Do you think it is wrong to throw yourself a baby shower? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. kimcook1985 (693)   ranked 406 out of 12,117 in parenting4 months ago

I was going to throw baby shower for myself next month. My husband thinks that it is wrong. He says that someone else should do it for me or I shouldnt do it at all. I dont really have anyone to throw a shower for me but i really want to have one. Not for the gifts, but for the experience and to have the pictures to put in the baby book. I mean i will appreciate anything i get and it will help a lot but that is not the reason that i want to have the shower. I dont see anything wrong with it. Do you think that it is wrong?

I don't think it is wrong. You are not violating any law and there is no law forbidding someone to throw shower for themselves. If I'm near your area, I will volunteer to sponsor such a shower for your baby. But then, I'm too far away so I guess you can call some near kinsfolk or friends and suggest them. As long as you can afford, you can always do that. Congratulations for your baby!

Why doesn't your husband do it then?


myLot reputation of 93/100. kimcook1985 (693)   ranked 406 out of 12,117 in parenting  4 months ago

I dont know. Good idea but he wouldnt even know where to start.

If you have a few close friends but just don't want to ask them yourself, have him mention to them that he wanted to do something nice for you but not sure how to do it.

Maybe they'll help him, or decide to do it themselves.

I have nevr heard of anyone throwing themselves a baby shower before. I guess there is not anything wrong with it. What about your mom or your husbands mom would they be willing to throw you a baby shower? Maybe your husband would agree to that.

My mom lives about a thousand miles away and my husband's mom lives in another country.

it's not wrong what so ever. You should definitely throw yourself a shower, especially if no one else is planning on it. You deserve it, so do it. good luck and congrats on the soon to be new baby. God bless

I think if you are throwing one expecting gifts it's a bit strange...maybe you could include on the invite to bring no gifts and that it is just to have fun and celebrate, you'll seem less needy then...are you sure you have no one to give you one? Your husband should be throwing you one, you could get around the whole gift faux pas that way maybe, but anyway, congratulations!!

Hi kimcook1985! I really see nothing wrong with it. I think anyone can always have her own shower party. If it is me, I would not really mind at all if I am the one who is going to host my own shower party at least the people I am going to invite are the people who I am close with. Take care and happy mylotting. God Bless! happy

I see nothing wrong with you wanting to throw yourself a babyshower but if your husband thinks someone els should throw you a baby shower that tell him to do it after all he is the daddy to be and a babyshower is always best when its a soprise so tell your husband to throw you a babyshower or let you do what you want lol

I don't think it's wrong to throw yourself a little baby party to celebrate the baby on the way - especially if it's for the fun of it, rather than to receive gifts.

Baby showers aren't really done here in Australia but my cousin decided to throw herself one, i actually thought the way she did it was greedy because as far as i can tell, she only did it so she could get away with not buying a lot of the things for herself! She did other things to give me the thoughts though:)

If you want one but really don't have anyone to throw it for you, then i reckon you should just do it!

Maybe you could call it just that - a Baby Party - invite some friends for games, drinks & stuff like that, then if you get anything it will just be an added bonus!

I don't think it's wrong. EVERY mommy to be should have a shower. If the friends and family around you won't do it.. why not you? I say go for it

Maybe your hubby knows something you don't though.. maybe someone is planning a surprise shower
