I’m currently expecting my second,and it’s a boy. My husband and I aren’t wanting to do a baby shower just ask our family and friends to provide gift cards so that we can buy diapers and other things we might need. I’m trying to figure out a way of wording that so that it doesn’t sound demanding. Any ideas how to word it?

Do you want to have a registry at all? I think most people assume there is no shower for 2nd baby. I would put together a register with a few things and a lot of gift cards.

I have a small registry with one or two things. I haven’t really added anything because I can’t truly think of what we need since with my daughter a lot of what we registered for she didn’t really use

Some throw baby sprinkles instead of showers after their first. You can say something on the lines of gifts aren't required but if you feel inclined diapers, wipes and gift cards would be appreciated. Some people also just throw diaper parties where everyone brings diapers/wipes. I hope this helps

We were considering a sprinkle but my family is about 5hrs away and I don’t really wanna travel during the winter. So that’s why my mom mentioned maybe just doing a post on Facebook
