Would it be weird to have a joint baby shower with my sister in law who is due 2 months before me?

Question

I live 12 hours away from my family & will only be there for Christmas before the baby is born which is when she was to have her shower. I guess I'm just mostly worried that our personal friends may feel obligated to buy us both a gift? What do you think?

Answer 1

No my brother's girlfriend (at the time) and I had our baby showers together: ) They are no longer together but she is still family and the mother of my niece.  

Answer 2

Not weird. But keep in mind that your guests may feel obligated to buy you both a gift. Make sure you communicate with the guests that a gift is not necessary to purchase a gift for you. Unless you would like gifts, then keep in mind that some people may not be financially able to purchase you both gifts at the same time.

Answer 3

i wouldnt cuz ur baby shower u r the center of attention. my hubby is gone and i never see anyone so im excited for everyone to fill my head with empty compliments just to make me feel better.lol

Answer 4

They should definitely not buy somebody they don't even know that well a gift. I wouldn't be offended by it if I was her and didn't get a gift from them. They are there for you not her.

Answer 5

No, go for it.  It seems like that would be fun. What u can do is sat up a table for her and for urself as far as the gifts go, so that way ur friends and her friends aren't obligated to buy both u some gifts. Because that would be akward if her friends brought u a gift and they don't know u that well just the same with ur friends. So try that and have for me too. I'm not having a baby shower with my 3rd because I didn't with my other two. Good Luck!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

I don't think so at all!  Sounds like lots of fun to me.  The more the merrier!

Answer 8

NO! I am due 4 1/2 weeks after my sister and we want a joint shower....it seems like it would be fun:-) GOD BLESS!!!

Answer 9

naw its a cute idea, and so long as neither of you mind NOT getting gifts from eachother's friends...just let your friends know they have no need to feel obligated, but if they were feeling generous, extra gifts would be much appreciated!
