Selfish to have another shower for #2?
posted 7th Nov
Would it be selfish? I have an almost 18m old son and 23 wks preg with boy #2 so I was thinking since I have everything already I would just have like a bring me diapers party? What is the technical name for that party? I dont know if it is selfish so yay or nay?

If you put just diapers on the invitations for a diaper shower I don't see a problem. Or you could do a meet the baby party after baby is born

It's not selfish, most people want an opportunity for people to gush over their new baby and a shower is just an invitation for that to happen, no matter what kind of shower it is. If diapers is what you need then make it a diaper party. If you don't really need anything at all then make it simply a meed the baby party.

in my opinion two same sex children that close together is tacky. Even if it's just diapers, just my opinion though.
if you want to celebrate this little one do a meet the baby party when he arrives that way people don't feel like you are asking for gifts

I'm sure my sister would do it but I would just tell her rather than a shower I would want to have a diaper party with diaper raffle

People have baby showers for their 2,3,4,5+ baby. Don't worry about it!! Just do it.

I always had a baby shower for each kid. With number 2 I didnt need anything big so everyone just got me diapers & basic stuff (wipes, shampoo, little gifts). My family does showers as a way to get us all together & catch up, its about having fun together not the gifts

My family is chock full of babies. We celebrate each and every one. I've never seen any of my family say anything about eachother. As in it being tacky. We enjoy them

Our daughter will be 19 months when DS is born next month. I was told that it's rude to have a baby shower when they are that close. i didn't ask for one, the information was just randomly told to me by a few people.
maybe do a meet the baby once he/she is born?

If it's rude then the people that think it's rude won't come. Honestly.

I would go with the meet the baby-type party after... ask for diapers only on invites... and maybe you'll get some more. i know some people who comment when somebody has a 2nd shower... so you never know. women. lol
