Baby shower?

Is it weird that I don’t really care to have a baby shower but I would like the gifts 😅 okay hear me out…. So I’m creating a baby registry and sending it to my friends and family. Who ever wants to bless my little man and I I’ll greatly appreciate…. But I really don’t see myself spending all that money in a baby shower 😩 y’all tell me if I’m tripping

I’m the same way so I don’t think you are. 🤣

Same here. I'm an introvert so I didn't want to deal with people just wanted the gifts to help with the new baby.

I’m the opposite, don’t really care for the gifts I just want a day of celebrating w my closest family and friends 😂 and I love the attention lol

I feel this! I feel so uncomfortable having so much attention on me ever since becoming pregnant. I can’t even fathom how I’d feel if we had a big party just to celebrate and give gifts to me/our baby.

I’m tired just thinking about having a party. 🤣

There’s nothing wrong with it it is your baby and if you don’t wanna baby shower, you don’t have to one It should be. What makes you comfortable and the baby

Would your friend or mum or sister host the party? Where I live usually someone else hosts for you! It could be very lowkey

I don’t want a baby shower either. I made a registry and will be sending the link out to family and friends.

Abit presumptuous to send for gifts and not host something. Covid is done so you can atleast host people who you want to spend their money on your child with your specific instructions.

I didn’t have one last year with my second baby & not sure if I am going to have one for my current baby. Finances & family being in a different state played apart in the decision.

I didn't have a baby shower on my last two pregnancies! Pregnant agen baby no.3 , I wudnt be doing it ju for gifts , if people want to give gifts Dey will either way ! I received loads gifts who ever gave presents we were thankful

Nope! Not at all. We didn’t have a baby shower instead I spent that money on a babymoon to Europe for 2 weeks. We brought a pair of Nike Dunk SB with us and took photos at various attractions. One day we are going to recreate those photos with him. Didn’t care to do a registry either. We got about 6k in cash and some gold coins/chains and a lot of customized clothes and other accessories as presents for him. We bought all the necessary items like stroller, car seat, etc. baby showers are overrated.

i’m doing the same exact thing!! small bbq but fully encouraging people to just order baby gifts or give to me early. i’m really not in a hosting mood right now

I didn’t have a baby shower because I simply did not want to have one. Totally not my cup of tea. I also did not create a baby registry (where I live we don’t really do that). I didn’t expect gifts and presents, but I think that people who truly care about you and the baby will show it anyway and for me non material stuff was the most important - mental support, knowing that I have my own little support network of people who are there for me. Presents are nice but only if they’re given heart-to-heart way, not when people are pressured into giving them to someone, but that’s just my personal opinion.

I was extremely uncomfortable at my bb shower and so I totally get that feeling .
