I don't what I was thinking volunteering to help host the baby shower. We have it planned for the weekend after my wedding. So basically I'm getting married, leaving for honeymoon, coming back from honeymoon on Saturday, going to baby shower Sunday. I really don't know what made me think I could handle all that in a two week time period. We chose to have the baby shower so soon since they already have the baby and they are going to need the stuff ASAP. At least the shower isn't at my house. That would have been way too much.

    At least it sounds like you're co-hosting, and not taking it all on yourself. I'm sure the other host(s) will completely understand if you can't help out as much as you would have liked.

    I just threw a shower.. Seriously, my best advice is to keep it simple. People love the basics- deli sandwiches, cheese & crackers, chip & dip, veggies. All stuff you can buy at the grocery store. It's worth the money to save the headache.

    PPs are right.  Keep it minimal, and delegate!  Let your friend know that you wish you could do it all, but unfortunately you don't have a lot of time to devote to it (for example, I'm not sure that it would be a great idea for you to be running around Sunday morning after arriving home Saturday trying to organize food).  Look for things that you can complete and drop off before the wedding, maybe decorations or something, or things that can be done remotely.

    Good luck!  Please let us know how it goes.

    Hopefully the other hosts know about your time restraints and you can be in charge of things like setting up and decorating instead of things that need to be planned in advance?
