Am I weird for not wanting a baby shower? ?

Question

I seriously do not want to have a baby shower!! Id just prefer to buy all of my son's things myself I'm halfway through my pregnancy and I have a closet full of clothes already..people think I'm crazy but I'm definitely not having one. What do you ladies think?

Answer

I'm exactly the same way! I didn't do a wedding shower, and I only had 5 people at my wedding. I've been getting a lot of hell over not wanting a shower--I'm selfish, I don't care about my friends/family, I need to do it for the baby...

Do what you want, and try your best to ignore other people.

Answer

You're not weird, but honestly you probably should have one. It gives you the chance to celebrate your pregnancy w/ friends & family. It's something that you should experience because having a baby is such a joyus & beautiful thing. It's your decision tho because it is your baby. I would embrace it tho if anyone close to you wanted to throw you one. :)

Answer

It isn't weird! You could just have a baby shower for the sake of a party to celebrate and spread word of mouth that you don't want gifts and don't register...

Baby showers are meant to be parties, gifts aren't required. Same with weddings.

But no, it isn't weird.

Answer

No I don't think you're weird. I mean people tend to lie and act like they do it as a celebration of blah blah blah but we all know if they knew no one was bringing gifts they wouldn't have one. If you're buying everything then there is no need.

Answer

Hey it's all up to you. If you don't want one don't worry about what others say.

Answer

It's fine either way, I personally would just want to have it. One thing you can consider is a diaper party. Have everyone bring you assorted packages of diapers,  maybe make it into a gender reveal party if your into that

Answer

no, its totally normal. i didnt want one either and then a friend hosted it for me and i had so much fun!! if someone wants to host it for you, id say let them. baby showers are so fun!

Answer

No I didn't want one lol

Answer

Baby shower isn't a must. Your not weird I know a friend who didn't have one coz she didn't want one. Same as you she got everything herself before the baby was born

Answer

I have zero desire for one. I'll make a registry if people want to buy me things and purchase the rest. I'm way too superstitious though about counting my hens before they hatch. Especially after having a previous miscarriage.
