    Question Baby shower for #2?

    Just wondering what you girls think about baby showers for baby #2 and subsequent babies?
    Is it considered tacky? Or does each baby get a shower?
    I've always heard that it's okay if the first is a boy and the second a girl, or vice versa, but I don't really know what the standing is if you have 2 of the same sex?

    I dont really care if I have a baby shower or not. I kept everything from Grayson, so the new baby really doesnt NEED anything - and I know my mom or my friends will ask me about having one when the time comes in a couple of months.

    Well, why not? I mean, it's still kind of a party to celebrate having a new baby, whether it's the first, third, or fourteenth...I'm pretty sure my sisters are throwing me one, largely because I'd given away all of V's stuff, declaring I wasn't having any more children (famous last words).
    It is how we treat the humblest and most powerless among us that determines the fate of our souls.

    I think it is okay, but there are some restrictions to it. I agree if you have a boy then a girl or vice versa it is okay. Also if you have a baby then many years later have another, or if you have a baby with someone else then your other children (ie get remarried) BUT i think it becomes tacky for example i know a girl who is 21, and has 2 children both boys. She had 2 baby showers and they are only a year apart!

    I also think there is a difference between a get together with close friends and family, and a full fledged baby shower like you typically do with your first.

    you could have the party still and ask that gifts not be brought if thats what you're worried about. or ask for donations for college instead?

    Get a list of things you don't need because you have it from Grayson and go from there. If nothing else, have a celebration of the new baby and go on with life!

    Personally, I feel diaper showers are ok for second babies but not full baby showers. I'm more for a "Meet The Baby" party.

    But I can't really say anything since Corvin didn't get anything from family. Not even a card. Yeah, I'm still a bit bitter. lol

    we do this a meet the baby party. that way people don't feel obligated to bring gifts but most do anyways. i see no problem in having another baby shower, its another celebration for another life. why not.

    I agree with the meet the baby party..I was always told a second baby shower is tacky unless there is a long time in between..but that is just me!

    I LOVE MY LIFE!

  9. For most Spanish families, we throw big baby showers not matter if its the first or 3rd baby. Which is fine with me.

    I wouldn't see a huge problem with more than one baby shower.. Each one is different and a blessing. I never knew you shouldn't have one for each..
    I guess that's just where I come from though!

    For the second and so on I could see no getting as many big items.. like cribs.. strollers.. etc.. but everything else is still useful!
