What do I wear to a baby shower?
I am invited to a baby shower and this is my very first one.
It is at 12 0'clock and at crown plaza hotel.
The thing is I am an Indian and I am not very comfortable wearing dresses and all....I was just wondering if I could wear my own sari or like a dressy pant with a top?
The people hosting the baby shower are my husband's friends and they are Americans...
I am in a huge confusion...what do I do?

I think you should wear casual clothes that looks a little smart. Long trousers and a cute shirt shuld do it. Nothing that makes the person whose pregnant think "i am not going to be able to look like that for a long time" lol ^_^ Good luck

Do just what you said you would like to wear. Comfort is the word.

I’m wearing a black and white print top and black pants, if I get to the store to get some. (I’m not thrilled with dresses either. They’re not comfortable.) If you wouldn’t be uncomfortable among the people at the shower wearing your sari, wear it.

Yes, wear your own style! Dresses are acceptable, not necessary, so I think dressy pants with a nice top are suitable. Don’t feel like you have to impress anyone. Most people will be focusing on the mother-to-be. Just relax and have fun!

My vote is a dressy pant with a top. Nice, clean and simple.
Now relax and enjoy! You will have fun!

wear what YOU feel comfortable in, and is still respectful to them (meaning not jeans if they are dressing up) I say go with the Sari..they are beautiful.

casual top, pants, shoes. or anything casual. Nothing flashy, after all you aren’t the one they are going to see, it’s the one they are going to have a baby shower for.

Just wear what you are comfortable with. Not bummy blue jeans, just something nice. It doesnt need to be a dress, Either your sari is fine or nice dress pants and a blouse or sweater if it is cooler weather. Don’t be intimidated that they are all Americans, Most of us are nice.

We American usually do not wear dresses to Baby showers . It is not the style we worry about it is the color . If it is a girl we try and wear pink , purple , yellow , mint green . If it is a boy it is baby blue , yellow , tan . Good Luck !

You don’t need to wear a dress to a baby shower. Comfortable dressy pants with a top would be perfect for a baby shower. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with wearing your sari either, I think they are beautiful.

I also think you should wear what you feel comfortable in. There are some beautiful sari’s and I’ve seen them worn at all different kinds of functions. If you would feel more comfortable in a dressy pant with top than do that..it’s not necessary that you wear a dress.
Cheers !

Since the shower is being held at the Crown Plaza, that means it porbably is a dress up affair. Wear something nice. You don’t have to dress like an American if you don’t want to. Wear whatever you would wear for a nice, dressed-up look in your own country. Poeple do not expect you to change who you are. Anyway, there probably will be some American ladies there wearing a nice pants and top.

Wear what makes you comfortable, if you want to wear your sari then wear it, or go for the dressy pants & top….If you are used to wearing your sari, then I would say wear that. Just becuase you are going to be around another race dosen’t mean you should try to be like them just to fit in.
You wear the clothes the clothes don’t wear you!!
Have fun…

I’ve got one this Saturday, too. I’m wearing nice, dark wash jeans and a pretty top. Uh, and boots.
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Most Americans love sari’s. We find them beautiful and fascinating and wished we could get away with wearing them without looking silly. Personally, I am obsessed with bright colors and things that are sparkly. My mother calls me a magpie.

I think your best/favorite sari would be just fine.
Do you live in America? Well aren’t you an American too?
I understand what you mean, they are not of the Indian culture, right? Well, neither am I but I would prefer that my friends be comfortable and be themselves. Hopefully your friend is the same.
If it is still a concern and you are worried that it may be awkward then you could do dress pants and a top- there’s no "rule book" that says you have to wear a dress to a baby shower.
Do you have some nice sandals and some linen or thin, khaki pants? You could wear a light, short sleeved sweater with spring colors or designs on it. Put your hair up and wear accessories to accompany your outfit.
You could also wear nice dress pants, dressy shoes, a cami-type top with a coordinating shirt to go over it.
A nice springy outfit similar to this:

Or something like this:

But with less cleavage- a more conservative top would be better.
No no no! Wear a sari! I just spent some time looking over them here:

How beautiful and elegant!!!!
Have a good time.

Dressy pants and a top is just fine. You aren’t required to wear a dress, just make sure you look nice.
May 1st, 2010 at 7:19 am
You should wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing. I would some people don’t have the money to go outb and buy an outfit or something for every special event. I always say come as you are like what they say at church. Lol

A nice pair of dressy black pants with a top is classic! Go for it. Have fun and be yourself. You’d be surprised at just how informal these showers are. Nowadays, anything goes in terms of dress, providing you are clean and fresh looking. You will look lovely!!!! Just the fact that you care enough to ask, tells me a lot about who you are…and you sound very classy. Enjoy!
One more thing… Just in case you do not know this…for etiquette, you might want to ask if the mother of the bride is registered or not. That means they registered for baby gifts at a store like The Bay, Canes, etc. People usually register for all different priced items. The very expensive ones are usually for those like the Grandmother of the baby, and aunts to buy.

you do not need to wear a dress to a baby shower. i just had a baby shower for my sister in law and most of the guests came in jeans. you can wear your sari, or pants and a top, whatever is most comfortable for you.
