[DeniseP86]

So basically I had to throw my own baby shower my little sister who said she'd help was not at all any help she was suppose to buy the food an didnt do it luckily I had my aunt make some food.I ended up baking tons of cup cakes which was a lot left over an I bought all the decorations luckily the dollar store had baby shower stuff, then I had family members who said they were gonna make it an didnt make it so many flaked. MY sister even showed up an hour in a half late. sometimes you juat cant depend on family.

Sorry so long ladies, but please let me know if I'm in the wrong??  

I really don't want a baby shower either, too much drama! My "best friend" supposed to have me one, but all of a sudden her and some "old friends" from back in the day when we was in middle/high school decided to all get together and plan a shower and leaves me out in the cold and tells me nothing about what's going on in two months...I mean really??? So, my cousin has been in contact with me about having me a baby shower every since I told her I was pregnant. Now, that my cousin has set the date, time, and got a building to have my baby shower my "best friend" and "old friends" from middle/high gets mad and keep in mind now that we're grown these same people will see you out and about and will look you in your face and not even speak!!! Also, they all have complained about money and being in a bid, when I didn't even ask any of them to do anything for me at all. I don't feel like I'm being mean or wrong for letting my cousin continue on with the baby shower she is already planning and already have everything in place.

I asked my friend to throw mine... she said yes... im not sure whats going on because they feel im not alowed to know when im having it... I gave them a list of ppl names and numbers, my lil sister is soooo exited because I lost my first... I know my family said if I found out the date they will not show.... but I know the family members will be there whenever it is, but I really want my friends there too.... they are the friends that bail on nr 99 but I really hope for the best.. im sorry for those who went through all that awful time with there baby shower..... I wish you all the best and that all will be well for you and the baby....

I have three older sisters all wanted to throw me one.... well one sister took charge had awesome ideas while the other two sisters asked what they can help with and buy that one sister said nothing she had it under control to just buy candy and do the cake pops.... she ended up paying so much for decorations which I told her not too the decorations are the last of the worry but she didn't listen the day of nothing was ready except for the cake pop and candy my other two sisters brought.... the one in charge didn't even prepare the games to play... she wanted me.to open one of the packages of diapers I got so she could do the diaper game I told her no cus that's diapers for my baby for the game she should've gotten. Cheap ones from the 99 and the.prizes sacked it was so embarrassing and when I suggested putting a table some were else cus it was on the way she yelled at me and I decided not to help out in nothing it's supposed to be my day and the babies and no instead she ruined it by not letting anyone help out which a lot of people wanted too... she didn't even do invitations which for me I let people know a month ahead of time and she asked for.my.list of friends and I gave it to her and nothing I ended up doing a Facebook invite a week before my baby shower and my aunts and uncles didn't even go cus they got invited by her two days before it's like really super late invite it's not there fault if the had plans I just did not like the disorganization.... I planned my gender reveal everything by myself the games the food the invitation the games and it was way more relaxing than how my sister did it and she spent so much money that is in the trash cus she didn't save a n y of her decorations she just threw them away

I helped my mom and grandma throw mine. Did all the decorating, paid for stuff and did the cleaning. They did help a ton though. It bothers me none of my friends offered to help... we were told my husband's side of the family was going to throw us one but surprise surprise NOTHING. I kinda expected that though since they aren't dependable and don't seem to want to be involved in our life's even though we try. It bothers me they told us they wanted to throw us one and then bailed without even giving us a heads up.

Its crazy we all had to go threw some of the same things this is why I dont like to depend on no one they jus end up disappointing you in the end. My sis gave me no exclamation of why she wasnt there for me the day before the shower no apology at all but I will definitely let her kno how I feel about the whole situation.

I had my shower last night. Booked a hall at a nice hotel. Asked people if they were certain that they we're gonna come and of course half of the people i invited didn't show, but i was so thankful for my mother, sister and mil who cooked. My 3 good friends threw it for me. At the end, i told myself, the people that showed mattered so much more.

I don't even want a shower honestly but since I haven't had a baby in 14 years I need one. But people suck and are truly flaky but expect you to come to everything they do

[Tati107]

I'm so sorry you had to do all that. I had my shower yesterday too. Although my husband took charge of it. My family ended up talking bad about the shower when they didn't put not one cent or input in it. Most of the people that said they were coming didn't show up. I was grateful for him putting so much. I know it can be stressful.

My co-workers said they would throw me a shower because this is my first and I had to have a shower. Well, one moved across the country and the other has totally forgotten about it. I dont have the money or energy to throw a baby shower for myself...so I won't be having one. I figured I might do a registry for those that wish to buy us stuff, but dont really expect much of that either. Flakey people...family or not, we're surrounded by them it seems.

I never had a baby shower for my other children and since this is my first boy I was going to have one. My sil said she would throw it but, I told her to cancel it because the people who were invited and said they were excited and coming started canceling. I was very disappointed because the few things that I was asked to do like buy and send invitations, make guest list, order the cake I wanted and plan what decorations and food menu would be was already done by me. My sister in law works a full schedule and does my older girls girl scout activities. So, she had asked me to make a few plans on what I wanted and pick colors and stuff and she would buy and do the work. I am on partial bed rest so it was no problem to pick pretty things for her to buy and put up. Well I did everything she ask and I even put a deposit on the cake when I ordered it. Two weeks before the shower people began to cancel and I am out of money for deposits on things that had to be ordered and stuff that had to be scheduled and required deposit. I am also out the money for the awesome invites I ordered and sent out. The deposit on the cake was half the price of the expensive cake. My sil said she is glad they canceled and did not just not show up so she did not spend a lot of money but I already spent a lot. I could have bought the awesome stroller and car seat plus more on what I had already spent. Trust me you are not alone, it s.u.c.k.s..

Nobody in my family threw me a baby shower. My sister got one and my sister in law. Nobody threw me a shower on my husband side of the family either. Makes ya a little depressed and confused. My husband and I bought everything. This is my fist baby too. :(

[emmadelema]

I feel you same thing happened to me out of all the people that showed up only one person came and I bought everything made my own food was a  little sad that day dont feel alone
