I've just received two baby shower invitations (not for me): One is scheduled on my due date, and the other is scheduled for the day after my due date.
My initial reaction was to just decline.

Do you want to go? If it was one I would go to out of obligation, I would decline. If it was one I wanted to go to but wasn't sure if make it I would tell the host exactly that.

i had a wedding shower to attend a week before my due date. i rsvp'd yes but then just sent her a text saying if i thought i was even close to being in labor then i wouldn't be able to make it. she was totally cool with it. and seeing how i went 6 days over, i made it.

My brother is getting married a week before my due date. I'll be there but I can't promise my water won't break on his fiances shoes.

It depends on who they are for. If it's someone you are close to they probably wouldn't mind a maybe response, but if it's more of an obligation than you have a free pass to declining!

If I wanted to go, I'd tell them that I would be there as long as I wasn't in labour/just had baby. If I didn't want to go, I'd decline!

I'd accept on the condition I was still pregnant. I'm sure they understand.

If I really wanted to go, I'd say YES, but obviously, with the stipulation that I wasn't in labor. If I didn't really want to go, I'd use this as a really good excuse!!

I said yes to everything, but told hostesses of things that I might not make it due to baby coming. If events are local, live it up girl! Your baby might be 3 weeks early (mine was almost 4 weeks early) or could be 10 days late, so why put your life on hold and miss out on the fun?
