The lady who planned to throw my sisters shower has decided not to throw an individual shower for my sister but to throw an "office shower" for my sister and 2 other ladies who are pregnant in the office instead. My Mother and I feel that my sister should have her own shower (especially since this is her first and she has tried for over 3 years to get pregnant)with her family and friends as well but we are conflicted on how to invite the office friends without offending them for receiving 2 shower invites. Is there a good way to include them but let them know that we are aware they have already participated in a shower for her so we don't expect them to bring a gift to this one as well?

I am having a similar problem with my sister in laws shower. The girls she works with at a hair salon want to throw her a shower down in the work place, with just them. All fine and good, but do I also invite them to the 'main' baby shower thats being thrown? And if so, how do I tactfully let them know that gifts are not expected a second time, or just do I let them assume that on there own? I never had this problem before and do not know how to handle it, so thank you Anonymous for bringing the subject up. At first I thought it was rude of me to even think of excluding them or inviting them but not knowing how to let them know that a gift is not expected a second time.

I would put an insert in their invitation stating that because they have already attended the work shower to please not bring a gift, their company is gift enough...something like that.

I am throwing a shower for two co-worker friends who are pregnant. I have been invited to one of thier family showers. My friend just told me she wants to come and eat and not to bring a gift because of the shower I am throwing. It really doesn't need to be a crisis. I plan on bringing diapers because I want to help her out, not because I feel obligated. I'm sure they will understand. And who cares, if they don't. Worry about your sister, not her coworkers :)
