Anyone NOT having a shower....
I live in GA and all of my family and friends are in NY. Travelling with DH will be impossible since we are due Jan 4th (that would mean prime shower timing would be before the holidays, and DH cannot take that time off since he is in retail).
I know the ladies at my job will do something but it's not family and friends.
I know everyone will send stuff....but should I really care about not having one???

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
Are you sure you're family won't plan an early one for fall? I wouldn't rule out the shower just yet!

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
My sister didn't have one. She got everything she needed after myneice was born. Although she was not far from family and friends. I'm sure you will be fine. You probably get tons of care packages.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
Shana, Maybe you can travel home for the holidays and have a shower? Even Thanksgiving?
My friend is in FL now and is due Oct 15th - but she was here last month for a wedding and we had a very early shower for her, because we know we wont see her again til the baby is born.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
When my family was living in FL, all of our relatives were in NY. My mom was preggo, so my grandparents drove a van down to "visit" us. My mom, me and siblings went to church one Sunday morning, and came home and my dad and grandparents had a whole shower set up. Everyone in NY gave my grandmother a gift to bring down. It was a quiet shower, but she recieved tons of stuff and was so surprised. They had decorations and cake.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
What about an "after baby" shower? You could plan something for Feb/Mar when the baby is here!

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
I don't think that I'm having one, because my mother didn't think that she could throw me one (I don't know where she got that idea) and my MIL places more importance on other family events.

Thats such a great idea!! Its after the holidays and that way everyone gets to see the baby!!!
Either that or I would have it earlier then the norm and do it around Thanksgiving time

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
I would probably be able to travel up before the holidays, but I'd want DH to come too. How would I get all that stuff back to GA anyway?
I'm sure stuff will be sent and maybe some family might come suprise me or they might wait till after the baby is born.
I'm not a center of attention person anyway....I was nervous about my bridal shower, so I'm not worried about it, just curious.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
At my friend's shower we shipped everything for her back to FL as part of our gift - plus a lot of people gave money or gift cards.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
With my sisters first baby,
we had a shower in NY (she lives in SC) and she flew in for it!!!
We returned alot of the gifts and she got credit or gift cards and then rebought them when she got home.
Some things were sent to her house and she also got alot of money and gift cards!!!
whatever happens I am sure you will be showered with lots of gifts for your little bundle.

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
I won't have one. My family and friends live in my country and DH's family lives in Colorado... We already got 4 boxes with clothes, toys and books from DH's parents.
I think that I am used to the idea that I am not going to have one but, as others say, you might have one when you come here for the Holidays

Re: Anyone NOT having a shower....
I like the idea of having a shower after the baby is born, this way you can be together with your DH and he can help you with everything and enjoy the party with you.
