I want to Share my babyshower

Im due in July and my SIL is due in June. She is not having a babyshower because she has a tight budget and her daughter is turning 1 in April. My dads gf has already started to plan my babyshower which I want to have on June 1, 2013 and I would really like it if we could have a joint baby shower just to share and have our loved ones come to just one shower when their are 2 LO's being born. I asked her if she wanted to have a joint baby shower and she said no but that she would come. Is it a nice jesture just to go ahead and let our family know to bring things for her also or just let it go and enjoy my babyshower.

No, don't do this.  This shower is for you- leave it at that.  Don't tell people "Oh- bring a gift for her too".  If they want to get her something on their own for her, they will.

You offered, she declined.  It was a sweet idea but let it go, she doesn't want it.

I wouldn't ask guests to also bring stuff for her, she said no.  Besides, she has a 1 year old so she probably doesn't need anything for the new baby.  Anyone who is close with her and will want to get her something for her 2nd child will probably do so after it's born.

Please do not ask you guests to bring an additional gift for her.  That would be putting a lot of people ( including your SIL) in an aswkward position.  Just let it go.
