baby shower

This is our first baby and i was looking forward to having a baby shower. All our friends who have had them have had a parent or sibling plan them... is it something you can plan for yourself? I dont want to seem selfish and ask someone to but have no idea where to begin. i am worried i will upset someone if i go ahead and plan one too. Is it still very early to be worrying about this? Im 20 weeks now and i just saw on this app to do the registry soon and i just dont see a point...

    You shouldn't throw your own baby shower.  That is an etiquette no no.  Hopefully someone plans one for you.  Also, we are registering this time (2nd child) just to use the completion discount.  Also you don't know if people will want to buy you something with or without a shower.  We often use it to get friends gifts who know we live out of town so don't invite us to the actual shower.

    I think it's very early. Even thougg lots of people are making posts about it, normally around here people don't have the shower until the mom is very pregnant, like at least 7 or 8 months along. So if someone was thinking about having a shower for you they could easily not be mentioning it because it's months down the road.I don't really think people are supposed to throw themself a shower but you could. Or perhaps you can mention to a friend or family member that you would like to have one. But as I said I think it's way too early to plan or discuss all that. feel free to go ahead and start a registry though. You can easily make a registry without having a shower planned.you don't have to tell people about the registry until they ask or its necessary to put it on a shower invitation.

    I agree with @nsaid4u I think it's def ok to start making a registry, but family/friends could be planning something and trying to surprise you. With my first I was due in May and my shower was in April it was a surprise shower. If your concerned j would ask a family member if there's something in the works! Good luck!

    Ya i figured it was too early. It so annoying because i have friends that are asking if they are invited and i dont really know and in laws asking about a date and again. No idea. its not even that i really care that much about it its everyone expecting me to have answers. We are having a gender reveal bbq with family. Our families have never met as we eloped and my mom insisted on meeting them. Guess that would be helpful if she is planning one.

    If people are asking you about a shower (like, if they're invited or when it is), just tell them that nobody has offered to host one so as far as you know, you're not having one. Perhaps everyone has just assumed someone is already on top of it?

    I wouldn't worry. They don't have to offer to host one of it isn't convenient. :) but if they're asking about one, I think it's fair to say that nobody has offered!
