Whilst I agree, it's a baby shower. For my own son's baby shower, I was informed I was not required, and I spent a rather nice weekend in London having a night out and then watching the NFL at the Tottenham Stadium.

You'll be there for their birthdays, Xmas and Easter but they can get lost if they think you'll be doing baby showers, Halloween or Thanksgiving...and no you don't care if the Broncos or the Cowboys win the Super Bowl.
