Are family children usually invited to a baby shower?

[curiousll]

Just that really.
Child is 4, it's her aunts baby shower, being hosted at childs Nans house. It's an afternoon tea sort of thing. We're a close family.

(My gut is that a baby shower is a family friendly occasion and I had children at mine, but I also think weddings are family friendly occasions which I know others don't!)

Depends on the host really, I’ve been to some where children aren’t invited or expected and one where the host didn’t mind. More often than not I’d say no though.

No not unless specifically invited

No, I don’t think so. It’s for the woman and her female friends, plus mum/sisters. I’ve only been to one, though.

Generally, no.

But obviously depends on the individual and what they want.

Could go either way. What did the person who invited you say? If unclear ask child's Aunt and Nan what suits.

If it was a baby then I would assume they could come, but older than that I would presume not. Assume the 4 year old would get bored if there are no other children about.

All the ones I've been to were adults only celebrations

Totally depends on the family/friends so I expect there isn't a 'usual'.

No, not unless they’re tiny babies.

Thanks all, seems like the consensus is no unless specified otherwise.

The ones I've been to had small children but not older ones
