FF I would leave the baby home.

I would assume the kids aren't invited. I'd feel funny asking, unless it was a close relative or one of my closest friends.

If only your name on the invite, it's never OK to assume you can bring anybody else, baby included.

I would ask.

I definitely would not assume it was okay. If they wanted the children at the shower, they would have put their names on the invite.
