2nd Baby..Shower?

Question

Okay, so my daughter is 4yo and since we didn't think we'd be having another baby, I don't have most of her stuff & what I do have, is completely girl themed (clothes, toys, etc). Well baby boy is due in July, and some co-workers have brought up the idea of having a shower. Is this okay? How do I go about mentioning this or do I at all? I am in desperate need of everything!!! A shower would be fantastic, but I don't want people to feel obligated. Thank you in advance for any & all advice.

Answer

I think people should have baby showers with each baby.... Idk where it came from that people can only have one for their first baby.

Answer

I think u should have one foe each baby. Each one is worth celebrating

Answer

My mom said with first baby only I think you should do it for every baby just cuz my mom only had one doesn't mean i have to. A baby shower is for celebrating the baby and to help mom and dad with things they don't yet have! I think it should be done for every baby

Answer

I would say if they are offering, there's no reason to decline. It's only poor etiquette if you are asking, or throwing one for yourself, in my opinion. 
We just hosted a shower for a co-worker who is pregnant with her third. She had been divorced, remarried and 6 years between her youngest child and this one. 👍

Answer

A shower is to typically welcome the mother to motherhood, so since you're already a mother you really shouldn't have a second shower. 2nd+ showers are extremely tacky & gift grabby. I know no one in my generation pays attention to etiquette since I see people having 3 & 4 showers & even throw them themselves...But my generation (and beyond) is full of selfish assholes so it really shouldn't surprise me...

Answer

If your coworkers have offered, then I think it's okay, but if you register, I would be sure to have a wide variety of prices represented. Not sure if you had the same coworkers before, but I won't be accepting a second shower from my family and friends. Thankfully we kept items but even if we hadn't, I would still decline. I'm not super into etiquette, but I also don't love showers (for me or anyone else) so I don't want anyone to have to deal with it again. We will do an open house when baby is born. I won't register so people can do whatever they're comfortable with.

Answer

If they want to throw you a shower I would say graciously accept! For my second child (7 years after my 1st baby/shower) the only shower I had was the one thrown by my coworkers. If people want to celebrate the upcoming birth of your child welcome it!

Answer

My mom also said first baby only it was intended to share information and gift items to first time mothers because they may not know what they need and what to expect but if your coworkers are giving heck yea
