SHower Etiquette?
Why do some people ASSUME their children are invited everywhere. My mom is paying and planned my shower which is this Sunday. I already got 2 -3 phonecalls about bringing kids.
I am not a mean person, but it is an adult only party and i cant have one kid without all the kids. Then I feel bad for the moms who actually got a babysitter.
These arent family members either. Then the people who arent bringing their kids assume their husbands are hanging out at my home while the wives are at my shower.
Maybe it is me. But we are in the middle of re-doing the basement, my house is in dissarray. Plus, it is a mess for anyone to bring their kid.
WHy do people assume and not ask? It is so rude!

Re: SHower Etiquette?
I know how you feel I have planned so many parties and it always happens regardless of the event and the time of day. to avoid putting my family through the fustration I invited the children that are only girls since it is a shower. This way there will be about 9 children.

Re: Shower Etiquette?
I would say a shower is mainly for adults. Of course there is an exception to every rule... My sisters daughter who was 5 at the time was at my bridal shower but my sister hosted it and besides she was my flower girl

Re: SHower Etiquette?
Maybe, I will be the only one that thinks this but I think Baby Showers are celebrating the new child that will be brought into the family, why not allow the children that this child wil most likely grow up with come and celebrate his/her pending arrival...
I am having a co-ed shower and we invited children as well. To keep them still (for at least a little while) we got onsies that they will decorate with fabric markers for the baby to wear once he is born...

Re: SHower Etiquette?
I can understand why you are upset, but in my family children are invited to showers and weddings.
Sorry that people are stressing you out this close to the date.

Re: SHower Etiquette?
I just never understood the nerve of ppl that bring their children to a party they WERE NOT invited too..
If a family is invited it will have the childrens names on the envelope or simply say " family"
What gives the person invited the right to decided they are going to bring their kids to a party they were not invited too?
150% nervy.
These are ppl that just " never get it"
