Has anyone had second thoughts to throwing their baby shower? We have been thinking over and over about spending all that money on a venue, food, decor and cake etc. We have to sign the contract and turn in it with the money order by the end of May. We are spending to much money on this shower which I probably won’t make it back on gifts. We just rather spend it on the baby and buy all the things he needs. What would you mommies do? Any suggestions?
Yes ours was small n when I say we needed 2 cars to take home everything I was soo shocked if u do so one do It small but be mindful of ppl u know is really gonna come so get a place a little bit bigger if it's like that
@newlywedmama21, that’s sounds like a great idea.
I wouldn’t waste money on a venue. Do something at home. Very inexpensive and just have some finger foods in the late afternoon. You don’t have to spend a ton of money.
@stephanieg78 a small party or gathering where you ask guests to bring in random sizes of diapers...then you do a diaper raffle for everybody who.brought diapers. Whoever's name is drawn wins a prize from the host. You can still play baby shower games and such...it's just not about getting baby gifts. And it's more a chill vibe so it's usually at home...
I did exactly what you're thinking...I cancelled it and bought what we needed. Then I just had a diaper party instead
It doesn't need to be such a production - it sounds like you're planning a wedding!
What's wrong with your home and close friends/family and a potluck or just a few crock pots of food? We essentially just had a bbq for ours and I loved it. Everyone had fun.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
