I think I have to agree with the PPs here.? I understand how you might feel like an afterthought to your DH's family -?and I'm assuming that you've felt this way for awhile (and it's not only because they won't drive 3 hours for your baby shower) - and that's really unfortunate.
Although DH's immediate family lives close, his extended family all live.. you guessed it... three hours away.? Although my SILs sent-out invites for my baby shower anyway so nobody thought they were being snubbed, we all knew they weren't going to come, and they didn't.? No gifts were mailed, no cards were sent.?? But I wasn't expecting any of that, so to me, it was no big deal.? I get why someone wouldn't want to spend 6 hours in the car driving, only to spend 2 or 3 hours at a baby shower.
It sounds like you've already put yourself in their shoes (re: not wanting to drive 3 hours one way), so I think you might want to give them a free pass this time around, and not overthink it or take it as a snub. Who knows, maybe the ones not attending will send their gifts (and their regrets) along with the MIL.? Not that presents are the be-all end-all, but it would go to show that they cared enough to put forth that effort, y'know?
