Opinions Please :)
Here's the whole story so you know what's going on:
My friend had a baby in August 2008. Her and her husband weren't planning on having another baby, so she got rid of some of her big items like the stroller (which actually got recalled and by that time her son was older so she just got a stroller for a big kid). She still has the crib, but it's set as toddler bed for her son.
Her and her husband got divorced. She started seeing a new guy and now she is pregnant, due in August. She asked what I thought about her having a baby shower. She would like to have something for her boyfriends family and also, she would like to let people know if they want to get her something, these are the things she needs.
She's thinking a diaper party, making it a group party (guys and girls), and including registry information.
What is your opinion? It seems to be a debate on having a baby shower when the kids are closer together in age.

I don't think you should get a baby shower when you already have a baby. My cousin did it and there was about 7 years btw the last one and the one she was having and I thought that was tacky. Maybe if the guy's mother or sister wants to throw one for her because the baby is going to be his first, then that would be ok and I would just invite his "side" not her friends/family that went to her first baby shower.
MTE!
Maybe this. I guess I'm kind of old school and if I wasn't married and already had a 3 year old, I would think it's tacky. If his mom wanted to do something very small, like a lucheon or something I might considerate it. I would never invite my friends or family.
Ditto Kelly.
My family threw a baby shower for my cousin's wife. It was his first "baby" although he has all but adopted her child from a previous relationship. (I think her son is 10 or 11. He has raised her kid since the child was around 2 or 3.
