Ladies - a friend of mine is really keen on hosting a baby shower for me. I have a few reservations though:

  • None of my family members have had a baby shower in the past. I don't want to be seen as setting a 'precedent' in the family
  • I don't like the idea of expecting guests to buy gifts
  • I am a little supersticious in that I don't want to get too ahead of myself and 'celebrate' too much before the baby is born


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
You could wait until after bub is here and having a christening/name dedication?
