    My first baby shower didn't happen... Second time lucky?

    EDIT: Thanks everyone for your help with my initial problem, mind helping me with some more planning?

    Okay, yes, before you all say anything, I know my baby shower is ages away and it's too early to think about. Well, tough, I'm thinking about it because I'm bored and I like planning parties

    The baby shower when I was pregnant with Ianto was meant to be on the 13th of March - obviously that didn't go ahead. I'm kinda aiming to have Cookie's shower around the end of January (it feels like all of February should be kept away for Ianto) so I'll be about 33 weeks. Oh geez, I didn't think of that - 33 weeks... I never got to 33 with him...

    In my weird, round about way, what I'm trying to say is, how should I word the invitations? I would like to acknowledge that my first didn't go ahead, and why, but would that be too morbid? The black humourist in me wants to say something along the lines of "Teni's baby shower, Take Two..." but the logical part of me knows my extended family would kill me for it

    On the other hand, I don't want the invitations to be too happy either - They'll all think I've lost my mind and forgotten about Ianto... UGH! I hate having to think about what my stupid aunties think of me! If it wasn't for the fact they'll all be bringing me wonderful presents I wouldn't freaking invite them at all! (Yes, I know, I am a horrible person. But the only women I actually 100% like in my family are my Mum and my Nan... and as I typed that I remembered my Nan died two months ago so now I feel even more horrible )

    Wow, this post did not start off as a rant. I just wanted someone to help with the invitations
