I wasplaning a small baby shower for about 15people and i havent given out half of the invitations out and i already have like 30 people calling me saying that they cant wait to go to my babyshower. I dont know what to do!? I only invited 4 out of 15people on my list and out of nowhere like 30 people aresaying that they are coming to the babyshower! I dnt have money to feed that many people. Help me! :(
 
Huh they just invited themselves??

You could just ask everyone to bring some food if thats all your worried about... like plan it out so each person brings a set thing and you get a whole buffet out of it :)

Sorry for my english my first language is spanish.lol.
 
Won't they all bring gifts? That's got ot be a good thing.
Just buy some cheap bread and things to make sandwiches, Buy a value pack of frozen sausage rolls and cook them, Some cheap crisps poured into bowls. It really shouldn't work out to expensive.
Party foods don't have to cost a fortune, you could even ask a few of the guests to help supply some food instead of bringing gifts?
Hope it all goes okay.
 
I would but in my family is consider bad manners to ask guest to bring food and i dont want to seem rude. And i dont even talk to the people that invited themselves.
 
My family loves to critize,mostly my sisters,and they would be talking if i made something simple. And no most of these univited guest never bring gifts they just want to eat. I guess ima make sandwiches.lol.
 
If you dont even speak to them, why cant you tell them that you're sorry but they're not invited as its only a small get together. They cant really get that offended if you dont talk anyway
 
I wish i could but i cant bring myself to tell them that they arent invited.
 
my advice is do a pot luck, get everyone to bring one item of either food or drinks, im sure everyone will be fine with it. We did it at my sons baby shower and everyone was happy to bring something .

if your family is offeneded by it im really sorry but thats rediculous they cant expect you to feed 15 people.

Someone else isnt throwing you a babyshower? it shouldnt be your responsibility.
 
its not fair on you that you have to be catering for people who have invited there ownselves to your baby shower. For all you know, after the baby shower you might never hear nothing from them again.
f you dont want to tell them, then you are gonna be catering for people just because they want to come for the food's sake

If you hardly speak to them, and you have to have decent food to impress your family, and they're unlikely to bring a gift for your baby, then I personally would ask them not to come.
 
Poor you hun :hugs: but yeah you will get more prezzies lol :)

Why don’t you make what you planned on with a few other cheap party foods? Could you ask your mum or close friends who won’t talk to help you?

Let those who want to criticise you criticise you as they will only find another way to do so, I'm sure it will be wonderful and they won’t have much to criticise as you seem a lovely well mannered person and I'm sure you’ll make them all feel welcome (even though they invited themselves lol)

Good Luck and take lots of pics and let us know how it goes :);)

xxxxxx


EDIT:If they don't bring gift I’m sure you will not be the one in the firing line of criticism xxx
 
No one in my family is excited about my baby. Like when i say that my tummy hurts all they say is WELL IF YOU WERENT PREGNANT THEN YOU COULD TAKE SOME MEDICINE BUT MAYBE YOULL LEARN THAT YOU SHOULDNT GET PREGNANT AGAIN. And im already married! And they still get mad because im pregnant.
 
I would make it clear hun you don’t need constant nagging and that in you or your baby’s life tell them either show support or to stop bothering you like this. Its appalling they think you can be spoken to like that this is your life not there’s and they should like it or leave it

^^ agreed with above poster, its your life and your body
 
Thanks everyone. I just have alot of thinking to do and now i have to find more tables and chairs! My head seems to be hurting. Dont know if i wrote this right? Or is it my head it hurts right now? Oh wells, hope it makes sense.
 
Your English is great you make perfect sense

Good Luck with it all :hugs: let us know how it goes xxxx
 
I mean my sisters could have 6 kids for all i care and they wouldn hear me telling them to stop having babies.
 
i'd probs say no invatation no entry lol. but then again thats just me.. put your foot down and tell them if you haven't been invited you dont come.

OR.. if your coming bring a bit of contribution towards buffet food :) xx
