Invited to 2 showers

I have been invited to two showers for the same person. She is my former student. What should I do?

Re: Invited to 2 showers

  • Accept one invitation and attend that one with a gift, or decline both.
  • Decide if you want to attend her wedding events or not. Decide if you want to attend one or two showers. If you pick one, decide which shower is most convenient for you. RSVP yes to that shower, and no to the other. 
  • It really is simple. You are not obligated to attend both or any of the showers, just as you are not obligated to attend the wedding. If it were me, I'd probably only attend one shower and bring one gift for that. No need to send a second gift just because you were invited to two showers.
  • Exactly as above - accept one, decline the other.

  • Often times showers are hosted by people in different circles (friends, family, coworkers, etc.), so it is entirely likely that the people hosting the shower have no idea you have been invited to both.  I agree with the comments above- no need to feel obligated to attend both.
