Baby Shower

Hi!

I am new to the baby world haha. Who really gets invited to a baby shower? Is it a similar list to the wedding shower? I recently got married and I still have the list from that shower, but I am not sure if a baby shower is meant to be more personal.

Thanks!

My baby shower list is pretty close to my bridal shower. It's still mostly family and really close friends.

My list is pretty similar to my bridal shower list. The only difference is there are a couple people who have become a bigger part of my life over the past few years that weren't invited to my bridal shower but will be invited to the baby shower.

 It's important to consider how many guests your hostess can accomodate. I would find that out and go from there.

I remember leaving my bridal shower lists up to my mother and mother-in-law, so there were quite a few guests. Baby showers were always close friends and family.

My list is pretty much the same as my bridal shower list. We both have huge families so it is really just family and close friends!

We have pretty much the exact list from our bridal shower and have added and deleted a few people.

I think its a personal decision. If you prefer a more intimate shower with just close relatives and friends that is fine or if you want a big wedding then that's wonderful too.

My baby shower was much smaller than my bridal shower. The baby shower consisted of my close friends and close family and DH's close family, only. My bridal shower included a lot more of my mother's and mother in law's friends, as well.
