Isnt it traditional to have only 1 baby shower? I was taught that you dont have a baby shower for every child. But i find that a lot of people have one for each one no matter how close in age they are. Am i the only one who gets really annoyed when my friends push out babies every year and have a shower asking for or expecting/demanding gifts for every child they choose to have?
I agree with @rachel8792 That's how we do it. like we are having a boy so I wouldn't expect a baby shower next time if its another boy but a girl then that's different.
I think if the kids are spaced out by a couple of years, it's OK to have a baby shower for each...but if they are popping a baby out every year than hell no lol...just my opinion tho
Eh I think its tacky if you do it for the same sex. We personally only do it if the gender of the second baby or next is different. So if I have a girl in a few years we would get another shower because its all girl things as opposed to boy
@honeybee1219, you're not crazy! Haha. It's okay to celebrate, but, expecting gifts and registering for each child is just embarrassing 🙈 haha.
@mommieoftaylei, @jennatess thank you! I was starting to think i was crazy!!
It's so tacky, and very bad etiquette. I'm okay with Sprinkle Showers (like a shower - but "light".) that way you can celebrate with family and friends, but not register and ask for/expect gifts. I went to one the other day, and it was super cute. It was "summer rain" themed (umbrella centerpieces, and cute rain boots.) and everyone just brought some diapers and had some food and relaxed. So much better than an actual baby shower.
My kids will be 7 years apart so that's why I am having one
