Baby shower for daughter in law

[Lady D]

.
I may be confused but isn't the dil in Memphis and folks from this message board from all over the country? Isn't it either a shower for friends and family of the expecting couple or a sort of charity event to help someone out with getting their nursery started? The "charity" route seems like a whole different ball game.

Lady D, how about some of your son's friends and family hosting a shower. He's as much a part of the excitement and good news as the mother. right? ..

Congratulations to them and you!

Thanks Rita. I cannot wait to get my hands on him. They already have the name picked out for him, it is Jackson Scott. He has several friends where he works that he hangs with on occasion. But since they all are married and have kids I cannot see them having time for that. But who knows. Two of her friends have offered to help me.

2 cents from a grandpa. Go with your first instinct and give the shower. You will feel better and be in control and the DIL will appreciate it more. My wife has had the baby showers and bridal showers for all 3 DILs and they all enjoyed and appreciated it.

Give the shower, but it should be limited to people who actually know the family in some way - not strangers.

Neighbors, relatives, co-workers, church folk, old classmates .......

You don't have to have a ton of people, just a nice afternoon. The fact that 2 of her friends already offered to help shows she is just doing a "poor me".

Thank you for dearing that up for me. I thought they lived here.
