Hi surprised,

I'm currently planning a baby shower for my sister. I think that every mum to be deserves a special afternoon with her female friends to celebrate the fact that she will be bringing a baby into this world. Pregnancy is a very special time and should be celebrated. I think baby showers serve many functions, one is to catch up with all the girls who are important to you before you become a mum in one place, so that the mum to be doesn't have to run around in those last few months visiting or entertaining multiple guests. another is for other mum's to be able to give you their 'pearls of wisdom'.

If presents are involved - hooray! it only makes the afternoon even better .

I love being invited to baby showers, and just buy a present that is within my budget.

As long as the mum to be wants a shower then I'm all for them. I hope you decide to have a shower and have a great time - can you get someone else to organise for you though?
