Would you have a baby shower if it’s more stress than anything?

Question

We would have to have 2 separate showers because it’s basically the Capulets and Montagues. I don’t want to deal with it and I’m thinking of just not having a shower. I’m pregnant with twins and this will be my first babies. ￼

Answer

If you don’t have a shower still make a registry as most give you a completion coupon! And people who want to buy you things have an idea of what you really need/want. I had separate showers for my first, and my mil and mom are wanting to do a joint this time around. Not necessarily the Capulets and Montagues, but more like apples and oranges. I’d honestly rather them give us the money for diapers and stuff we need/want for this baby instead.

Answer

No. I didn't have a baby shower with either of my kids. Didn't want to be around a lot of people and didn't want anyone to buy me anything.

Answer

I’m having 2 separate showers Bc my dads family doesn’t want to travel to me. They’re hosting one and my mom is hosting one

Answer

Having separate showers is pretty common so if that’s the only reason I wouldn’t stress and just see if someone else on each side can host. I wouldn’t host my own because of the work/stress but it’s a fun way to celebrate and get some stuff you need as a FTM.

Answer

I had separate showers for my side and my husband’s side simply due to location and numbers. Also because I wasn’t the host. My SIL hosted one for us (co-ed) and my high school friend hosted another.
