Baby shower vs welcome home party ?

Question

Anyone having a welcome home party after baby is born so everyone can meet baby.. Or just a baby shower .. And what are some themes everyone is going with ?

Answer

I thought about the welcome home party or like meet and greet sort of thing...but I don't like the idea of a bunch of people coming at once to meet my brand new baby..too many germs...too much commotion, just the thought is overwhelming lol

Answer

The only thing I don't like about a welcome home baby party is, people will still come even if they're a little sick. A baby's immune system is barely building and I don't like the risk of everyone passing around my newborn!

Answer

We were going to do a welcome home party then tbe more I thought about it... I was dead EXHAUSTED with my daughter. There's no way I would have felt up to cleaning the house (even with hubby helping) and get my daughter ready and get myself ready and get baby ready and be up for a few hours of socializing with a bunch of people.

Answer

I'm doing both but no gifts for the welcome home unless of course they want too.

Answer

We're doing baby shower. We have a family wedding in October, so most who hadn't already met him by then will meet him around 6 months. I don't want all the germs around that early, plus I know I won't feel like entertaining.

Answer

This is my first baby and I am doing a welcome baby party. I have 2 elementary school boys, so germs are already plentiful. There is more of a chance my kids getting the guests sick. 
I am pretty phobic about being the center of attention, so this way the baby will take the heat for me.  I was not planning a theme, just appetizers and snacks with cookies or cupcakes. 
I was planning a drop in over a 3-4 hour period.
