Sorry, but this isn't your party -- even the guest of honor is only a guest. It's not appropriate for guests to ask to bring guests of their own. It gives the appearance that you want to treat your friends to a party, but at someone else's expense. Celebrate with these friends at some other time.

Well you should tell them that you know and then invite the people that you want to have there. It would hurt them, I believe if your friends just showed up, uninvited, then they will know that you know. Let them know that the idea of making it a surprise was a good one but you would rather be open and honest and have everyone come and celebrate this moment with and if this is your first child, then tell them and help them cook for the, that's what I did when I found out about the one that my friends in college were throwing and they were way cool with that.

Why would they throw you a surprise shower? You obviously will have to have one? I would just tell them you know and give them a list of people you want to invite.

Absolutely never send out invitations for a surprise party that is being thrown for you! Graciously act surprised and allow your relatives to have the party for you. Then go and see your friends at another time.

Just tell them "You know, if someone threw a baby shower for me I would really like these people to go"
