etiquette for baby shower invitations?

missmaggie · #1 (**permalink**) 04-22-2008, 03:20 AM

I am due in August, and my mother and her friends want to throw me a baby shower in July. They want me to email them a list of my husband's relatives to invite them. For the most part, he has a great family. However, his mother is not welcome. She is no longer married to my husband's father (who I am planning to invite), but they do keep in touch. She is the type of person that would show up to my shower just to ruin it, and I am scared that she will learn about it.
So my question is, how can I put (nicely) somewhere in the shower invitation that the list is exclusive, and please no one uninvited show up? You know, without sounding like a witch. I dont want to bring her name up and single her out, because I feel like that would definately make me look like a witch.
And I'm not trying to look like her.
