2nd Shower...2nd registry?

I had a two part question and I found the first answer from a post on March 11. I am expecting baby #2 and I was not sure about a 2nd shower. My girl group is throwing it, and we threw one for one of those ladies second (diaper shower anyway), but I was still feeling a little weird about it. What I learned from the 3/11 post was that it depends on where you live, and here in my circle, it is what we do.

Now, 2nd part is about the registry. There are things that we do/will need as our LOs will only be 15 months apart so DD is still using some stuff and we need seconds. For example, another highchair, double stroller, etc. Is it bad taste to create another registry for baby #2 (or I guess I could use the old registry that is bound to still be active and change the deets)? I go to want to start one and then I stop...

Thoughts/opinions?

Re: 2nd Shower...2nd registry?

  • I kindly won't touch upon the first part of your question because I think that has been beaten to death (and it sounds like you already know the answer) but as for a second registry, I made one for #2 but kept it private. I really only did it for the completion discount but if there were really close friends or family who asked what they could get me I would let them know about the registry. Otherwise I was just grateful for getting any gifts at all for #2.

  • I think you know better than us what is acceptable in your social circle, however, I would say don't do one. I think even if second showers are common in your area, they typically aren't on the scale of a first shower. Smaller gifts seem more appropriate. As PP said, I think it's fine to make a private one for yourself.

  • Around here, we call them baby sprinkles for 2nd babies. For those, we only purchase small items like diapers or clothes. We don't get larger gifts and the mamas don't have registries. It's more of a gathering to say hey congrats-- never on the same scale as a first baby shower.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
  • I've heard of a sprinkle for #2 but I personally wouldn't register for my second baby. At the sprinkles I've attended friends just chipped in and got the mama a few things. It was more of celebration for the mom than a gift party

    This is my third baby and my husbands first so my mom is throwing us a shower. We however plan on doing a diaper shower, more relaxed. We're doing a co Ed bbq type thing so husband is involved. I personally don't like being center of attention so this will help.

    No matter how many children you have, sex
    Of the baby or how many things you still have, if someone wants to throw you a baby shower that's awesome!!!! Celebration of life is a wonderful thing. do a registry! Every little bit helps :)

  • If your friends are throwing you a shower then I think you should register.
