*shrug* So the evil MIL doesn't come? Big whoop! Sounds like it will be a better party for it! ;-) Have your party. If she doesn't like it, she can have her own, too! (Though from the sounds of her, she'll plan it for the same day and invite the same people!)

MIL needs to grow up! She got to do all the wedding stuff without interference from you... you do this baby shower the way you want to, and if she doesn't come, oh well, her loss.

What does your daughter say about this? Does she agree with her husband about having it at the park?

This is a family event because it was planned that way from the start! Her mil said she would shop after shower as to avoid double gifts? Why then did we do a registry? And she got her feelings hurt because I took my daughter to register for her baby shower! If baby is a girl she will be named Andalynne May. MIL will call her Butterfly cuz she doesnt like the name.
She is having issues with her mil so bad that I told DD ," The worst fights you will ever have with your dh will be because of mil!"

One minute she agrees with me then she goes and agrees with him? I told her last night that i will mail invites if noone shows up its on them! With my guest list alone we are at 44 people! And yes I involved DD in making that list. Most are close family or friends that she wants invited! Doing a diaper Raffle. You bring diapers , enter name in drawing for a big prize. I cant wait i am doing Winnie the Pooh theme. Terra cotta planters made into hunny jars with Bit o honey candy in them on each table! So much planned!

I can kind of agree with the MIL getting gifts AFTER the party. People get caught up in the "oh it's so cute" thing and forget the necessities that babies need. (DIAPERS! BABY POWDER! Splash guards!)

I say have it at your house, let the mil be the bad apple on the tree.

Sounds like you are doing an awsome job!!!
Just give her a wonderful baby shower and don't worry about MIL. Its a wonderful time for mothers and daughters to bond when the daughter is pregnant. Just be there for her and love her. Everything will work itself out. Blessing to your family and the new arrival!!!

Oh good grief. She is an adult. If she doesn't like you and won't come to your house, then that is less food to serve if you ask me. Tell her to put on her big girl panties and shut up.
