Hi,

Before I was preg with Noah I never realised that most ppl only have baby showers for the first baby and I sometimes day dream and think it would be great to have another one and to have a pink themed day if the next one was a girl (my baby shower was completely blue themed) and as much as I appreciated all the beautiful gifts I or should I say my baby was given, I really just enjoyed having a wonderful girly time and playing games and talking about al things baby!!

So I don't know if I will have a baby shower next time if it wasn't for the etiquette of only having 1 I definitely would. I think the thoughts of gifts comes from the name baby shower kinda suggests showering the baby with gifts. So maybe you could call it a pregnancy party lol or like has been suggested say specifically no gifts.That way you still get the great time with the ladies but ppl aren't pressured into buying gifts if they don't want to and then you don't look greedy to anyone.

I think it would be great to change the etiquette to baby showers for each baby. After all maybe the mother has been a mum before but the baby is brand new and has never had a baby shower before. They are just so much fun.

I would also recommend if you do the no gifts thing not opening any gifts that are bought in front of everyone unless its only 1 or 2. Just might make anyone that didn't bring a gift uncomfortable.
