Yesterday I went to a wedding shower. It was at my favorite place to enjoy brunch with a great group of girls. One of Hubby’s closest childhood friends is getting married and this was her shower. My Hubby on the other hand doesn’t take both boys on his own usually. He asked me if I could take Gavin to the shower with me. I stated that the invitation was addressed to me specifically and he went on to say no one would actually care.
Not true. While no one may say anything if I had brought him, which I did not. It doesn’t mean he’s welcome. The same goes for Baby Showers as well. The day is to celebrate the person the shower is being thrown for. If they want children they will specify. This also doesn’t mean calling to ask if it didn’t state children welcome or their name on the invite. That just puts the recipient or the host on the spot and in a hard position. If you can’t find a sitter you simply RSVP that you cannot make it. If you’re close to the person they will most likely ask why and you can then state childcare reasons. You are now putting it in their hands to say thats silly bring them or ok I understand.
What are your thoughts on this? As a mom? As a host?
