So my brother in law & his wife are getting a divorce; she left him with absolutely nothing. Emptied his bank account, took the car, and kicked him out of the house. My SO and i will be helping him out by sending him money, which will take over the extra money we were going to use for the shower. It was supposed to be in 2 weeks, and we dont have anything anyways. It sucks but he needs it more than we do.

That is very generous of you to help him out. It's too bad you have to cancel your party. can someone else throw you the shower?

My mil offered, but she too will be helping him get back on his feet. Plus, she usually asks us to borrow money so i dont want anyone to stress about finances when this isnt a "need", kwim?

I know what you mean. Just too bad for you. Is this your first baby?

Maybe you can have a Meet the Baby party a month or two after the birth? That would give you time for things to (hopefully) settle down and maybe save some money for it. Sorry. :( That's disappointing.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe someone can help you out by throwing it? Even if it's not something extravagant the important thing is to have everyone together to celebrate baby and to help you out by getting you some stuff for baby :)

Wow you are so sweet. Your brother in law is lucky. I'm sorry about the shower, maybe after the baby is born.

Yeah i know. My SO feels awful, he does not want me to cancel bc we have been saving since we found out what we are having. But given the money and situation we are in, it probably wouldnt be the same anyways. Yes, it is our first.

You could still have a cheap or no expenses shower. Even just a potluck. It doesn't have to cost you a lot to have a party.

That sounds like it could work. My SO still wants to do a little something but with everything going on i dont think its the right time. I know he just wants to do it so im not upset but honestly its not a big deal to me. Maybe after birth we can do a coming home dinner for all to meet baby.

I will probably do what a pp suggested, have a welcome home party. I dont anyone to spend money on me, its just about a celebration for the arrival of baby.
