We had a lunch with a few close friends for my "baby shower". Everyone paid for themselves & it really was supossed to just be a girly lunch with friends before I had the baby. That said everyone bought presents as well as paying for their lunch & chipping in for mine, so not what I had intended though. For me it was just a celebration that I was soon going to be a mummy for the secnd time, I didn't expect presents at all.
