Q: I have no idea what to do! Conflicts ovr baby shower, Any advice?

So heres the prob. My mom (whos a control freak anyways) doesnt like my bff. My bff wants 2 throw a shower, as does my mom. As does my MIL. Im due w/ twin girls 4/1/13. So, to complicate things my MIL (whos amazingly sweet) is leaving on vac 2 arizona early jan & is bummed abt missing out (her sons 1st children). So MIL is wanting 2 do shower in early dec. But I know xmas is coming & everyones gonna be short on time & $ & I dont wanna burden anyone. The orig plan was 2 have it late feb when peop had recovered frm xmas. So now theyre (bff &MIL) talking abt throwing 2 showers so (1 early dec & 1 feb) MILs included, & that doesnt acct 4 what my mom has planned on her own. Tho I dont wanna disinclude anyone im worried abt putting peop out or coming across as greedy (even tho none of this was my idea). Im not sure what the right thing to do here is. Any suggestions? I have no idea what to do. And just want 2 make sure everyones happy & no ones left out. . .

i only had one shower with my twin girls my bff organised it she came up to do it, my mother in law made a cake, everyone had there own thing, if you think you can handle 2 showers then do 2.. but dont over do it if you dont want to, you could say your too tired. I actually had a friend decide to do my bff's baby shower before i had a chance shes quite out going and is running the show but i will be doing something at least, i did get over it! im sure they would too. Hope it all works out for you!!

If you think your mil, mom and bff will all have separate groups of people to invite, then 3 showers could work because it would be different people at each event. If they all invite the same people, then people are going to be annoyed to have to buy 3 gifts and go to 3 parties. I know my family/friends will probably do at least 2 showers because my friends would have one as well as my family. Good luck.

BFF can throw a small shower at her house for you and your friends....your mother and MIL can throw one together when it is convenient for your MIL for family. No need for 3 separate showers, unless it can't work any other way.
