Expecting 3rd Child

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!
