Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Second baby shower

I'm not planning on having a second baby shower - I just had two awesome showers thrown for me last year (plus a bridal shower the year before that!), and I would hate to ask my friends and family to give me even more. I get the point about celebrating each baby etc etc, but I personally am just not interested.

Yesterday my SIL was talking about her older sister's wedding and how excited everyone is, and she mentioned how they should TOTALLY throw me a baby shower while we're home for the festivities!! I ignored the fact that I would rather die than take the spotlight off of my SIL who is getting married, and just said that it was so sweet of her to think of it, but I didn't want a shower this time around.

Her response:

"Don't you want free gifts??"

Priceless. I love teenagers Stick out tongue

Re: Second baby shower

  • yikes. I have a friend who just had her 4th baby, 2nd girl and had yet another shower. I think it's tacky. I was asked if anyone was throwing a shower for me and I said I did not want one.

    Do you mean because I had two last year? They were both pretty small (one for each side of the family), and people mostly just gave us clothes :)

  • LOL.

    I gotta say, I'd love to have some sort of "no gifts" shower for baby 2. I just love parties and having people over...but I wouldn't lobby for anything like that, you know.

    I've thought the same thing - but it's something I'd want to do with friends. If we all still lived in the same place I think it'd be so fun to just go out to dinner one night and have cake. Any excuse for cake, really Cake

  • My bff is expecting #2 in October and it's a boy.  A few of her friends said they wanted to throw her a shower as well.  She is having a boy and her first is also a boy...they will be exactly 2 years apart...soooo IMO NO NEED for a shower.  I felt bad though because I didn't throw her first one and told her flat out 2nd baby showers are tacky if they kids are really close in age and the same gender. 

    She wants to have a "Spa" day for her shower, I'd rather make it about her this time around.
