January moms: shower question

I know this seems really early but When do you think you'll do showers?  I've had a couple people ask me since it'll be the holiday season if I'll have them earlier than normal, during the holiday season, or after baby comes. I had no idea.

Re: January moms: shower question

  • B was supposed to be born Jan 3rd, so we had my shower mid-November

  • One of my best girlfriends delivered on Jan. 5th and we held her shower in mid-November as well. We did a Christmas decor theme and it was really beautiful.

  • I'm due 1/24 and my mom told me she's planning to do my shower 1/4, so it'll be after the Christmas/New Year's craziness.

  • We're doing mid-November because of how hectic the holidays are.

  • I think I read that anything between 28-34 weeks or so is normal.... So we're going to avoid the holiday season and do early November.  Tentatively planned for 11/9

  • I was due January 7 with my first and my shower was on November 6. It worked out perfectly before all the holiday craziness.

  • I actually was talking to my mom about this the other day. Like other PPs have said, probably in between mid- and early-November. :)

  • I was due 1/11 and I had a shower in November and two in December. My last one in December was cutting it a little close.

  • R was born Jan 10th and I had my shower Nov 3rd. It was perfect because I was big enough but still comfortable.

  • Mine was later. We did it the first weekend in December because my aunt insisted everyone would want to Black Friday shop for my gifts. She's a little nuts though.
