Ultimately this is about you having as many guest as possible so that you can get as many baby items as you can so you guys can save some money so what ever location allows that I say go with that. May be explaining it to your boyfriend from a financial stand point will change his mind. Good luck.
I would have to go with the more comfortable location.... and try to get him to work with me.
I've tried and he is not budging. His mom is looking forward to it being at her house. My mom feeling was crushed she not even involved..and I'm getting over whelmed cause I don't want to hurt any ones feeling.. But I don't what to be at party where I know no one..and my bf won't even be there for.
I think you should try and tall to your bf again about letting the other women throw it for you.
