i've never been opposed to people having a baby shower for more than their first, i didn't know it was such a taboo etiquette thing...

The age difference between her last son and this little girl deffinatly make a second shower more socially acceptable.

Besides everyone knows that ettiqute rules don't apply to celebrities...and maybe ettiqute is diffrent in England...where she and her husband are from.

Then again Tori Spelling had back to back showers for Liam and Stella. But I think Stella's shower was more of a charity event...I don't remeber though.

I'm just confused as to WHY someone so rich needs a baby shower!

I hope they release pictures of it. Sounds cute. Smile

Are baby showers even done in England? DH is from Ireland and MIL has never heard of baby showers except for Americans in Ireland. She came over to go to mine and was practically taking notes so she could go try to start a trend at home. A lot of times the English and Irish trends match.

Nope, English don't typically do showers.

exactly! lol

plus looking at a little bit of the gift list i was like, hey! i could use a few of those things!!

I think I have read now that the "ok" reasons for having another shower is a. age difference is great, and you may have already thought you were done thus giving many things away. OR b. the gender is different than the others, and isn't she having a girl finally after having all boys?

These reasons make perfectly good sense to me otherwise, wait for a meet'n'greet later once the baby is born. No gifts needed though you know some will bring something, even if its a piece of clothing or a blanket.

BUT, in her instance too, as a rich celebrity... does she really need one? Have a social, ask for money to be donated to a charity... just so you can have a fun get together! Any reason to party is ok.

I don't have a problem with it most of the time. Sex differences. Big age gap. Things like that. I prefer "sprinkle" for second babies of the same sex close together. Really though, if someone offers to throw you a shower, then who cares. You don't have to go if you think its so bad.

Looks like her American friends/acquaintances however wanted to throw her one? Guess thats how she got one!

My second shower was amazing! We met for a delicious brunch and I was showered with rattles, blankets, books -all the things that the first baby wore out. I've never understood the controversy on the bump- I'm all for them.

Really, how is having 1 shower to celebrate each baby more tacky than having 3-4 for 1 baby? I've never understood why people get so worked up over this (i.e. the baby showers board). I find it strange when someone has a baby and doesn't have any type of celebration, sprinkle or shower.

I am glad so many of you are not so 'anti-shower' for second or more babies! I was actually really disappointed and offended that everyone I know was so opposed to my having a second shower. Even though my children are 7 years appart!! In order to not 'offend' anyone or seem 'greedy' I decided to not have a shower, even though we could really use it. I feel like every baby should be 'celebrated'! And its not so much about getting gifts, but more of welcoming this new little one into the world. How fair is it that only your first born gets a shower? How would your other children feel if they knew they did not get a shower or sprinkle before they were born?? Glad to hear some of you agree with me. Big Smile

this is my third baby and I am having another shower. I didn't plan on it since it is my third but my church is throwing me one ( it's more of a BBQ type thing) and then I am having another one in a couple of weeks.My girlfriends insisted on giving me one- so I didn't argue

I have a 13 yr old girl, and a 4 yr old boy already and this one is another boy- however I gave almost all of my sons baby things away in August and got preggo in Sept.

I thought the same thing! Well, gee if Posh can have one, then why not everyone else!

I think it is old fashioned and weird for people to be so up in arms about having more than one shower, especially if it is for a different gender and a big age gap.

My friends are throwing me one for my baby girl - I gave away everything from my son 4 years ago and most of what we had then was hand me downs anyway. I dont expect to get a lot of presents since my family cant come and they live far away, but I am excited to get together with friends and celebrate this new baby!
