Baby shower

So my cousin keeps asking me to pick the date of the baby shower I'm due late August. When would be a good time to do a baby shower? My friend wants to do it in August but I think that being my first baby I will be to out of it and tired to even entertain guests. I was think 2nd week of June is that too soon? I'm a FTM so I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Also when should I register??

Re: Baby shower

  • I wouldn't want it too late. I would say any time in June or July is fine. I was worried about not having anything set up before the shower if it was too late. It would give me anxiety, lol. Plus I have friends who delivered a month early, not that it is

  • I'm due early August, and our's is early June. Anytime between June and July would be prime. Really wouldn't see August as a wise time to have one IMO.

  • I am also a FTM but I know of number of women who have had babies recently. You can really do a shower when ever you are most comfortable.  Most of them have had their showers about month - month and half before their due date. I am not sure when to

  • My due date is Aug 9th, and my shower is June 30th.  I asked not to do anything in July just b/c I don't want to be uncomfortable at my own shower, lol.

  • W my first, I was due end of April and had my shower the beginning of March. I think I was around 33 weeks. I had to fly for it, so that's why it was then.

    I wasn't uncomfortable at all and ended up delivering at 37w1d.

  • Due Aug 10 and shower will be June 15.  I also asked that my shower not be any later than end June as to allow me time to buy anything else that we still needed, put things away, etc.  Plus, I didn't want to be giant and deal with summer heat in

  • I suggest finding weekends that work well for you and plan around that. I'm having a super early shower (end of April!) because it was the only weekend that I could travel without having to take time off of work - and I have to travel very far.

  • I am due Aug 28th and having my shower June 1st. I'd do it later but I live in Hawaii and am flying back to California for it.. Wanted to do it before my 3rd trimester started because of the flying.. Good luck!
  • My due date is August25 Im a STM my shower is July 6th and my sons second bdays July 19th so im doing it all the same day :) I think June or July would be best for you :)
  • Thank you so much ladies I just talked to my cousin told her all your great ideas and we decided the middle week of June. I'm so excited to start helping her with planning. I think we will also register next week when my husband is off. : thank you again!
  • I am due on the 1st, and my friends are planning it in mid to late May.

    Like you, I'm a FTM and I'm not sure how I'll feel during that last trimester. I might be too tired and uncomfortable if I wait until later.

    Also, if I have to do retu

  • I think having the shower anytime in June or July would be fine. As for registering, you can start whenever you want!
