Hi everyone! My baby girl isn’t due until October, so I’m a ways away from having my baby shower. I however tend to always plan everything way ahead so I’m not rushing and stressing last minute! I have my theme, party favors, game prizes, decor, everything already ready to be ordered and set in stone. My issue however is that I know typically a Diaper Raffle winner gets a larger gift and I am stumped on ideas! May I mention NOBODY coming drinks, so bottles of wine etc are out of question. If y’all have any suggestions please let me know! TIA! submitted by /u/justamommaof2 [visit reddit] [com ..read more

I am having a hard time deciding what to do for my baby shower. These are my two options Have the baby shower on a Saturday at a community centre and invite everyone to my house nearby (2 mins drive away) for a pool party with their kids and spouses plus enjoy a bbq/drinks afterwards. Have the baby shower on a Sunday at a community centre and that’s it. This would either be on August 24th or 25th. So it is asking for everyone’s saturday in the summer. I know people can have plans at the cabin or lake, or going to the beach, or wedding or prior engagements and that Sundays are usually fr ..read more

I am having my first baby in a couple of months, I’m not from the States and in my culture a baby shower is not a done thing really. We don’t like to count our blessings before we have them and just hope the baby arrives healthy rather than “celebrating” prematurely. I do however, have a lot of friends here who keep asking me about a shower and who will most likely want to give me gifts regardless. Does it come across the wrong way if I set up a registry and share it with whoever asks without having a shower? I always feel a shower is a way to host and thank everyone for the gifts that they a ..read more
