Question about Baby shower guest list
I am just curious as to how many people you invited....or had attend your baby shower?.....or if you had your baby shower how many you invited vs how many actually attended.
I think I gave my mom a heart attack when I sent my friends list of 28 people...and that is not including any family from either side 
I am thinking there is still that 20% no show rate that usually applies with weddings. lol.

28 is just my friends...not any family members.
Is your list 35 total friends and family?

Question about Baby shower guest list
we're planning a co-ed shower and our list is at 85 people. SO many people have said "make sure you invite me to the shower" we feel like we have no choice.

I wanted to keep it simple and decided against co-ed...because I knew if we did it that way the numbers would be super high. I wanted to keep it as a lunch/brunch type affair in a restaurant over having to rent a hall. My MIL wanted a co-ed and I think is a little bummed I don't want one.

Re: Question about Baby shower guest list
I think 45 ended up being invited with last-minute additions and we had 27 attend. The list was a lot of out of towners though.

Re: Question about Baby shower guest list
My first shower we had over 100ppl. The last shower we had about 50. We both have very big families so if they invite one they have to invite them all.
EDT: For my last, I didn't want a shower so my sister kept it really small and surprised me but with that all, I had 50 ppl in my apartment.

i would assume the same 10-15% don't show up, just like any larger function, like a wedding.

Re: Question about Baby shower guest list
We both have larger families, so we invited about 80. We were hoping a lot more wouldn't show since it was right after 4th of July. Only 10 said no, and we have 11 little girls on top of the 70 adults

I don't know what the total is yet because I don't know who is being invited family wise on my side or DH side.
I did cut out a few people...so I got it down to 23 or 24 people.
My mom is recovering from my bridal shower and wedding last year so I don't want to give her a heart attack.
