I live in a suburb of a large metropolitan city. In August, I had a shower on the South side of the city and invited mostly family members and my friend who lived on that side of town. In a few weeks I will be having a shower on the North side of the city and am planning on inviting my friends who live on the North side. Should I also invite family who came to the first shower or not? I would **** for anyone to feel left out or unappreciated but I also don’t want them to think I am looking for another gift. What is the proper etiquette?

Nobody that was at the first shower should be invited to your second! Who’s going to feel left out? I **** going to these stupid showers anyway! Anyone missed can bring a gift when they come see the baby, and that’s better than being expected to bring a second gift!

If it’s only one or two repeat guests, I would call and say you’d like for them to be there and be included, but to please not bring another gift. The first one was much appreciated.

I would say that it would be inappropriate to invite guests to a 2nd baby shower. If I were invited to 2 different ones, I would assume that the Mom was looking for another gift, or hinting around that my gift was crap.
