Baby Showers

So is it cheesy to...

Have a welcome home party at our house after the baby is born (we are adopting by the way).  I think it would be easier so people could see the baby's room and I wouldn't have to bring the baby and presents home from another shower location.  I think my sisters want it to be a welcome home baby shower.  We also have to stay out of state for a week to a week and a half.  WWYD?  Thanks.

  • it's not cheesy to have a "meet the baby" party, but combining it with a shower is iffy. ?most likely, people will bring gifts anyway.

    if your sisters want to throw you a shower, that should be a totally different thing. ?

    personally, i would just opt for the first idea, and enjoy introducing everyone to the new baby. ?congratulations on your adoption.?

  • Definitely nothing wrong with having a meet & greet at your house. I also don't see anything wrong with holding the shower there, since the no-no is hosting it yourself but your sister would be hosting. For example, I'll probably have my sister's shower at her house because there's more space.

  • no, that sounds fine to me!  Just don't call it a "shower".

  • Not at all cheesy.  Just have your sisters make it clear that while the shower is at your house, they are hosting.  Sit back and enjoy showing off that baby!
  • Thanks girls!  Now the hard part is sitting back and letting them take care of everything.  I am such a control freak and like to be in chargeBig Smile
