shower guest question
So my baby shower is this Sunday. I invited 3 girls from work- one said she is coming, one cant come because she is pregnant and on bedrest and the other one its unlikely that she is coming. I know I obviously cant control who comes and who doesn't, but I feel bad that the one girl is coming alone. Should I tell her she can bring her 10 year old daughter with her? Am I overthinking this?

I have the same exact situation. 3 invites from work- 1 is coming. I am very close with the one who is coming though- we eat lunch together every day, so I will just make sure to sit with her.

Thanks for the response! I just started my job a few months ago but I have gotten close to a few of the girls. The one that's coming I have gone out to lunch with a few times and we email all day long. I will make sure I set her with my other friends but do you think I should tell her she can bring her daughter? I know I wont get to spend too much time with everyone esp with gift opening, mingling, etc.

Re: shower guest question
i think it's fine if she went by herself. depending on who she's sitting with she might make a few friends!

It doesn't hurt to let her bring her daughter, but i don't think it's necessary. Make sure you introduce her to someone. Personally, I am sitting with my good friends- not family- bc i didn't want to have to decide between my moms side, dads side, stepfathers. So I just made sure she was included in that.

Sit her next to some friendly people and she should be fine. Probably friends of yours would be best!

She will be fine. Just make sure you go out of your way to talk to her a bit and introduce her to people!

Personally I look at parties and showers as an excuse to get away from my kids (as terrible as that sounds, mom needs a break too!) I wouldn't extend the invite to her LO. Instead I would sit her with some other friends of yours around the same age. She can make small talk for 3 hours or so, no big deal.
