Feb mommies - Baby shower?

jellybean210 · August 2009

I am soo looking forward to my babyshower! I still have quite a while to go before it's time though. I was just wondering, when is a good time for a shower? I want to have enough time to get things organized and be able to return/exchange things if necessary, so I would rather not have the shower in Feb. Then if you think about it, Jan is right after the holidays (can't ask people to spend money on baby right after Christmas, besides baby's family on the father's side have a couple weddings, and bridal shower, and some other things like that going on) Dec is Christmas, and Nov, would that be too soon? At that point I will only be 6 months along and probably not showing too too much so games like "how big is belly" wont be too interesting. I was thinking at the lastest I could do EARLY Feb, but my mom's bday is Jan 31,so that's a bit close. So I am just not sure when this could happen. Any ideas would be great!! Thanks!

I am going in January for mine. After the holiday mess.

We're doing mine Nov. 14. I'll be just over 28 weeks so I'll at least be in the third tri.

im doing mine in november before all the holidays and that way i have enough time to set up and prepare before i get too big and dont want to do any of it

January would make the most sense for you. November would be crazy early (mine will likely be Nov. and that will even be a touch on the early side and I'm due early Jan.). Paying for a baby gift post-Christmas is no more painful than pre-Christmas.

This won't apply to you other than it might help you worry less about having one too soon, but...

I'm actually having mine in October due to some interesting family circumstances. It is going to be very very early, but I can't do anything about it. I'm excited that we'll have more time to get the stuff we still need.

I think we're going with close to Christmas, it sucks and all but it's 3 hours max. That's not to bad for my good friends. My really good friend is due in November and I wouldn't want her to miss it especially since she wants to co host it.

I am having mine in November as well. I will be about 27 weeks so at least in 3rd tri and probably showing quite a bit. I just don't want one close to Christmas and after Christmas people want to relax. and I am do beginning of Feb so November it is.

At last discussion we had about mine was early January. If you send out invitations early enough, people will be prepaired to buy a gift. Plus, that will still give us time to get stuff we need that we didn't get.

My family had this discussion the other day and it seems that January is the best time - after the holiday madness

madameprimm · August 2009

My mom is doing mine at the end of October since it will be in Louisiana or Texas.

Anna&Matt · August 2009

ours is in Nov before the holiday craziness.

This.

mine is going to be the end of jan

My mom is throwing mine Nov 21. Just because January is getting close and there is a def possibility of bad weather in January. I'm excited to have it early because that will give us plenty of time to get everything ready and get anything else we need. I dont think its too early at all-given the time of year.

We are planning 2 in Dec (DH family and work) and my family the first weekend in January.

No idea at all.

nikll34 · August 2009

I plan on doing mine in Jan. I might be having another one with my dad's side of the family, but I am not sure. If no one plans one then I won't have one! I end school about a week before xmas so Jan. would be the best time.

I hate the fact that the baby shower time is right around the holidays. I have no idea when mine will be Nov. Sounds good but what week in November will give family enough time to get holiday prepared?

Krista123105 · August 2009

We're thinking of November 22nd (I'm due February 9th) so I'll be 29 weeks along. We want to have the shower before the holiday craziness begins.

theredvixen · August 2009

My first shower just got planned today. We are doing it Nov. 8th to avoid the holiday crush. It will be the day I enter 3rd tri.

beaner628 · August 2009

I think we are going to go with November. I will be just 27 weeks when they are thinking but we want to avoid the holidays and January can bring bad weather. Plus you never know what pregnancy will bring and how I will be feeling or what will be going on so we are going to play it safe. My cousin is due Jan. .8 and they booked hers for October 10 to avoid the holidays and she will be 28 weeks. I dont think it really matters.
