Expecting 3rd Child

by Toni
(Greenwood, SC)

I am expecting my third child; however, it has been 10 1/2 years since my last child, and we have NOTHING. My friends want to throw a baby shower. Is it appropriate since it has been so many years since the last child?

Our Answer:

Hi and congratulations on baby #3!

Every child deserves to be celebrated, and you are well within etiquette bounds to allow your friends to throw you a baby shower. You are going to be needing a lot of help getting the supplies after such an age gap. You have great friends to want to help you out with it!

Good luck with the new baby and the baby shower!

5TH BABY SHOWER
by: Anonymous

Is it proper etiquette to have a baby shower for every child you have, this person is on baby #5 and has had a baby shower for every child ranging in ages 10, 7, 5, 2?????

hi and congrats on the new baby! Im in the same boat, Its been over 5 years since I had my last baby, and now a new one on the way. I held onto almost all my baby stuff until about 6 months ago when I gave it all away to a friend. wasnt sure if I should have another shower or not...
