Dear Queenie,
Someone I know who is expecting a baby is having four different baby showers held for her.
Queenie, isn’t that a bit too much?—Just wondering
Dear Wondering,
Well, it all depends.
If the same people are invited to more than one shower, that seems just plain gift-greedy.
If each shower has a different guest list, I have to wonder whether she really has so many close friends and relatives, or if the hosts are just inviting everyone they can think of who might ever have met the mother-to-be, which again seems just plain gift-greedy.
Whatever the case, if you have been invited to more than one such event, feel free to accept one invitation and decline the rest – without comment, please, unless you want to start an argument.
