About the title of this thread.... "FAMILY SHOWER"
If a co-worker, or co-workers, are planning this shower, and they are making these decisions without consulting with the family, then, I am not going to make any assumptions that this is a 'FAMILY SHOWER'.
We can sit and speculate about all kinds of different scenarios.
But, lets stick to the simple facts.
The planner contacted the OP about the guest list, and now wants the OP to be the one to clarify with another guest that the toddler is not invited.
The question seems to be, should the OP contact this one family member and tell them that the child is not invited.
I still say, no.
If somebody else is planning the shower, controlling the guest list, etc.... Then, that is on them.
There is FAR less drama when people are able to back off from situations that they really are not the one in control, and let the crumbs fall where they may!
And, I am still VERY confused about how nobody in the family is supposed to be invovled in planning a shower for the most personal of family events.
Don't know where that is coming from. But, kinda blows my mind.
