Etiquette Question

My SIL asked if she could help out with my sister's baby shower at the beg of Feb. They're not that close, and we're all family...but I don't want my SIL to feel obligated to pay for anything I buy for my sister's shower.

So, my question is this...would you include SIL name on the invitation in the area "hosted by" or not include it and take the help where you need it (ie: food prep, decor prep, etc) since she offered?

Re: Etiquette Question

  • I don't think she expects to be included in the 'hosted by' category....at least I wouldn't.  I would leave the name off and take help wherever you need it.  At the last minute some extra hands prepping food, getting bags or games ready, decorating, etc might come in handy!
  • I would assume that "help out" means just setting stuff up, decorating, etc. - or at least, that's the phrasing I'd use if that's what I meant (if I wanted to pay, I'd ask if I could help "host"). So I think you're probably safe to leave her off the list, as long as she doesn't contribute any $$$. Smile
