Baby shower after wedding.

Meghan , on May 19, 2017 at 3:30 PM Posted in Married Life 0 16

So I moved up the wedding date from October to July because I'm due in January. Would it be greedy of me to have a baby show rhe same year I'm having a wedding?

    Nope. Two different occasions highly deserving of celebration

    Did someone offer to throw you a baby shower? If so, go right ahead. These are two different life events and they should both be celebrated.

    However, just like you shouldn't throw your own bridal shower, you should not throw your own baby shower. That is rude and comes off as gift grabby, regardless of whether you're having a wedding this year.

    As long as someone offers to throw one for you, I don't see a problem with it.

    I'm due June 11th and am having my shower sunday and my wedding in october no one has mentioned anything about that being too much. Figured I'd just check everything off my list this year.

    I never realized the mother didn't throw the shower! My friend threw her own baby shower last year and my aunt threw jer own. Lol guess I'll cross this bridge if I get to it!

    I got married when I was 18 and literally had a baby shower 9 months later. Don't worry about being greedy...Even in this age, weddings and baby showers still tend to be common events that happen within a close timeline Smiley smile Enjoy your wedding and your new little one!

    I don't think you're guests will see that as being greedy! Two separate occasions to celebrate!

    I had a friend who had a combined wedding & baby shower! It was co-ed, and most people brought gifts for the baby (gave birth in May, got married the following January). It was fun Smiley smile

    If a friend or family member offers to throw you a shower, it's totally socially acceptable.
