So what do you do when....

someone you are pretty close with wasn't invited to your baby shower?

My family threw me a surprise baby shower this past weekend.

I didn't have anything to do with the planning of it. This is baby #2 and to be honest I wasn't sure if they were going to do anything or not.

So we had the shower on Sunday and it was great. Apparently my DH went through my email account and cellphone in order to get everyone's contact info to invite them.

And he left out a good friend, and someone who is part of the group of women that I am most close with right now in my life.

I was wondering during the shower why she wasn't there but it was such a busy day. Today I asked my sister what happened with her...and my sister said she didn't invite her because she didn't know to invite her!

And now I feel so bad that she wasn't invited and everyone else from our group was and was there...

Not sure what I should do from here...do I say something to her and apologize?

Re: So what do you do when....

I think it was an honest mistake on their part, so I would definitely call her to apologize and explain I can imagine she knows about the shower and she is probably a little hurt by it.

I totally agree, I would do this.

Re: So what do you do when....

I completely agree w/the other ladies advice. I had a sort of related situation with my Bridal shower. My Aunts weren't invited to my shower but their daughters were. My background story is different b/c my father's wife didn't think I should have a shower so she chose not to invite any of my older female family members. I was hurt and humiliated. I made my father apologize to my Aunts and explain why they were left off the list. Since, in your case, this was not a malicious act but an honest mistake, I think just dropping a call and explaining the situation is a very sweet thing to do.
