Baby shower after multiple kids?

Many of the showers I have been to where there were multiple were women having babies years apart. My mom had a baby shower when pregnant with my sis and was surprised with a baby shower when pregnant my brother 3 years later. Big turn outs for both. With my sis I believe it was because we are 10yrs apart and with my brother because he is the only boy. Now if you are literally popping them out back to back I don't think there should be baby showers done every year.

I have always though a shower, regardless of wedding or baby, is never done by the bride or mother to be. It's a gift from a loved one. So why would it be tacky if someone you love wants to throw you a shower for every baby or, you're on your second (or more) wedding? I declined a wedding shower, I did not decline the bach party; there is no way I'm going to tell my super excited MIL that she can't throw a baby shower for us when it's all she can talk about, from excitement. Gifts are not necessary for a shower to happen.

First baby only. If you keep going you should be able to afford what you need.

On the subject of baby showers, I don't think it's a big deal to have one for every baby, I've always seen that.

Especially if the next baby is the opposite sex

What Angela said I agree with

My FBIL's wife had a daughter from a previous relationship. When she got pregnant her daughter was 15.... so yea she had another baby shower and I didn't find that tacky... she had absolutely nothing. Not to mention safety requirements become out-dated.

When did baby showers turn into charity events? People don't usually throw baby showers because the parents NEED it. They throw it because they want to and if people choose to celebrate it, they usually bring a gift geared towards the baby. I've seen some cool gifts that treated the parents to a spa day, or even cuter a free baby sitter for a chosen date night, but I have never attended a baby shower or hosted one out of obligation or because the parents were in need. If that were the case, the last thing they should be having is a party because there is a lot of money spent on food, games, music, etc. for the guests attending.

I also agree that showers are not about need - they are meant to be a celebration of the start of something new.

So someone throws you a wedding shower to celebrate the start of their new life as husband and wife.

Someone throws you a baby shower to celebrate the move from a couple to a family.

Its not a need - its a celebration just like a graduation to acknowledge change in life status.

Um hey miracle? No they're not. People can be married and choose not to have kids and that's okay. Peace out with your prehistoric ideas and flawed logic.

Personally, I think every baby deserves to be celebrated individually.

I had 2 baby showers for my 2 kids. My kids are 7 years apart though. I didnt keep baby stuff for #2 for 7 years.

I have gone to many showers for 2nd, 3rd etc. I dont see a problem with it

The flip side, I did not get a shower for my first (bad place in my life with my ex). Since I was "one and done" I passed on my baby gear to friends. When I was pregnant with my second 5 years later, my sister hosted a small shower for my closest family and friends (like 10 women) and hosted after he was born as a baby meet and greet. It was a wonderful afternoon and nothing was overboard but I was gifted some wonderful sentimental gifts versus stuff.

Yeah. .baby shower only for first child. .I don't like sprinkles either.
