Baby shower?

Question

Is it inappropriate to have a shower for your second child? I have a 8 year old daughter from a previous relationship. My husband and i are now expecting. Just wondering if its still inappropriate to have another shower...i could see if it hadn't been so long and if it were the same father...i dont want to be rude or anything!

Answer

I'm having a shower and this is my third, although I didn't have showers for the other 2. My SIL is pregnant with her 2nd and she did have a shower for her first but We're doing a joint one because we're only 7 weeks apart. If u want one, have one xx

Answer

My youngest is also 8 and I see nothing wrong with it lol!

Answer

You should for sure have a shower for all babies. Also for the fact I'm sure his family would love to come to celebrate.

Answer

It depends on who you ask and how sttong on etiquette you are. I would never have a second baby shower because everything I've been taught says a baby shower is only for a first time mother. Some people think every baby should have a shower. In the end it's up to you so you just have to decide whether you think its appropriate and if your friends and family would be supportive.

Answer

I had a shower for my second baby and they're 21 months apart. Both boys. People are excited and want to buy the baby things. Let them 😄 I'm definitely having a shower with this one as my youngest is now 6. All my baby stuff is long gone

Answer

I was told if it's a different gender it's cool and if it's more than 5yrs then it's cool. I'm having one because I'm pregnant with my third and it will be almost 9yrs between my second and third when I'm have this little one

Answer

Typically, in my area, it's frowned upon to have more than one shower - but A) I know that mentality is totally regional and B) I think even where I live, considering it's been 8 years and it's your first baby together, a shower is completely appropriate. Congratulations on your growing family!!
