thinking as to whether or not having a baby shower for chloe as didnt have one with james and obviously chloe is the last baby and whether anyone would be interested in it

just some honest opinions please ladies x x

as i said in text hun, cool idea but it's such a rare thing in the uk(it's an american thing) im not sure too many of the girls would be up for it

I wont be able to make it Carmel x

I dont get baby showers if i am honest, i thought they were thrown for you as a surprise?

could be wrong tho

Yeh I thought the same as Jo - you don't usually organise them yourself - its normally friends that do it as a get together to give you their gifts as a surprise, rather than inviting people and expecting them to bring a gift.

I agree with Jo and Lisa. I've found some info on Wiki if you want some more info.

Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child, and only women attended. The original intent was for women to share wisdom and lessons on the art of becoming a mother.[citation needed] Over time, it has become common to hold them for subsequent or adopted children, and/or invite men as well. It is not uncommon for a parent to have more than one baby shower, such as one with friends and another with co-workers.

Because the party centers on gift-giving, the baby shower is typically arranged and hosted by a close friend rather than a member of the family, since it is considered rude for families to beg for gifts on behalf of their members.

My sister had one and I felt it all very false and lets face it american....
We're british so generally not big head braggers lol
Personally I never bothered, and tbh wouldn't IF I had another!

Enjoy yourself if you do organise one and anyone comes
