I do agree with you...

Hi there,

I agree with all of your comments. Looking at my response, I can see how it would look like the first line of my response could be answering the very last question asked by the reader. I was actually reaffirming that Yes, as the mom-to-be, she had the right to decide who would be invited to the baby shower.

I briefly went over both sides of the situation and gave her the choice to make the decision on the matter.

Although this question was answered over 2 years ago, I felt it was appropriate to take out the first couple words of the paragraph that was causing the confusion. :)

I think it should be up to the mother-to-be (and hostess) to choose the guest list and that it is actually quite rude for a guest to suggest other guests whom they feel should be invited. It really depends on the relationship between the mother-to-be and the potential guest. If the mother-to-be isn't close to the potential guest and feel comfortable with her attending, then she should not be pressured into inviting that guest (or guilt-tripped into doing so). The step-sister-in-law and family may not fit in well with the already invited guests (presumably old friends of the mother-to-be) and the mother-to-be is the best judge of this. Why should she have to feel uncomfortable at her own shower?
