What do you wear to baby showers?
Not your own - as a guest.
Do you wear a dress, skirt, jeans, pants, etc.? What about other guests?
Re: What do you wear to baby showers?
hmmm... i have always worn a dress or skirt, but i would think pants and a cute top would be fine as well....
depending on the style of the mom to be...you could even do jeans and a cute top....
i don't think they are as "formal" as bridal teas and such....at least the ones i have been to or hosted...
I'm just wondering if it's a regional thing. I guess I feel like most of the showers I go to here are more on the formal side... not necessarily fully formal, but at least a little dressier.
I always wear dresses. At my SIL's baby shower, though, virtually everyone was in jeans. I was baffled!
I would never wear jeans to a baby shower - not even dress/dark denim jeans.
I'd probably wear a dress or a skirt of some kind...
Where was your SIL's baby shower? I'm from the Northeast, and I've never heard of anyone wearing jeans to a shower up there...
yeah....i have no idea....
i can say i have only been to maybe 2 baby showers in my life...and one i hosted....but to both of them, i was in a skirt or dress....however, i think i recall a few guests of both of those showers, in jeans....
Which makes it even more ridiculous that I was in charge of invitations! LOL
LOL!!!! AH! And you weren't told how most people might come! Geez... that really sucks!
I know that was frustrating....
I usually go business casual - a dress or skirt or dresspants with a cute top
I like wearing dresses or something pretty and easy. The last three I went to I wore
1. Navy dress with tiny white poka dots
2. White pants and lilac fitted tunic top
3. Dark jeans and a bright orange sweater (but I also knew the mommy would be wearing jeans)
It depends on the person. But usually nice jeans or khakis and a cute top and dressy shoes/sandals. Oddly enough most showers I've attended were when I was pregnant myself so it was lots of babydoll type tops and capris. I've seen people wear anything from jeans or shorts and t-shirts (that I could never do) to dresses. I would wear a skirt or dress if I knew the mom was usually more dressy.
I really didn't care what people wore to mine (as long as it wasn't something streetwalkerish)... I had tons of other things on my mind. I was just happy they were there.
