The truth really, I'd just try to avoid saying that you've chosen between the two requests and not chosen her. Maybe you could also say to her that she should consider herself asked to make the gown for any next child you have.<br><b>References : </b><br> I would be really apologetic to your husband’s mother – tell her you are embarrassed, you wish you could have two, but you already told your mother she could make it and could she make a bonnet instead?

And lucky grandbaby too! Maybe ask your Mother-in-law for a bonnet and a jacket if the weather is going to be cool. Perhaps they can coordinate by using the same fabric for all three. (My daughter-in-law saved the fabric cut off of her wedding gown for the baptismal gown.)<br><b>References : </b><br> Lucky you!! And lucky grandbaby too!

I know how you feel.. Theres this lady at my church who before Marsyas was even born she designated herself to make his baptismal outfit. I wasn't too enthused because I wanted him to wear the one my brother wore when he was baptised. Just to be polite though I let her make it :(<br><b>References : </b><br> You should see if they can get together and figure something out. I know how you feel..
