My friend wants to give me a baby shower for my 2nd?
fyrechick asked:
this will be my 2nd child but first girl. I really do not need anything besides diapers and baby supplies since she can use most of her brothers things. I requested that it be a low key affair, maybe after the baby is born so it will be more of a “meet the baby” party. I also requested to not ask for gifts as I do not want to come off looking greedy but in all honesty any help we recieve is greatly appreciated. Is is tacky to have a “meet the baby” party? She said nicely that I need to back off and let her throw the party but I do have this feeling. Is it the horomones or what LOL any suggestions or comments. Thanks

You can let her through you the shower and just regester somewhere for the things that you need.
let her throw the party,
people will give you gifts regardless, and everyone already knows your not a MOOCHER
have the party for the baby NOT for YOU
Now relax and let her throw the party
Back OFF!!! ( nicely)
Have fun , and congrats.

Just enjoy the party!
You can always exchange the gifts you don’t need later.
Hormones!!! lol Does she know about the first shower?? If she does let her run with it. You know you are having the shower now so register but when you register register for the stuff you want which is diapers and baby supplies. When the guests look at the list at the store they will see that greed is not your thing. They will see you are looking for the basics.
Sit back and enjoy the attention and the cake!
Congrats and good luck!
Let her do it..She cannot wear her bro’s stuff forever, and girls look tooooo cute in girlie stuff! Its a one time thing anyway…I had four boys, then finally got my girl…You had better believe they threw me a huge shower!! It was alot of fun too…After the baby was born, and both men and women came..We had a good time!
Your crazy. Your having a girl and you have a boy so don’t use your boy stuff on your girl. Let your guest get little girl stuff. I didn’t have a baby shower with my second only reason cause i was having anothe boy so it didn’t matter and plus i got everything from everyone so i really didn’t need one cause i got hooked up.Let your friend do what she wants.
It is so kind of your friend to give you a baby shower! Just be grateful and give her the pleasure of doing it her way! You will be able to use of lot of little girl things and you will enjoy having them so much! Do this for your daughter! If you get things you don’t need or can’t use, just save them to use as shower gifts for your friends who have babies.
Let her throw the shower!! Relax, your friends will not perceive you as “greedy”. Have her state that you mainly need the essentials…diapers, wipes, creams, etc. Have fun and be sure to send thank you’s!
I think that a “meet the baby” party is a really cute idea! I think that you should let her go through with it. No one will think that you are greedy……….she is throwing YOU a party, so I say sit back and enjoy! It looks like your friend is just trying to be a friend. Go for it girl.
hey if its your friend that wants to throw the party, i say, let her throw the party. and no i think the “meet the baby” party sounds like a cute idea. =D
Have a diaper shower, or the cutest girl outfit party. Or a I am having a little sister party, have the host throw the party from you sons perspective. That way he is involved and you can just sit back and enjoy!
I would say RELAX. Let her throw the party her way… Let her have fun with it. You can always have a cookout after the baby gets here to “meet the baby”. That is what we did. But our family loves to cookout and they use any reason they can to do so. My first was a boy (3 years old now) and my second was a girl (2 months now). We didn’t need to much since we bought a lot of neutral the first time (with my son, we didn’t find out what we were having). However I requested that the invitations say “gifts are not needed, but if anyone really insists on getting something, a walmart gift card would be apprieciated.” We had 20 people show up (all family) and only 3 brought gifts. It was great because we didn’t get what we didn’t need and the gift cards helped to get some diapers and etc. for the baby once she arrived.
go ahead and register. you don’t have to register for the stuff you don’t need. so just go sign up for a bunch of pink stuff and diapers and bath stuff. anything that you need that is wore out from your son or that you still need. maybe some girly bedding and pink bottles, pacifiers, pink clothes. just let your friend have fun. register for bigger sizes if most of your newborn stuff is neutral. it’s always nice to have new stuff for your baby. if you don’t want your guest to spend a fortune then don’t put expensive stuff on there. My friend just had a baby and she had stuff on her list that ranged from 1.99- 80. that way if you wanted to spend less you could. plus people bought stuff that wasn’t on the list. i made her a blanket, bought some crib sheets, and a receiving blanket and she was happy with that. most places let you leave a message to your guest on your registry so you could put something like anything is greatly appreciated but it is only expected that you share in our joy. good luck and congrats.
Let her do it! Every baby should be celebrated, no matter how many children you have. When you register, just register for the diapers and baby supplies you need! Sit back, relax and enjoy! Congrats….
