Baby Shower Posted: 07-05-04 15:49pm
Hey all!
I wanna throw my sis a baby shower (cuz
ive had three thrown for me so far and she
had one) cuz the thing is... Well... She
doesnt really have any friends. She cut
herself off from all her friends once her
and gary started goin out. She talks to
some girls but only has one real friend.
So I wanna throw her a surprise one but I
dont know who to invite!!!! I dont want
it to be like, 2 people cuz she'll get so
depressed but I also wanna throiw her one
cuz I know if I dont.. She'll be more sad
and theres no one else to throw her one.
Sorry to ramble its just I love my sis and
I feel so bad cuz she seems so upset by
this (her fiance's parents havent done a
thing for the baby or bought the baby
anything and they're goin to be movin into
an apartment and they have low low income
and tight budget and still need stuff for
baby... And they make a loot of money) so
anybody have any ideas on ways to get more
people to come?? Like maybe even
aquaintences?? When should I throw it?
(shes due september 11th lol) cuz im due
soon but I wanna have it soon for her...
But I dont wanna plan it around when I go
into labour..... Anybody have any ideas??
Thanx all.. Sorry I rambled a bit lol!
Wow. I have no clue what to tell you,
except that she is so lucky to have a sis
like you. Just invite everyone! Anyone
that might come, even if it's more your
friends too. Call up some of her old
friends and who knows maybe they will want
to be there for her!
Love,
chanda

I have a friend who cut herself off from
alll her friends for a guy. Well coem to
think about it I have a couple friends
like that. But this summer everything has
changed for her, her friends came around
when she needed them. I think you should
find her old address book or talk to some
people you know she was close to and I
think that you will be suprised on how
many people do in fact show up. And as
for when. I got to pick when I would have
mine and I decided to have mine when the
baby was there, because then everyone got
to meet him. But I ended up going into
labor a day late, and the baby shower fell
on the day I got home so I was really
tired. Ok now I am rambling.. Good luck,
and this is really sweet of you.

Lol thanx! Im hoping to have one for her
sometime in july or august (tim and I have
been saving up money to buy her a playpen,
highchair and some boy clothes lol) cuz my
mom is throwing her one too (with all my
moms work friends tho lol) after the babys
born so I wanna do one for her before its
born... Do u think august would be a good
time? I know i'll have a baby by then and
he/she'll still be quite young but do u
think ill be able to handle it with a
newborn?? Hopefully I can, my friend said
she'll help me out too... I just dont
want to have to bring my baby there to the
shower and have people oogle over it while
the showers for my sis.. Would I be able
to leave the baby alone with my mom or
somethin for a few hours?? Gah im getti
off topic now haha! Im just want this to
go right haha!

in law who threw my shower brought along
dalton and everything was fine.
