Baby shower guests

My sisters planning my baby shower and has asked me who I'd like to invite.

My fiancés friend has had a girlfriend now for almost a year. I've met her a handful of times and not the biggest fan. Every time I've seen her she's never asked how I am, and I always find it difficult to make conversation with her. I feel a bit pressured to invite her as my best friend invited the friends girlfriend to hers.

What would you do?

I think baby showers are lovely. Nice to make a fuss of a mum to be. I hope you enjoy it OP.

Only invite people you feel comfortable with; who you can be yourself around; who you might want to be involved in baby’s life!

If you wouldn’t enjoy them being there, that is more than enough of a reason

Thank you

@dec20 difficult one, id say don't invite her if you don't know her that well & dislike her. Id only invite close friends and family to my baby shower.

Just let her go.
Maybe she's misunderstood! Have you ever asked her how she is?

Constantly asking her questions to get to know her and her responses are always one sided! 🙈

Your best friend invited her to her baby shower... again what's that got to do with you? Just don't invite her!

I don't get it, what does your best friend inviting the guys girlfriend to her house, have to do with the guest list for the baby shower your sister is organising for you? She's not a friend, and most people don't like baby showers anyway so just don't invite her.

No my best friend invited her to her baby shower! I don't want to upset anyone but wouldn't enjoy her being there Blush
