I only have 4 to 5 friends in the area I live in and I really want a babyshower.?

Question

Should I have one or just forget it. None of my family can make it. What if only 2 people show up? My husband tells me not to have one.

Answer 1

I say have one!!! This is a fun time to celebrate the new little bump and get some mommy time before bump gets here. You know, today we have so many people that live far away from family :( and many ppl want to give a little something to bump and mommy. INTERNET rocks for these little inconvieniences. If family/friends out of state want to get a little jingle from your babiesrus registry, cool! I say have your 4/5 OR TWO friends show up at your house (yes, :0 I said it, YOUR house) and get a pedicure lady to come over and treat you girls. make brownie and punch. Girl, keep it simple but take some pics so little one and mommy have a blast! Happy Belly!

Answer 2

It is considered bad manners to throw your own baby shower.  Ideally, a close friend or a relative throws one for you.  They can invite any acquaintances you have.  They can invite their own acquaintances, too.  Perhaps your family from back home could throw you a shower.  Could you make it home to visit for a weekend?

Answer 3

you could always invite all of ur friends n family regardless of whether they can make it or not but do something different... maybe have a shower on video so u can make those guests who send a gift but do not come to be apart of it. OR u can just put it on the internet while ur at the shower and hook up a webcam and let them watch u so  they can not only see how beautiful the shower is but see u opening their gifts...It will be the new baby shower fad lol it may be a good idea so that u can still have a baby shower experience and ur family can be included as well. Maybe u can propose the idea...if not then good luck with everything, but a baby shower is a wonderful experience regardless of the gifts... its the idea of celebrating the life of a baby. If there is a way ur relatives can make it in town after u have the baby maybe u can have a welcome baby party a few weeks after u get home... just like a baby shower but the baby will be there....

Answer 4

just have a  babyshower dinner. invite a few friends.  have a few nice favors.

Answer 5

you might just want to do a big party instead of a conventional baby shower and invite men and women, more like a potluck or a gathering at a restaurant i am military wife and most of my friends opt to do that because we barely know people.  maybe that way you can meet new people and you will not celebrate alone.
