Is it common to have 2 baby showers? One for moms side of the family and one for dad's side.

Question

Answer

I had three. I didn't ask for any of them of course. My husband and I live 5 hours away from my parents and 7 hours away from his family. So my SIL (brother's wife)threw one here for our friends and my husband's sister surprised us with another one in their hometown. Then my husband's workers and coworkers threw one after baby was born because he was born early. Everyone waited ten years for this baby so they were all so excited. My baby is four months old and people still come to drop off gifts. We didn't have to buy ANYTHING. I see nothing wrong if people are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Answer

Why not have a larger one and invite both families?  We all have different situations but I think it's a good time for all the family to be together =)

Answer

Between my husbands and my work and then a "back home" shower and a shower where we live now.... We ended up having 4.

Answer

I'll probably have 2 or 3. My husbands dad and step mom live 6 hours away. So I'll probably have one there with them. Then I'll probably have one where I love with my family, friends, and husband's family.

I think my friend only had one and 99% of the guests were friends. I don't believe her or her hubby has any close relatives.
