    Is it normal to have a babyshower if your in the UK? lol ive never been to one or heard that anyone is actually having one so im not sure.
    If so, at how many weeks is it normal to have one? :)
  • debsdebs
    I would say two weeks before you are due to have one gives you time to sort through and organize what you got and see what you still need and babies can come early. I would say not to spend a lot I usually spend less then 200 because that's money you can be using toward the baby

    With my first I had my shower a month an a half early,,, my baby came over 2 weeks eaarly so im glad I did, I was able to find out what I needed to have for the baby an get things put together,, brcause u never know what u get from others an might get nice stuff but nothing u really need, an if u wait to long ull be running around 9months preg tryin to gey stuff,,, im going to do the same this year since im on baby #2 an its been 5 years since my first,,,,,,hope this helps

    Wow, I didn't know that about the UK. Interesting things I am learning here :) in the U.S. its a big traditional type thing I guess...@mrslamaster thanks for the response, that's a good idea to have it a little earlier than just a month before the EDD since the baby decides when it wants to come into the world :) Did you do anything weird, creative...nontraditonal?? I don't know I just want to hear about some cool unique babyshowers ;)

    Thanks debs...I think that's a good idea for anyone who plans to have a shower, the babies being born is spontaneous! :)

    I planned a baby shower for my cousin. It was in october so I did a pumpkin theme. We made invitations with plaid and pumpkins and said a little pumpkin is on the way, so set aside this special day. And at the shower we decorated with fall leaves and fall flowers and pumpkins with faces and pacifiers. And some things we served were hot apple cider to drink and also made some sandwhiches shaped like pumpkins and leafs and leaf shaped cheese pieces for cheese and crackers.

    Hey. My baby is due on march 9,2011. I'm having a boy. I wanted 2 have 2 baby showers(around the 1st week of feb). One was 4 older folks wit more $ n better gifts lol n the other was for all of my friends who would be cheap but it would b fun. However I asked my mom 2 throw the 1 for older people n she denied me..so now I'm thinking I should just go wit the other 1. The only problem is my friend just had 1 n spent almost $300 n it wasn't worth that much. So does any1 have a suggestion of how 2 have it in a small place like a house n cheap decorations but 2 make it look nice?
  • redchriscoredchrisco
    We planned a game where you melt different kinds of candy bars in diapers and the guests have to guess what kind of candy is in the diapers by look and smell...it was one of the funnest games we played
  • dollfacex0x0dollfacex0x0
    @well I don't know where you live but at a park would be really nice and fun in the summer andnot to mention......FREE! :)

    @redchrisco that's adorable! :) for my first shower we did teddy bears. I wasn't into it, bur my mom thought it was sweet. There wasn't much to it. For my second shower (completely unexpected because it was only two years after my first and both were boys) my best friend hijacked my private registry (I made it so I could keep track of what I bought)-she found it, copied it and put it under her own name so people could buy from it. She did a rainshower theme, with black, green, yellow and white balloons, little umbrellas as favors, lots of finger foods, and invites/paper products with a pregnant woman holding an umbrella in the rain. It was adorable. The best "game" that we did was to have each person there write a birthday card for my son, each one to be opened on a birthday. We had crayons, markers, consturction paper, scissors, glue-all sorts of fun stuff. There were 10 of us there, so he will get a birthday card each year until he's 10 with each person's thoughts about him before he was born. Best shower game ever.

    Walmart and dollor stores have great things and really cheap, they have really cute banners an ribbins with different theams,,, and u can also buy bags of ballons and blow them up and have laying on the floor or hang them from the ciling to give a touch of color and fun, plus there good for games to see who can find one that matches the size of ur belly based just on looks,,
  • MrsLaMasterMrsLaMaster
    And homemade cupcakes are better then a expencive cake and if u have alot left people can take them home with them,, an I think they tast better

    @redchrischo I love that pumpkin theme, I am so jealous, what a great idea.

    I was wandering my 1st I had a baby shower and it was a girl, this one is a boy do you get a baby shower since it is a different sex? I have a step son, but I became his mother when he was 6 months so I don't know.
  • MrsLaMasterMrsLaMaster
    U,can have a baby shower as long as ur having a baby,, I dont see anything wrong with it as long as its not 3 in a row for the same sex,,
  • MomOfThreeMomOfThree

    First time I had at a friends house....second time we got private room n a restaurant. I don't think ill have a shower this time...but maybe a party where gifts aren't expected esp if its another boy

    As far as ive always known a friend throes the shower for you. I threw one for a friends boy. And friends girl. I made diaper cakes which are fun useful and can cost as little or as much as you want. We had a diaper theme for one. Everyone brings a few or a lot of diapers. And if they want can bring other gifts. We made cup cakes with pink icing for girl then blue ice with sports balls for boy. I made some snack foods then had a few people bring fav dishes. Pot luck style. So didn't cost much.and got most decorations at doller store. They are lots of fun! You can do what ever you want!

    My bestfriend/the sister of my child's father & her family threw my babyshower. It was beautiful. Everything was hot pink & zebra print. All my friends came and we had a good time.
