Baby shower delima .HELP!?

My friend is throwing me a rather nice baby shower sending out very cute invites through mail and also a reminder email :) (im very lucky) I live in the same area as my IN LAWS only 39 miles apart( 5 SIL and a MIL) they all hate me and are not even on speaking terms with me now for 4 months. They will only tlak to my hubby and ignore me completely. (they said im white trash because i had alcohol at our wedding and said a lot of other nasty things) My friend knows how akward things are with them and how rude they have been so she didnt invite them to the baby shower (but sent my mom one in CO. just so she could feel part of it even though she cant b here) My question is since i have nothing to do with putting the shower on.do i have to invite the in laws? If they came it would really suck for me as they are rude . ...but i dont want to be rude back.

Or is it acceptable to keep the baby shower a secret and just let them send a gift or bring it to the hospital themselves??

Answer:
a baby shower should be a stress free time for the mother, thats why other people organize it. they know they have been jerks to you. they wont be surprised they werent invited. you have no obligations to be surrounded by ppl who upset u in your delicate condition. and u are correct.YOU are not the one iniviting ppl so the responsibility does not lie with you. sit back and relax mama! good luck and congrats!
Wow...what other things besides the wedding conflict caused these kinds of problems? I'm a white girl married into a central american family and it's hard sometimes for them to understand my american girl way lol..but i've never not been on speaking terms with my in-laws. They made the greatest man I've ever known. Anyhoo.all that aside it is your decision darlin. If you aren't getting along with someone then they shouldn't have an opportunity to ruin "your" day
Sorry to hear that about ur inlaws, but everybody is different and they all their own little way of thinking, i think u shouldn't worry about them and leave them out, I know it sounds mean but they're asking for it, they have no right to judge u, and as long as ur husband loves u and is by ur side none of them matter (I would love to know what they would think about me if they knew how drunk i got on my wedding), That was ur day and u deserved to have fun... Now about the baby shower don't bother with them, u didn't do anything wrong to them for them to be this way, and just like ur wedding this is also ur and ur baby's day, don't let anyone ruin it for u, Who do they think they are?
