Possibly will have what you want.
Why don't you ask instead of presents as you will have pretty much everything... for everyone to bring their favourite childhood book with a little message on the inside from the guest, so you can read your baby their favourite story?
Then those wanting to come and bring something are contributing to your little ones nighttime story and your not being given lots of stuff you already have ❤️❤️ xx

I'm 36 weeks and I had a suprise one on Saturday. It's never too.patw to have one

I originally had my baby shower scheduled for March 11th for an April 7th baby…he came on March 19th! I’m glad we moved ours to February when I was about 32 weeks.

What Hollie said I agree with that'll be cute! And if not any clothes given could be of a bigger size so you got some for later? Or even the essentials (Nappies, wipes etc)

It’s never too late! Just be sure you keep your registry up to date so they know what you still need. Anything you don’t want to wait for you can buy and remove from the registry.

Most moms back 20+ years ago had baby showers when they were due and some had it months before. I had mine a month before baby and it gave me enough time to get gifts put away and have everything organized but i also had the first grandchild on both sides so it was ALOT to put away. If you don’t feel you can get it all organized alone don’t be afraid to ask for help. You don’t have to have anything ready until about 2 weeks before your due date unless you absolutely want to or have a feeling baby’s coming early. I would just get your hospital bag done, a diaper caddy, bottles if needed, and your recovery stuff for your bathroom plus some easy access outfits for you and baby. Honestly you just have to do what makes your life the easiest and most relaxing, all that baby is gonna need is you to be happy.

The latest I’d say is July 15th 2023 for us expecting in August 2023

I’m wanted to have mine July 8th, but my event planner booked me for July 1st due to space, baby is due August 16. So you should be fine ❤️

My momma had me before her baby shower so I was at my baby shower lol. And my due date is August 8th too lol

I had mine 10 days before my due date x

My aunt is throwing my cousin’s girlfriend a baby shower this weekend, even though her baby was already born over a week ago. If you want a baby shower, it’s not too late. However, if you’re nervous about the baby arriving early, turn it into a sip and see.

Diapers and wipes will be good for them to bring ! I'd so all sizes.

i wouldn’t say it’s too late! i work in nicu and i occasionally see moms who end up having preemies and have their baby shower after birth anyway!

I didn’t have a baby shower till i was 34 weeks and I went into labor at 38 weeks. All I had before the shower was her crib, dresser, stroller/car seat, and a few random things I had bought. It’s completely up to you but I think you’ll still have plenty of time to get things ready, just buy what you think you’ll need and leave some things for people to still buy on your registry.

Mine is 7/15 and I’m due 8/22. I went ahead and built my registry and made it public. I’m hoping people buy stuff sooner than the shower and have it shipped since it’s all online anyway (Amazon and Babylist). I find the whole opening presents in front of everyone kind of boring anyway so not planning on doing that

My daughter arrived 31days early, she was in the NICU while I was at my Baby shower.

My baby shower with my son was March 2nd and I was scheduled to be induced March 11th. It’s never too late to have a baby shower. And as others have stated, if you already have everything you need, have people get bigger clothes, diapers of all different sizes, wipes, books, etc.
