If you have nobody to throw a shower...

Do you still have one? Is there even a point to register for items? My husband & I were thinking to just have a casual get together but idk. I don't know the etiquette for these things, nor do I have any sisters to take the reins.

I know that if you register at toys r us you do get 10% of everything left on it. Not sure about target. I registered at both. It makes it easier for allot of individuals to know what you want or need.

Good idea.

I think you should have one, a casual get together would be perfect it doesnt have to be this huge nice thing you spend alot of money on, just a get together to help with all the things you need for baby. Register the things you need and do like a light lunch around 11 or just desserts and drinks around 2 try not to do anything around 12 or 5 because people ecpect to be fed if so and thats more money.

Thank you ladies for all your replies! I was really unsure what to do.

I'm pregnant with my first and I didn't have anybody to throw me a baby shower either. I don't really have many friends and I'm not so close to family so I just went ahead and planned everything myself. It was a bit overwhelming but I honestly liked it like that just because I knew what I wanted and it was easier to do without having someone else throwing in their ideas.

If you do a registry at target they give you a little goody bag with some samples..pretty cool actually. Like they give you some diapers, wipes, a bottle, a pacifier, and coupons for their store. And that 10% off, I think it's 15 but you have to buy it 2 months before your due date. And they'll also send you more coupons too. So even if you don't have a shower you can still make a registry. Who knows, your friends and family Will buy you stuff. And having a little get together will be nice for you and your hubby. A little something yo show your baby some love before they arrive :)

I was gonna plan mine all by yself cause my bestfriend moved five hours away from me. My boyfriend doesn't want me to get even more stressed and overwhelmed so he told me to get someone to help me ao im having my close friend plan it with me.

Do it yourself.  Let your invites know your register.

I heard if you make a registry at Target, even if nobody buys things you can buy yourself & get 10% off. I wonder if that's true?

Same here.. and sadly dont have friends. My co workers was planning one but since i hate being center of attention and i dont want to inconvenience people buying me things i said no.
On my first babg we had a baby regstry but lol sadly even the closest person to us my MIL ddnt buy anything from there. I realized whats the point for this 2nd baby. Anyway it feels good to be able to provide for my baby all by just me abd my husband.
