WWGPMD? - Shower related
in GP Moms
A little background info:
I'm originally from NJ and moved to MA in April. Obviously most of my good friends are still in NJ, but I have a lot of "new" friends here in MA (they're new to me, but most of them have been friends with DH for a while).
My sister already wants to talk shower. She has been speaking with my SIL (who also lives in MA) and they want to know if I want one shower or two (one in MA and one in NJ). My sister lives in VA, so she'd have to travel either way and would try to come to both if I had two. If I only have one, a lot of people will have to travel no matter where it is. Plus, I'm afraid it will look gift-grabby to invite people who live three hours away knowing they probably won't come. If it's in NJ my really close friends are more likely to be able to make it, but my friends in MA probably won't because I'm not as close to them (maybe two or three would make the trip)... If it's in MA I know a few of my friends would make the trip from NJ, but some already have kids and probably won't be able to. My MIL and SIL already came to NJ for my bridal shower and I don't want them to think, "She lives in MA now; it should be here. Why should we have to keep going to NJ?" Two separate showers would be easier on my friends, but more difficult on the hosts.
I know if it's important enough people will come no matter where it is. I told my sister to work it out with my SIL, but she really wants to know what I would prefer. So, what would GPM do???

We did something similar to this for my SIL when she and my bro got married. Wedding was in Hershey, PA as that is where they live. Two of the bridesmaids were from that area and hosted their own smaller bridal shower for SIL out there with all of the people that live out there. Myself and the MOH hosted one here in Pittsburgh for bro and SIL's families who are out here. Everyone was happy with how it all turned out and SIL had a blast.

I would do two showers. it will allow more people to celebrate baby with you and will be less overwhelming!
I honestly don't think doing two different showers is a big deal.
I'll have two, one with my Ohio family and one here on the east coast.
