When is your shower?

I'm curious, how far along will you be when you have your shower?

Have you set a date yet? Two friends are throwing me a shower and we're trying to pick a date - it's between May 11 and June 1 or 2. I'll be 32 weeks for the May date and 35 weeks for the second date. I think traditionally it's supposed to be a month prior to your due date. I'd rather not be just a month away from when I'm due, but I also don't want it to be strangely early. 

Me: 38, DH: 35

  • My Mom & BFF are throwing me one on Father's day (June 16th)... I'll be 34 weeks.

    To me, it feels a little late, since my mother delivered me at 36 weeks and I'd like to have everything all prepared before then.

    That being said, howeve

  • I'm due July 23, and mine will be early June. I don't see a reason to not do it in May, if that's what you're more comfortable with!

  • I'm not a big fan of showers for #2,3, etc.  But two of my close friends kept insisting over and over (even more so when we found out we are having a boy) so I accepted.  It will be May 11th. 

    With DD, my showers were at 34 and 36

  • I am due July 15th, but my shower is April 7th, 26 weeks along. Really early, but my SIL is throwing me the shower and that is the only time she has off. I really wasn't expecting one since this is my third (first boy though), so it was a nice surprise :)

  • One is April 28, the other is June 22 (I'm due July 14.) It feels like the first is too soon and the second is too late, but it's the only dates that worked for mine & DH's family, so that's when they are.

  • My 1st one is April 21st, so I'll be almost 29 weeks.  Another one May 18th so I'd be over 32 weeks and then a work one sometime in May also so around 32 weeks for that one too.

    They were looking at May 25th (I would have preferred that too) but my sister is also due with her first LO and her EDD is May 17th so the 25th was cutting it too close. <s
