No it would not be rude, and you can just tell her your sister n sister n law was planning you a suprise one but someone told you and your suppose to still b suprised, thats if you dont want to hurt her feelings if you think she would be upset.
Hi Ladies!
Well ... I've actually had a friend offer to throw one totally unprompted ... She was at our wedding. She's sort of one of those "sort of" friends, if you know what I mean. I don't know. I mean, the people she would probably invite would be people I actually am closer with. But it just seems kind of strange to me. Plus, my sister and sister-in-law are both in the area, and I imagine they'd want to throw it. I don't really know what to do about the situation. I guess I have some time. I mean, if someone wants to throw one and offered totally unprompted to do so ... wouldn't it be rude to refuse??
Oh well, we'll see!
Yeah, I saw that. That is a good idea. I might do that Like you saidm you can never have enough diapers!! This will be the first baby in almost 7 years so everyone in my family is really excited! I'm not too worried. Plus, it's nice because I'm not poor like I was the first time around. When I had my daughter we were so broke, I was barely working and then completly stopped. We lived in a tiny 1 bedroom apartment.
I was just saying that to my dh. We didn't find out what we were having when I was preg with my dd. So he doens't want to find out this time either, but I was like the only reason it didn't matter before was because we had no money to buy stuff ahead of time anyways, and we didn't have a nursely to decorate.
This time, we have the money, we own our own house with a third bedroom we can decorate ahead of time...so I want to know!! (I'm dreading having to give up my office and scrap-booking room though!)
Well stilltrying like i mentioned to amber you could always still have a diaper party, or even a small babyshower with just family.(well at least family is suppose to supportive and they know babies are expensive).
yeah I had a shower when I was preg with my daughter so I wouldn't have anotehr one now. I wouldn't feel like it was right. Unfortunately, i got rid of everything baby a long time ago because I got so sick of storeing everything for so long and no second baby. It was like a reminder of my failure or something...SO, now I have to buy EVERYTHING all over again!!
That is such a great idea! Thank you so much! I could certainly use it... I have 2 kidos in diapers now (2, and 13mths). Hopefully my 2 year old will soon be potty trained! :)
I was looking at other ideas also, i no some women who had a few children or 3 showers sometimes just have a Diaper Party, if nothing else you can have a diaper party, and some non-expensive snacks and just as the invitation says Diaper Party, everyone brings some diapers n wipes, you can never have to many diapers:) Just a suggestion if you dont want to have a Full Shower.
Oh I just had a moment I didn't answer any of your other questions...I've also never been to a baby shower so I don't know what common gifts are. I think that if you come up with something that fits you and is different run with it!
I don't know that I'll have a shower that's why I didn't reply. I've never had one. This is my fifth pregnancy. I started really young, I'm 24...my oldest just turned 8. So when I got pregnant with her it was "acceptable". I did have a friend offer to throw one at one time at my MIL house, however she wanted to make all the rules and wouldn't let me invite who I wanted to invite...so I changed my mind. We'll see...but I'm not counting on it (although I would like one).
I think your cake idea is adorable!
