Does anyone know the etiquette for a
second baby shower? I have a 5 year old
son, had a huge shower. Did't plan on
anymore kids for quite awhile, but low and
behold....I'm on # 2. Most of the stuff
from my son I lent out and it was returned
in bad shape, or I gave it away, or it was
borrowed to begin with. Is it rude of me
to have another shower even if I already
know this one's a girl? Would it look
rude, like i'm looking for the same people
to give me presents again? I'd like to
have the shower for a fun girl get
together, how would I let people know I
don't expect gifts but they would be
greatly appreciated?

Just my opinion. If your friends are
wanting to give you a baby shower, that
would be great, but to have your own would
seem kind of tacky, or asking for someone
to give you one would sound kind of
strange too, just my opinion.
Check out second-hand stores sometimes
they have things in their that have not
even been used, yard sales, the newspaper,
basement an attic sales.
Good luck!
Sincerely,

I see how that's tacky! But my boyfriends
mom wants to have one for me. It's not
the same father as my first son...So it's
all new for their family. So, would it be
alright for her to invite my family who
already went to my first shower?

Heck yes, if someone wants to give you
one, that's great, if you did not invite
them, they might be hurt, and if they do
not approve, they will not go, just enjoy
& congratulations!

You Should Have Your Shower Posted: 12-09-04 18:11pm
This is a new bundle of joy and its a
girl!!!! I am sure your friends know that
you are not just wanting presents. Every
birth is something very special, you
shouldnt not have one because you already
have had a baby. Dont stress eveything
will be beautiful!!!! Congrats!!!! :d

I think every baby deserves his/her own
shower. Every child is special.
