  Check the baby shower board. And DO NOT throw your own baby shower, it's gift grabby and tacky.

  Got these from Babyshower101.com

  A Star is Born
  Celebrate the little star on the way by decorating the baby shower with stars and moons. Decorate with silver, yellow and blue colors with star-shaped items and glitter for stardust. Create star stencils and write cute information on each star (i.e., parents to be names, grandparent?s names, ?it?s a boy?, etc). Have each baby shower attendee write a message on stars (advice for the new parents or congratulatory messages and collect them).

  Baby Animals
  Bring out all of your stuffed animals to use as decorations, play a game of "baby animal match", serve pigs in a blanket as appetizers and send your guests home with decorated bags of animal cookies! Who doesn't love little baby animals?

  Book Baby Shower
  Ask each guest to bring a favorite book. Guests can talk about their memories of their favorite baby books. Mommy-to-be will receive a wonderful assortment of books to start baby's library.

  (My cousin did a Dr. Suess Themed Baby Shower and it was the best I have ever been to! Very creative..)

  Cartoon Baby Shower
  Everyone chooses their favorite cartoon character they were brought up with and brings something for the baby with that cartoon character on it. All the decorations have cartoon characters from new and old. The cake, streamers, table cloths and more all would have cartoon characters. Have cartoons playing on a television or a cd with cartoon theme music. A great baby shower theme!

  Couples Baby Shower
  Couples baby showers are becoming more and more popular. Don't decorate too cutesy to make the men feel more comfortable. Have fun with the guys especially with the games by dividing into teams, women versus men.

  Ducky Baby Shower
  Decorate the room with rubber duckies and ducky soaps of different sizes. Add yellow balloons and streamers. Serve food using Baby Ducky paper plates, cups and napkins. Bake a yellow cake with a big ducky floating in a pond in the center.

  Mad Hatter Baby Shower
  Have all the guests at the baby shower wear a hat and call it the Mad Hatter Baby Shower Tea party! You are sure to get some laughs at how the baby shower guests come in some funny hats. Make sure to take lots of pictures as it will be a memorable party! Tell everyone they have to keep their hat on for the entire party or make a donation to the new baby!

   I have no idea what MUD means, but It doesnt sound very nice.

  Your question seems reasonable to me. And who says you can't throw your own Baby Shower. Some people just do not have the support system that other women have... Do it and make it awesome! Dinner party would be nice, however remember that you are throwing it yourself, might be a bit much especially if you are doing the shower in your 3rd Trimester.

  throwing yourself a baby shower, for a second child when you had your first a little over a year ago?  either this is MUD, or you're one tacky chick.

  My friends sister threw her an awesome baby shower with cooking demonstrations. Basically a chef came to the house, everone was divided into groups of 4 and handed a recipie card. Each group made the recipies, then froze the meals in individual containers so that when she got home from the hospital, no one had to worry about cooking. Just pull it out of the freezer and reheat, plus they made enough for everyone to eat at the shower. It was fun, different and useful to the mommy to be.

  MUD is made up drama.  Since most people agree that throwing your own shower is tacky and this was this person's first post, that is why this poster is being called out.
