I don't love baby showers- I don't know why but having so much attention in my belly kind of freaked me out a little- so I'm kind of glad to be on #2 and not feeling the need to have one. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194837 Sun, 31 May 2015 20:52:34 +0000 mfa_lady 2194837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two showers, two lists of 30-ish people. But, there was some overlap (immediate family) so not sure the exact number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194778 Sun, 31 May 2015 19:22:06 +0000 babycanuck 2194778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my list and hubby's list was about 45, that didn't include my family, just DH's family and our friends. My guess is there will be about 80 invited, no kids. I'd love to have all the kids there but my sister made it clear no kids lol</p> <p>Coed, BBQ, relaxed end of summer party </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194609 Sun, 31 May 2015 12:17:55 +0000 GrapeCrush 2194609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We invited about 70 and I think 64 came. My dad has 5 siblings and MIL has 6, so we have lots of aunts and cousins to invite. </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I want to say between target and babies r us, we had maybe 100ish gifts. I made sure we had a wide range for prices. I mainly put on there what we really wanted/needed. I assumed most people were going to go off registry(since that's what usually happens for baby showers), so I wanted to make sure that those that did follow it had choices, and it was things we actually needed. We were very surprised that we only had about 5 things total that weren't purchased off them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194604 Sun, 31 May 2015 12:11:09 +0000 sunny 2194604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had &lt; 15 people. It was just my closest girl friends who are local. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194545 Sun, 31 May 2015 10:04:56 +0000 daniellemybelle 2194545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I had a pretty conservative registry - I tried to only register for things we needed and I thought we would use. We still didn't get everything though we were able to complete it with gift cards and exchanges! We had a girl and knew the gender so a lot of folks just got us clothes or other girly items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194187 Sat, 30 May 2015 09:49:13 +0000 babynumber1 2194187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was probably 30 ladies, for this baby we have about 39 people, but that's spouses and children. We are keeping this one super small and casual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2194020 Sat, 30 May 2015 00:29:13 +0000 birdofafeather 2194020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 60 for my big family shower.

Small but sweet (and we are shamelessly hoping for the out of towners to send gifts! :wink: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2193515 Fri, 29 May 2015 13:13:06 +0000 daniellemybelle 2193515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember - around 70-80?

Sucks being so far from "home."</p> <p>ETA: If we decide to travel to the US in the fall, we'll prob. have a sip n see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192387 Thu, 28 May 2015 16:18:29 +0000 wonderstruck 2192387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe about 20, and we didn't invite anyone we knew wouldn't be able to come. I was trying to keep costs as low as possible for the host. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192364 Thu, 28 May 2015 16:07:12 +0000 Boogs 2192364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easily 60 people.

It was just my sisters, close female family members, and close girlfriends for me.</p> <p>For my second shower, technically my "sprinkle" for baby #2, it turned out to be bigger than my shower for #1! My mom and sisters threw it, and they invited all the out of town female cousins/aunts so it was more like a big family get together (20ish). Really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192291 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:28:59 +0000 Reese 2192291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>50 invites sent out and 60 people came (everyone said yes and some wanted to bring more people) </p> <p>I'm having a smaller one this Saturday with about 28 people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192281 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:23:40 +0000 mrsjyw 2192281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there were just under 30 guests at my shower w friends and family.

It was my host's first time doing any type of party so I wanted to make sure she was comfortable so we agreed it was a good number. My second shower was about the same, family only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192266 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:15:56 +0000 nana87 2192266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 50? But a lot were from out of town and we knew wouldn't come. We had just under 30 if I remember right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192229 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:52:12 +0000 Meowkers 2192229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>61.

We did not bother inviting out of state people that we know won't come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192191 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:32:35 +0000 BSB 2192191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: @pinkarmadillo: Yeah, I'm thinking that 25-30% of the invitees won't make it. Plus, some are out of state and probably won't be able to make the trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192173 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:25:32 +0000 pinkarmadillo 2192173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having multiple showers since we have family in two different states plus my work will throw me one as well. I'm not sure how many people will show up at the work shower since the whole company is invited but for my family and friends it will be 35 at one and 38 at another on the invite list so right at 73 for me. Of course like PP said not everyone will come. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-people-were-on-your-baby-shower-invite-list#post-2192166 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:22:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2192166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 40 and then probably 30 came </p>
