    This is why I literally kept EVERYTHING from DD1. If I had another girl, which I am, I was set. If not, I could take it to a consignment shop and trade it I for boy stuff. No second shower needed.
    Even if you got rid of everything and it's 10 years later a second shower is not 'needed'. A shower is thrown to welcome you to motherhood, not thrown because you "need stuff". After all, you don't throw a toddler shower when you need a bigger carseat, toddler bed, booster seat, potty, toddler clothes, all the toddler accoutrements.

    So I should cancel my toddler shower scheduled in about a year?

    (not srs)

    Obviously you just need to include the convertible carseat on the registry you put on the birthday party invites
    Well damn, I bought a convertible car seat from the get go. Can I put his first big boy bed on there or sumthin? Or his college fund?
    For sure!  I think those are all good options!  You might also consider contributions to a vacation fund, Disney is expensive!

    My family and friends have always had a baby shower to welcome the new baby... each new baby. Your loved ones want to celebrate that with you whether you call it a shower or something else. Don't deprive yourself and your loved ones of that because someone else thinks it's tacky. Do what's right for you and your loved ones.

    That's so weird how they welcome the baby when the baby isn't even there yet. Does the mother give birth at the shower?

    Also, please reserve the term deprivation for something more serious. I'm quite sure everyone's loved ones would go on just fine without a fucking party

    Deprived is defined as suffering a severe and damaging lack of basic material and cultural benefits.
    Honey, I'm thinking you're holding a shower to a standard that is just bizarre and ridiculous.
    You seriously need to rethink your priorities.

    You get that your loved ones can buy you gifts without you actually having a shower right? If people really want to buy you something they'll do it without an official invitation to a forced gift-giving event.

    You're not celebrating the kid at a shower before it is born. You want to celebrate the kid, wait until it's here.

    Yes a full fledged shower is for FTM but Sprinkles are becoming more common for followup babies. A baby is fun to celebrate regardless, but should only be done if a friend wants one. yes there are a lot of things you can keep and so it may be a gift less party but it's still a celebration.

     

    You can do a dinner out with friends if you just want to celebrate.
