I’m having two of them one of which will be out of town for my family only and the other will be in town for friends. When should I start planning for them?

after you become pregnant
before you have the baby and after you know the sex
Not too late in your pregnancy. You will be way too tired to throw a baby shower if you’re 8 months pregnant. Sometime around 5 or 6 months pregnant. Congrats!
Start planning them about 6 or 7 months (or when you know the *** of the baby so people know what type of stuff to get, but then have it around your 8th month. That’s what most of my friends did.
Congrats!!!
Usually baby showers are given within 2 months of your delivery date. OR around your 7th month of pregnancy. That way mom isn’t all tired out with carrying baby around and can enjoy the shower.
Start planning now that way the time won’t get away from you. You will also have time to wait for a sale on things you will need for the party’s. Also it won’t look rushed and the things you do do will have a more put together look. Because you have more time to do the things you have to do.
As soon as u find out what your having.congrats and good luck
any time during your last trimester ,have the one for family last so what ever your friends don’t get give the list to your family members lol and congradulations.
If you already have the date of the shower picked out,I would say at least 1 month before.And send invitations out 1 1/2 weeks before.
I threw 2 for my younger sister. She wanted to have a “birthday party” for the baby that included close friends and family only after the baby was born and she was home.
Her first shower was when she was about 7 months pregnant and was for her friends and coworkers.
The birthday party was thrown about 3 weeks after baby girl was born and was for CLOSE friends (her maid of honor at her wedding and godmother of daughter) and family. We had a blast!
as soon as you find out what you are having
You don’t throw your own shower, your friends and family will take care of it for you. Usually people have a shower about one month before their due date, that way if you happen to miscarry you won’t have a bunch of baby stuff around reminding you about it.
There’s a running joke in my circle of friends that if you have a shower in your last few weeks it will bring on labor, b/c that’s happened to four of my friends. We usually have it around week 34 to 36 to be on the safe side. I’d plan it a couple of weeks before that time.
You shouldn’t. It’s very rude to host your own baby shower.
That said, usually a baby shower is held about six weeks before your due date. That way, you have some things in case you go early, and you have time to assemble stuff or make returns or buy anything you still need.
A good time to plan a baby shower will be around your 7-8month. Some woman do their baby shower after they have their child so people will know what the *** of the child is. It up to the mother which is about to give birth. But some, people try to presssure the mother to do it before she has the baby.
It’s usually custom in our family to have a baby shower around the 7th month of pregnancy. I went to a friend’s shower once that was scheduled in the 8th month, who ended up giving birth early - so on the day of the shower, she was in the hospital! If you are planning on finding out what *** the baby is, a baby shower beforehand is best. If you don’t want to know the sex, I would suggest having a “welcome baby” shower instead. You’ll probably be discarding all the greens & yellows once the baby is born.
when the mother is about 8 months pregnant
i would do one in the hospital after you have the baby!! abd one right before!!
I hope someone else is doing the shower for you. Its not polite to throw your own shower. No matter how much I wanted to participate in the planning, my sister-in-law would not let me. Its the same principle for a wedding shower, someone does it in your honor. If someone hasnt volunteered already, you need to designate someone to coordinate it.
Best time is up to you. Most times is at your 34-36 week time frame.
The best time is about maybe 8 weeks before giving birth.That way if you get a stroller or any furniture you are garenteed time to set it up.
you want the shower to be during your early 8th month/late 7th month. So start planning around 5 or 6 months so you have the details worked out.
