Baby Shower for Second Baby?

Is it rude? It's been 5 years since my son was born. I've gotten a couple different opinions from various people but I'd like to ask an unbiased audience.

It's not rude as long as you understand it's equally not rude for your invited guests to not buy a present. (Understanding about the flexibility of etiquette should go in both directions, right?)Most importantly, congratulations on your second pregnancy! :)

My first 2 were both boys 2 1/2 years apart and I had a baby shower for each. The only person that said something to me about it was my aunt. And ironically enough she just threw her daughter a baby shower for a second son.

I had one with my first and the second one I didn't since she was born 2 years after and I had everything. This time it's been 7 years so im having one because i have nothing lol

We are having a second "shower" my MIL is hosting and insisting. She didn't get to have one for our first, and our older child is a girl, baby 2 is a boy. We are also looking at a double stroller and new crib so she says we have to have a shower. Also we are doing this after baby boy is born (probably April) so everyone will get to meet baby too

A baby shower is for things you need it's ok to have one for each

I think it depends on how much baby stuff you still have vs how much you need. Like if you have gotten rid of everything because you didn't think you'd have a second child, or if your 1st is still young enough to be using most of it, or if all you have is boy stuff and youre now having a girl, then it's fine. But a baby shower isn't just about getting stuff. It's about celebrating the joy of a new baby. Who wouldn't want that. You can always just do just a diaper party if you don't need furniture or clothes or any of that.

It's entirely up to you, everyone does it differently. I'm having a gender reveal party for my second which really isnt any different than a baby shower other than announcing the gender lol
