Shower for baby number two?
My husband and I are expecting our second son this coming september. I know that etiquette says you only have a baby shower for your oldest, and I understand the reasonings behind this. We are already totally set up with all the necessary “baby items” (including clothing) from the birth of our oldest son.
HOWEVER, I would really enjoy having the party part of a baby shower, playing games, swapping baby stories with friends and family, etc. My sister called last night and offered to host a shower.
In your opionion, would it be appropriate to have the shower, but send out invitations saying “no gifts” ????
I have heard of people doing a baby shower, but instead of gifts have the guests bring a casserole you can freeze. That way after the baby is born and you do not feel like cooking, you will have something to quickly fix for the family. I thought it sounded like a cool idea when I first heard about it. Congrats on your new edition!
