It was really lovely. I felt like I spent quality time with each of my guests, which I feel is the main advantage of having a smaller shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31271 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:59:39 +0000 chopsuey 31271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only friends and family. Boys were allowed at my shower. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31267 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:45:38 +0000 pastemoo 31267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( I don't know anyone here, so if I had a shower I don't know who I'd invite. I have 6 college friends in the area. So,... 6?<br /> I'm far from both our families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31264 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:30:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 31264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was JUST thinking about this this morning. DH has a HUGE family and most of them I "kinda" know.... I know my mom &amp; bestie can't do a 100+ person shower (his family is seriously huge) and we're REALLY involved &amp; close with our church family.</p> <p>Maybe I can get 2... a family one (or atleast his side) and then a friends one. idk but it's stressful to think about. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31245 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:10:04 +0000 heffalump 31245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a huge shower. It was coed so that doubled the size and we invited some of my husband's friends that I wouldn't have if it were just mine. Plus a large number of guests were my mom's friends and I told her she can invite whoever she wanted since she was hosting.</p> <p>It was super fun....and we got tons of much needed gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31235 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 12:00:50 +0000 MH.Abroad 31235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on having two -<br /> The first one with just girls, my family and closest friends that is very intimate and special, with lots of attention put into little details and time spent recording messages for baby and such.</p> <p>The second one really big co-ed one where practically everyone I know is invited, where we'll have lots of fun activities like onesie-decorating and such.<br /> My best friend will host the first one and my Mom the second. </p> <p>And then we also want to host our own "Meet the Baby" party a month or due after it arrives, just because I love parties and party planning so much and I'd like to have the opportunity to see everyone after being cooped up with baby. That last party would be gift-free, if people want to bring something they can bring food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-size#post-31221 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:42:53 +0000 lavender 31221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm in the process of coming up with my baby shower invite list. So I'm wondering, did you have a large invite everyone baby shower or a small intimate close friends/family shower? </p>
