Baby shower

[Eatsleepbakerepeat]

This might turn out to be a pointless post as covid might have bigger plans but as it stands my family are organising me a little baby shower with close friends and im in a debate on if I invite the MIL SIL and GIL
Like I've said covid might stop all this anyway and they currently live in a lockdown area so would be unable to come anyway however if lockdown is lifted I dont know what to do
We don't have the best relationship theres been a lot of things said over the years and I feel like I'm always waiting for them to make a drama when theyre around, I've chatted to my husband and he's not even sure on what we should do cos we don't want to cause any drama but at the same time want to enjoy our day
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

It invite them... It's still their grandchild/niece.

My baby shower got planned so my family could be there... except my mum. Considering I'd said I didn't want one, one had been planned, and they'd left my mum out because the people planning didn't want her there. Very rude imo

Could you do two separate events? Maybe a baby shower close to home then go and visit them and take them for a 'special celebration' afternoon tea or something once their lockdown is over? I would personally not invite them if I didn't want them there so that I could enjoy the day and relax... xx

@LoveSunshine01 me and my partner discussed this maybe going over to their garden if their lockdown is lifted in time and then they can invite who they want
Cos the other thing was the 3 of them wouldn't be enough theyd want other people which we don't want its only a small shower
Its so hard trying to please everyone
But were trying to make sure we're happy which seems really selfish but I dont want to regret things :/ :(

If your relationship isn't great then I would think not inviting them is likely to make it worse? I would invite them but still go ahead of their local lockdown prevents them attending. You can then arrange something different with them. I think though that the initial invitation would be thoughtful. Also remember the invitation should come from the host of the baby shower, so your mum or sister or whoever is organising it for you, and not you.
