Baby Shower for Baby Number Two?
Just found out that my sister is pregnant with Baby #2!
I'm not sure what normal protocol is- do people usually hold baby showers for their second baby?
I would like to throw her another shower but am not sure if this is the norm. If it is, do you typically invite smaller quantity people? Would I only invite family and terrifically close friends?
I am trying to avoid the "I have to buy her another present?" problem. Her first daughter is going to be 2 next month.
Any advice is make the acquaintance of! Thanks in advance for any opinions or thoughts.
no you merely get a shower for the first baby.
I have 3 children and I am currently pregnant.I have a had shower every time and will own one again...NOT BY MY CHOICE BUT, MY FRIEND"S AND FAMILY'S! Really, it should be up to the people close to her to decide whether to throw a shower or not. She shouldn't EXPECT a shower but, just be grateful if you guys throw one:) In my feelings, all families are different... and in my casing, I told them not to worry about it but, they aren't listening to me at adjectives, its something they WANT to do.. Source(s): BTW, we live in the south, where most people are adjectives about hospitality and spending time w/ their close friends and family and will use any excuse necessary! lol
Answers: if she have a boy and then a girl yes totally normally.
i would keep it to relatives and close friends
It would be nice...if it's matching gender you could ask in the invitation for diapers instead of clothes and she probably has most essentials. Any size diapers would be ok because kid will grow into them. If it's opposite gender clothes would be ok. If you do the diaper idea, yes they're still buying another present but one pack of diapers wouldn't be spending closely.
I suppose you can. Whether its right or wrong, or family throws a shower almost everytime someone has a kid. Typically, people come buy when the kid is born and brings a gift.
You could do a relaxing brunch. Have a theme..stuff that she may need..diapers etc. And get it open minded..So they think its not just for more gifts.
You could also do a inherited shower for your side of your family and her close best friends if your worried or shes worried about what some people will have a sneaking suspicion that. I think of course family and best friends will want to do it anyways.
Good Luck!
Well it's true not as much of a fuss is made after you've had a second child. However I'd celebrate the episode in some way, perhaps near a brunch, so no one feels obligated to bring a gift
Showers are for when a mom has her FIRST baby. I would happily formulate an exception for someone who lost their home, but otherwise, you want more babies, you buy the stuff. The gift grab is over.
If you as an aunt want to buy a gift for your niece or nephew, to be precise entirely up to you. But a 2nd shower would get a refusal from me.
