Re: Kids at baby shower
I am having my flowergirl who is about 8 or 9...and I know my nephew who is 1 and 1/2 and another girl under 2 are coming, no one else has mentioned bringing their small children, but I don't really mind if they do.

Re: Kids at baby shower
there are going to be a few children invited to mine. If it was totally up to me only my little cousin would be invited (shes 3) but then it gets into well if you invited one, you have to invite them all, but hopefully, they wont come
...I guess I should feel different about this now that Im becoming a mom, but I just cant stand when little kids go to any kind of party and they are just all over the place, into everything and yelling. I just dont think its a place for kids and if I have to go to a shower (or any other event) im going to do everything i can to get a sitter

we always have little girls at our family showers.
ITA.
Bridal showers I get, but I think baby showers should be open to little girls
I agree. If it's only 2 kids, you probably won't even notice them.

Re: Kids at baby shower
I have soo many children in my immediate family and I just couldn't imagine them not being there. I like to have them help me open some of the presents, and put all the bows on the bow hat, etc. WIth only two kids there, I don't thin you will really notice it :)

Re: Kids at baby shower
My cousin who is 12 will definitely be there, I adore her and she would be hurt if she was left out. If I had nieces I'd want them there too (Heck, I'd be ok with my nephew being there..although he'll totally steal my Mom away from me all day HAHA). I think random little kids, you have no relation to nor have ever met is random and I wouldn't love the idea either.

Re: Kids at baby shower
I am not having any kids EXCEPT my little nephew and I told my SIL that she could bring him and I think my brother is only bringing him at the end. Unless you have a relationship with these kids I don't see why they need to be there.

Re: Kids at baby shower
Since it is your shower, I would kindly express that you would prefer an adult only party. Maybe itemize your reasons for feeling this way so she will understand. Who is throwing the party Mich?
I have no choice. My youngest sibs are 13 and 10. And my MIL would kill me if my nieces were not there (9,8 8,5).

Re: Kids at baby shower
How many girls are you talking? Is it just 1 or 2? Or is it like 10? I don't care for having kids at baby showers or bridal showers. I told my mother that since we weren't having kdis at our wedding, I did not want any at our bridal and baby shower.

I guess it depends on your relationship with your MIL on how to handle it. If it is the norm in your in-laws family to have kids at showers, it may be hard to get around it. Is it b/c you just don't like the kids that are being invited-do they misbehave alot?
They are not misbehaved AT ALL. One is like 12 and the other is 9. The MAIN issue is seating. Im already a almost full capacity and i dont wnat to have to redo all my seating bc of 2 kids that have to sit w/ thier mom. Not to mention ive met these kids like 3-4x each. NO relationship w/ them AT ALL. One wouldnt know me if she saw me in te mall. The other MIGHT
Can you explain this to MIL-or that it will put you in a bad position with other people whom you are close with that have children because they are not invited?

I am actually excited that there will be kids at my shower. they will give me an excuse to stay away from the adults  
since it's outdoors in our backyard, I will probably set up a kiddie pool for them to frolic in and let them go about their merrily way. they will also probably insist on "helping" me with the presents, which will also be awesome b/c it will help me think of things to say when I unveil the eleventy-billionth onesie
I also had my nieces and godsons at my bridal shower though...I guess the way I look at it is..they are family, even if they are little. 
This is pretty much exactly us too - backyard BBQ shower - men, women & children all invited.

Re: Kids at baby shower
I have no issue with it, or men for that matter.
But then again my shower is going to be like a big BBQ. Pretty informal - more of a get together to celebrate our baby.

Re: Kids at baby shower
It would all depend on who the kids were. Little girls that were close to me neices, close cousins/close friends kids etc would be fine with me, but I would not want a bunch of guests to just bring there kids. Not to mention $$$$ would be a factor for me to. We had our shower at a place, had a sit down dinner and paid per head. I also think that it is your shower and you should call the shots and do what you prefer!
