My friend wants to throw me a baby shower. My baby is due Feb 1 so figuring out when to have a baby shower has been difficult. She wants to do it mid November when I am 28/29 weeks. December is a hard month to do one since obviously there's Christmas but we also (in my immediate family) have 3 Birthdays and our Anniversary. January I think is too close to my due date. So, what do you think?? Is 28/29 weeks too early for a baby shower?? (This is my last baby and my friend wants to do a big hoopla since I never had a baby shower with my first two.)

I'm having my first shower at 25 weeks.
I didn't particularly want it that early, but it was pretty much my only option for a shower in my hometown, which is 12 hours away from where I currently live. We had to schedule it around several other events, and since I'll already be in town anyway, it worked out perfectly. I really didn't want to make another trip later in my pregnancy!
I think 28/29 weeks is fine, particularly considering the holiday season.
I had my ONLY shower at 29w and soo glad I did. I felt horrible after I reached my 30's and DD was born via c/s at 37w. You NEVER know when they'll come out.
Plus you can organize for when DC gets here!! I'd say the earlier the better!!
I am having mine in mid Nov (I am thinking the 14th) so that it is before Christmas and Thanksgiving rushes, and gives us time to set everything up, then figure out what else we need (and can get as christmas gifts or use the cash we get).
?
I will be about 33 weeks when I hope to have it.

My mom doesn't want to do it any earlier... because she thinks it's too early... and I think the timing will be good for everyone I'd like to invite.
?
We plan to set up the room over Thanksgiving weekend, and more over Christmas break (we are both teachers) so having it the first or second weekend of Nov sounds good to me!
?
So I think the timing is good as far as working around holidays, and really, I doubt it's too early. ?
