Anyways I bought some invitations and need help filling out some of it.

Ok, since I am pretty much planning my own shower. Do I put it is for myself, and given by my mom? Or could I put for baby (our last name) and given by myself?

Also, on the RSVP part, some people have kids would you fill that part out of just leave it blank? I don't really care if they bring the kids.. since my girls most likely be there as well.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I would put that the shower is for you and being hosted by your mom! And you could also add that children are welcome.

ediep replied: I think i'd do something like....

given by: the family

rsvp: your name and ph#

then if you don't mind if the kids come I'd address the envelope to say Smith Family, for example. Then when they call to respond you can say to them that the kids are welcome...if your Dh will be there, you also might want to include husbands too. We did that at my shower for Emma and it was nice for the kids and husbands to be there.

3xsthefun replied: Ok, thankyou both for the help.

I don't think Rob will be staying at the shower, he will help set up and clean up but that will be it. He thinks showers are just for the women.

Kaitlin'smom replied: most men do

anyway Ya I would not put your hosting your own shower, use your mom or the family idea. Kids if you want them to come include them on the invite, if you dont mind them showing up just mention they are welcome.

3xsthefun replied: Ok, so on the RSVP part I'd put my name and # and not the number of people who are invited?

hopefulmomtobe replied: Yea, the RSVP is so you will know who will be coming (so you will know how much food to get ready) so put your name and number there.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
yep your name and number goes there so they can call you and let you know they will be attending or not.

lisar replied:
I agree.

3xsthefun replied: Ok, thanks all! What would I do with without you all? LOL! I'd probably be in trouble I know that.

I went ahead and put given by family. I put my name and number in the RSVP blandk, but under it I put kids are welcome. I hope it will be ok.

Nina J replied: Thats what I would have done You'll have a great time..

3xsthefun replied: Ok, good.
