Baby Shower or No Baby Shower?
My BFF is pregnant with her second child, which it is another girl! She doesn't want a baby shower because she has everything. I know her and I think part of the no shower deal is because she is shy, she doesn't want the games, and everyone starring at her.
Now, granted, yes typically you don't have another baby shower after your first born. But I am debating, should I throw her one? This child is due in summer, whereas last baby smack in the middle of winter. So, I know she could use some summer onesies, diapers, and GCs for formula. If I do throw her a shower, I want it to be super casual, no games, just more fun few hours with girls.
So, yes or no to throwing her a shower? Then if yes, what are some ideas that are easy! Plus probably not going to do it at anyone's house, mine is not suitable for a party.
Re: Baby Shower or No Baby Shower?
I know showers are frowned upon when the baby is the same sex as an older sibling but I say go ahead and have one. Invite her close family and close friends only so it doesn't seem like she is just wanting more gifts.
I am not sure where your located but if you have a McAlister's Deli near by and they have an extra room that can be closed off you may see what it cost to use it. I know it is free to use the extra room at the McAlister's in Stillwater as long as you by their drinks.
