Feel like I'm being selfish about kids at Bridal Shower

My bridal shower is Saturday which I have been very excited about. It's going to be at my moms house, well I found out last night that there are going to be 6 kids there... My aunt and cousin from TN do not have a babysitter so if they come they have to bring the kids and then my other cousin has to...

My bridal shower is Saturday which I have been very excited about. It's going to be at my moms house, well I found out last night that there are going to be 6 kids there... My aunt and cousin from TN do not have a babysitter so if they come they have to bring the kids and then my other cousin has to bring her daughter as well... Well now my step sister is bringing her two sons I'm assuming she feels since there are already going to be kids there it's okay for her to bring hers.

I do not have kids but love them dearly but my moms house is already small so you throw 4 boys under the age of 5 It's not going to be smooth running and it's not like it's warm were they can play outside.

Is it wrong to have my mom tell my step sister that she shouldn't bring the kids "just because" there are other kids that HAVE to be there for their moms to come from out of town?

    Typically, wherever there are is a gathering of women, like a shower, children are welcome. I have been to a shower with young children- like infant/toddler age. I've never been to a shower where the kids are old enough to really run around and I agree that would be really distracting. They will be SO bored and unless they're like a rec room where they can really remove themselves to, I don't think its appropriate. Can't the Dads take them for a few hours?? Even the cousins coming from out of town??
