Baby shower

We’re doing a co-ed baby shower with both our families combined so this will be our only shower for our first baby. We have made a list of who we think we should invite but feel like it may be too much. We have 120 in total but we know there would be a handful that probably won’t show up. How big were your guys’ baby showers and do you think 120 people before the ones that won’t be available is too many for a first baby shower with both families combined?

Wow! If you have the space and the host can handle all the food etc go for it!!!! we have 60ish coming to ours, it seems like a lot but it’s also coed which makes it more fun 🤣

Your baby shower can be whatever you want it to be! I combined mine and had a decent amount of people show. If 120 people want to come celebrate your child, let them! You do have to greet/thank everyone/goodbyes so you will be busy!

Your shower can be as big as you want!👌🏾 My showers were pretty big. I ended up having three, one in my hometown, one in my husband's hometown, and one in our current city. About 200 people showed up to the one in my hometown.🤦🏾‍♀️Around 150ish people showed up to the shower in my husband's hometown. The one in our current city was the smallest, only about 70, but that's pretty much all we invited. The only people we invited to that one were my Sorority Sisters (obviously since they hosted it), our church family, a few of my other friends from college, some of my husband's friends from college, our neighbors, and my husband's colleagues (surprisingly some of them actually showed up, didn't really expect coaches to show up lol). We did not greet everyone individually lol.🤷🏾‍♀️ At the shower in my hometown, my mother greeted everyone. After she greeted everyone, my husband and I got on the mic to say hello and then the festivities began. At the end, we thanked everyone for coming and made sure to tell to pick up their favor baskets and bags. Some came up to our table as they were leaving to hug us. It was pretty much the same routine at the one in my husband's hometown. My mother-in-love (mother-in-law) greeted everyone and welcomed them. Then we followed up by getting the mic and greeting everyone then shower festivities began. At the one in our current city, we actually greeted everyone as a whole before my Sorority Sisters (the hostesses) did. I hope you have a wonderful shower. 👍🏾
