" A woman you know well from the PTO (parents-teachers organization) is having a baby, and you accidentally discovered that several women arranged a baby shower for her this weekend. Unfortunately, you weren&amp;#039;t invited -- and you&amp;#039;d like to give your friend a gift. What should you do?  1) Bring a gift for her newborn to your next PTO meeting or bring one to her home. 2) Ask to be invited. Maybe someone just forgot to put your name on the guest list. 3) Say nothing, give nothing. The correct answer: (1) While you may enjoy attending your friend&amp;#039;s shower, you can&amp;#039;t ask for an invitation. But it is fine to give the expectant mom a gift. Do it discreetly at the next PTO function or drop the gift off at her house. Don&amp;#039;t feel slighted. There may be valid reasons why you haven&amp;#039;t been invited to the party. A shower invitation carries the obligation of a gift, so the get-together is usually limited to close friends and family. Or, it may have been an honest oversight that you&amp;#039;ll have to accept.
