Baby shower dilemma: advice please!
Originally I wanted a 'Jack and Jill' shower (both men and women invited) but, obviously, it just about doubles your attendance number. My family says they can't afford a shower that big, so they've suggested that we cut the number by either cutting about half of the people/ couples invited in general or cutting all the men and having a traditional, women only shower.
I really don't want a women only shower. I feel it leaves out some of the most important people: dads, brothers, uncles, etc. But my family has pointed out that a couple will still give the same gift, whether it's both people or if just the woman attends. So you have to have food and alcohol for double the people.
Essentially: cut half the couples- get half the gifts; cut just the men- get the same gifts from wives/ girlfriends who will "represent" for them.
All of this makes me want to cut the shower idea entirely!
Any advice please! Is it more important to have the people and memories, or should I bite the bullet and have a traditional shower in order to get the things my baby will need?
