Proper Baby Shower Etiquette for Inviting Women

by Myra
(Exeter, CA US)

I am hosting a shower for my best friend. this is her third child and we don't want to have a big bash, just something small and personal to honor her as a mother... and shower her with new things for the new addition to the family.Not to mention her relatives have big families and don't want things to get chaotic with kids. So, how can I, respectfully note it in the invitation that we want to only invite the women and not the entire family?

Answer

It is always so difficult telling people not to bring their children. Wording like "enjoy a mother's day out" or "join us for a mother's only affair" may help. Sometimes calling for an RSVP and then mentioning that others are planning to attend without their children may help emphasize the "no kids" message. Be prepared that there will still be at least 1 person who brings her children, no matter how clear the message may be.

Enjoy your baby shower!
