I've been very interested to read this thread. I'm from Scotland and we don't do "baby showers" in the UK. My friends here are all asking me when my baby shower will be (I'm only 9 weeks!!) and I tell them I'm not having one and get looks of almost horror!

I'm not that superstitious about it but I do feel funny about celebrating a baby that isn't quite here yet and having people buy gifts. I'd much rather wait till the baby is born and see people individually.

I think that the girls day out/ spa idea is a nice one though! Or even a picnic in the park or something?
