Baby Shower Question

BathingInBitter

I'm struggling with a decision and thought you ladies might have some input. Sadly, the plans for my baby shower have been nothing but drama from the get go. 2 of my friends offered to put it together and then ended up backing out because they couldn't get along.

Then my BFF, D, from HS said that she would throw me a shower, but she lives 400 miles away. So, I did a lot of it myself as in finding a place to have it, ordering the food and drinks and sending out the invites. And another one of my girlfriends, A, ordered the cake. I paid for the invites, D is paying for the food and A paid for the cake.

So, here is my question - would you give D and A a gift of thanks for their part or no? I really don't know what to do. I know this is not the "normal" baby shower happening as the Mom is just supposed to show up - but that wasn't the case here.

HELP!
