I've decided to basically throw my own baby shower ( my mom and SILs are gonna be on the invites and doing the games and stuff but I'm planning it all ) I feel bad having a friend do it due to their financial issues and I'm a bit of a worrier so I'm no good at just "sitting back".

My mom thinks that everyone will think I'm being selfish but I don't know, what do you think?:wacko:
 
Do ut yourself. Tgere are so many stories where someone offers to do it and then you end up doing everything anyways. So just save yourself and do everything how you like it!! Its your baby and you can celebrate however you wish!) good luck
 
I say go for it! My friend offer to do my one (which is this saturday) and then she ended up backing out after I got all excited and told a bunch of people ahead of time. So then my aunt said she would take over and pay for everything and send out the invites.
Needless to say neither of them have done a dang thing for the shower, besides my aunt did send out the invitations but didn't put where I was registered at so I have had people calling and texting me about that and she didn't put my address she just said bass' house. Ok well to my hubby's family that not giving to much detail at all!!
So I had to grab it by the balls and plan the games, food everything! I have spent almost $100 on it so far and still have to pick up just a few odds and ends before Saturday. It pisses me off they OFFER and want to do it but I'm left paying for everything and planning it all alone. So I have gotten to were I'm not looking forward to it at all. I have started cleaning up my house (things I don't do every day or week) because it is going to be at my house. So I have to clean up alone, make all the food and punch alone, decorate and whatever else comes up. So right now I'm just a little pissed because it has been one more expense and one more thing on my plate I have to worry with.
Hopefully come Saturday before people start to show up I will get excited and looking forward to it again but as of right now I'm not :(!
 
I am planning on doing mine myself :) especially if it's at my house. I very much like to be in control and wouldn't feel comfortable expecting other people to buy decorations, cake and food ect. I'd rather just do it all myself and maybe ask my mum or sister help setting it all up. I have a while to wait until mine though :) x
 
Thank you so much for your replies! I feel like ill stress more if I have someone else do it
 
I don't think there is anything wrong with planning it yourself if that's what you want to do.
 
I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to stuff for myself and a my house so in a way I'm glad I have everything done but then it makes e I'll that 2 other people we suppose to elp and haven't. Tbh I would have never done it if I knew I was doing it all alone, for one it makes e feel greedy like everyone has to come with a gift ( which isn't the case). But also we have pretty much everything already. We started buying at 12 weeks because we had nothing, so we just eed a few odds and ends things that are must haves then a few wants.
 
I'm on baby number 4 and I've never had one :(
