i was wondering when it come to baby showers when its not your first child… my cousin and i which we are more like sisters are due around the same time… its her second child and my third but my second passed away so i got rid of all baby stuff i had… and we were thinking of throwing each other a shower and do it together so all the family only had one shower to go to… does any one think this is a good idea or have any ideas

Yes, have the shower together, my sister and I did that and everyone thought it was great. I would have someone else in your family "host" it, though, that way it’s not like you’re throwing your own shower.
I don’t think it is a good idea because the family would have to get two gifts really close together. They may want to spend more on a gift, but since there is two of you, they might buy two less expense gifts that you don’t really want or need. On the other hand, it would be really cool to share your shower with someone you love.
Some people will say each person needs 1 shower. But it doesnt really matter, I think thats a great idea to have both of your showers at the same time. You can save on money when you buy decorations, food and such just doing it once.
I say it’s a good idea. Some people would say no since you both already have children (I’m so very sorry about your second, by the way) but it probably depends on how long it’s been since you or your cousin had your last child and if you still have a lot of things from that one.
But, I say if you want to have a shower, have a shower. Who cares what other people think. ;o)
That sounds like a good idea to me! You should also include some games and stuff like that.. I think you’re ‘crowd’ would enjoy the shower more. Anyways, good idea!
I think if you do it together it’ll be akward for other people just because… since you have nothing people might buy you more stuff but in fear of hurting her feelings may feel obligated to buy her more things… or one of you will feel like they got less than the other… and i think it would just be akward you know… but do what you feel is right of course!
