baby shower issues

[nhenson]

I was wondering if someone offers to throw you a baby shower do u as the expectant mother have to help pay for it and plan it??? Please help

I will say why not help out. At the end it will be your party. My husband is paying for our baby shower. We are planning everything. If people offer to help then great if not that is not a problem. I want people to come and have a great time.

Thank u ladies...its my best friend and she said she was taking care of it all now she says I need to pay half. I just feel I coulda thrown it myself if I was gonna have to plan and pay. I told her there is someone else that wants to throw it and she got in her feelings. I just don't have time for the extra stress of doing that and getting everything ready for baby.

If they offered they should plan and pay but that's my opinion. I'm planning my own with help from my mother and 2 girlfriends who are helping plan and pay

I think it depends on everyone's situation. I would always offer to help pay for mine. My mum is hosting and she can afford to put it on but I have offered to pay for the invitations and to bring some of the food (will make some cakes). Whereas if my mum couldn't afford it I would work out with her what I could pay for and what she could. Planning wise it shouldn't be the expectant mothers job to do that, unless of course you want to!!!

I would say it depends on who is offering and how grand or simple they are planning it to be.
