Got an envelope in the mail today.
It wasn't a bill.
Good start.
Pretty little envelope, scrolly writing.
Open it up and it's an invite to a baby shower?
For....who?
Do I know someone who is pregnant?
I don't think so.
OK wait.
Someone who just had a baby?
Gee, not that I can think of.
I don't recognize this name.
I have no earthly idea who this is for?
I don't recognize the name of the lady hosting either.
This envelope is addressed to me and my girls.
BY NAME.
It's my address.
How do I not know who the honouree is?
Think Think Think
Rack that brain.
Ah Ha!
Emma had a baby about three weeks ago!
Hubby's second cousin's girlfriend.
I have met her.... mmm I think twice?
Guess I'm going to a baby shower?

I hope you have fun?!?
Can you just send some bibs and a card and be done w/it?
lol... dont you just love stuff like this!!
I think it is funny when someone is hosting a party that they dig really deep in the address book to fill up the gift basket. ;)
Oh I always love (as in, not really) those kind of surprises! Here's hoping you have fun!
I hope you don't feel like you HAVE to go! But that is so funny that at first you had no idea who it was from!
hey just make the best of it...baby showers = food and cake! yum! haha! But...don't most people have a shower BEFORE the baby arrives?
I hate that..when you get an invite and you have no idea who it is for. I agree with some of the previous comments..you shouldn't feel obligated to attend.
Perhaps whoever is hosting feels obligated to invited ALL family including extended. Or, maybe you just made a fabulous impression the one or two times you actually met this person (wink, wink). I guess you could always just send a card and gift.
I hate when that happens! LOL!
We're not too clued up in England about baby showers - but I did think it happened before baby came. Maybe she didnt realise she was having a baby - or just forgot???
Oh well, better than bill!
Or is it?
Have fun if you go - have fun if you dont...! RM x
I'm with 'ME'.
Hi Modern Mom! Of course you could always excuse yourself saying you've gone down with a bad case of amnesia!
Great post as always!
Take care
xNora :)
I'm with 'Me' - you shouldn't have to feel obligated to go... :)
Have fun at the baby shower!
Have a great weekend..
Don't you just love it when you almost have to be introduced to the person of honor?
