I'm just going to stop asking

And worrying. I told my mom about SIL making my shower cake, so my mom said she'd call MIL and offer to chip in with some of the costs like buying the cake from a super great bakery nearby. (Totally her idea, I did not instigate this). She called and MIL said "oh that's ok! SIL is going to make the cake!" Apparently they bought some molds and stuff. She also mentioned how SIL made my birthday cake. Ok, A) it's not like we had a big party and B) they showed up with it Sunday night at 8pm while I was on in my pj's. Not exactly the same thing. But ok, whatever. I will show up, have a good time, eat cake and be happy.

Question for moms who've had showers: were they in line with your nursery theme or just kind of random? MIL is apparently doing a duck theme, which is kind of out of nowhere. For my other shower they're doing our colors and "french" stuff (although I have no clue what that would include!). I guess it'll make it more interesting than having two identical showers though. 

Please just tell me to shut up and snap out of it.

Re: I'm just going to stop asking

  • Yes, stop worrying. I think you should just let them throw you a party, show up, and enjoy it. Open gifts, eat cake - who cares what it looks like? What matters is how it tastes. Smile 

    We had two showers. Neither were in our theme (safari) - just blue and baby things.

  • I didn't even have a cake at either of my 2 showers and I was totally fine with it. I'm not really a cake person anyways. Neither shower had a theme, it was just a lot of pink!!! I loved it though! Honestly, I had no hand in either shower and I loved just showing up and enjoying my friends and family. I know it's hard, but my advice would be to step away and let them handle everything. Then just show up and enjoy :) you'll have a great time and a great shower!!!

  • Ditto them.  I'm butting in as a non-mom, but I'll say that my nephew's room is all jungle and mom & I threw her a teddy bear shower.  I baked the two cakes myself, and made the teddy bear chocolate lollipops as favors.
  • ITA with the others. Stop worrying.

    Your mom and you can go get cake together when she is there.

    Just enjoy.

  • At least you can eat the cake at your shower.  I had three showers and not a single one made a gluten free cake that I could eat. I didn't let it bother me.  I still had a great time.  Two of the showers used our colors: green, blue, and orange since we didn't really have a theme.  Just enjoy!

    Yes-that is sad.

    Ali-Stop worrying and just enjoy the day!  The last thing you will need to your water breaking over stressing about your cake or theme.

    My shower didn't have a theme at all.  They just had pretty flowers.  My mom did have all food dishes that I liked, but had nothing in regards to my nursery theme.  I think sometimes girl showers a little more themed vs boy showers, since females love to go all pinked out.
