Baby Shower?

manabugs · July 2015

Hi! Since my baby will be born on the holidays (December) would it be too early to have my baby shower in October?

LC122 · July 2015

No. I was due Dec 20th with my first and had one of my showers mid-October.
You will be far enough along to look obviously pregnant, but not so far along that you are miserably unconfortable, if you even get that feeling. (I was 2 weeks late with my first and perfectly fine with that, but some people get that "get-this-baby-out-of-me" feeling earlier than others.)

No, I'm actually planning for mid October to avoid being too close to Halloween. And I just think November is too late because I'd like time to buy stuff I don't get at the baby shower while I'm still able to move around a bit easier.

I've got one being planned in the beginning of October, I believe one for the beginning of November, not sure when work doing theirs, I'm pushing for my sister to do her thing in September because she lives 4 hours away and she won't say no, and welcome baby party in NY(I live in GA) for the end of December. I'm due beginning of December/end of November they won't officially change the date until I have my next ultrasound to confirm dates 2 in a row. Im technically having 5, help I didn't want 1, but every adult is insisting on having one for me, and I'm having issues saying no.... Whenever you think you want it should be fine, as long as it in the last trimester.

No I'm planning Oct 24 seem like a good time before the whole halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas chaos

We are going to do end of September/ beginning of October. Hubby plus 4 other people have birthdays in November plus there's thanksgiving. So I'm going with early. I think October is good.

I'm due December 8th and having mine the first weekend in October. That seems like enough time to buy anything we didn't receive and not have to worry about shipping times or replacing things or baby coming a bit early.

My future MIL is throwing me and my fiance a baby shower at the end of September. It was recommended by my best friend who has 2 kids to have it early so you have plenty of time to buy anything you still need before you're miserable or about to go into labor at any moment.

Mines end of August and I'm due December 4th. It got too crazy to have guests come in closer to the holidays so doing it earlier made more sense. Also nice to wait till after your shower to see what you still need for the baby.

taysun · July 2015

Mines October 10 and I'm due Dec 28. We decided on that date because it was most convenient for my college friends.

yl1m32015 · July 2015

Mine is Oct 4. I wanted it before the holidays. Everyone is very happy about that.

chodge29 · July 2015

The same with our family! I'm due December 31st and between the holidays, a wedding, and family going on vacation...October was the better time to have one

rockinmathchic · July 2015

You can never be too early in my opinion. My shower for my first was scheduled exactly 5 weeks before my son was due and I ended up having complications and delivering the day before the shower... I'm hoping I actually get a shower this time!

VegetaElPrincipe · July 2015

I don't think that is early, considering the holiday rush. I get married in September so my mom isn't trying to discuss a shower until after we get through the wedding, which makes sense to me. I'm sure she and my aunt will pick a weekend in October or November. But I say do what is best for you and your loved ones.

mbecca11 · July 2015

My baby shower date is set for October 11th, and I'm due December 16th. I figured two months to get things exchanged and buy things I didn't get is a good amount of time

rain0831boww · July 2015

Having mine October 18th.

VesperLove · July 2015

I'm likely planning for October as well. My birthday is the first week in November, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas. I'd like to get it done before all of that stuff.

hollywoodnp · July 2015

I think the earlier the better just in case! We are planning mid October as well!

prettyrae1 · July 2015

No well im due December 17 and im having mines the first weekend of November. ..November 7 to be exact lol

BabyBChillin · July 2015

I'm having mine mid or late October. I'm going to have a Halloween themed shower since it's my favorite holiday.

luviac · July 2015

I am having mine October 17 since I am die December 28. With my due date so close to the holidays it would be to hectic to do it in November.

redfallon · July 2015

My only warning to everyone is that if you haven't bought anything prior to your shower, be prepared for that shopping bug to hit you on your way home from your baby shower!

I had my first shower with DD near where I grew up, which is a 6 hour drive from where we live now. On the way home from the 6 hour drive, I stopped in at Target and filled up my basket with things to decorate her room among other things. I was tired from the drive, but I was on a high from the shower.

rfomalley · July 2015

I've asked everyone to wait until after the baby is born. This is my third pregnancy and I have had two miscarriages so far. I just would rather be safe.

Nataliegz12 · July 2015

Mine is at the end of August, but that is because we are expecting twins and my sister is getting married the beginning of October so I didn't want my mom to plan anything too close to hers, I want her to have her time to shine.
