Joint wedding reception/baby shower

Those are two different celebrations that deserve separate parties.

I wouldn't combine them. Both deserve their own time to shine.

I don't think you should combine them. First of all, you shouldn't be throwing your own baby shower. Secondly, the point of a wedding reception is to receive your guests and thank them for attending. The point of a shower is for the guests to shower you with presents. The focus of your wedding reception should be to thank your wedding guests and treat them well, not expect them to give you presents for your baby.

Idk why people have to be so negative on this site sometimes. If thats what you want to do, go for it! The pandemic had changed many things anything goes at this point, ad you know after postponing four times. I think you could plan it so it’s fun and a celebration of both life events

I agree with others, I wouldn't combine them

View Quoted Comment I agree with this! I can’t imagine the stress of having to postpone 4(!!) times, so you should do whatever makes you happiest. Anyone that would celebrate your wedding would celebrate your baby. Do whatever is best for you! And congratulations!
