Whether an expectant mother is married or not really is irrelevant. She will still soon be a mother and would surely appreciate a baby shower card that wishes her health and happiness for her new baby just like any other mother would.
A baby shower for an unwed mother is very appropriate. She will probably need more help than a married mother would. Be sensitive to the fact that the baby's father may not be in the picture. For instance, a bib that says "I love Daddy" would not be appropriate.
The focus of a baby shower is on the mother-to-be and her baby. The father or baby-daddy or whatever is generally not present, married or not. Just keep the focus on the right things -- the positive aspects of parenthood and new life. The shower is not a proper time to create any bad feelings or offer any opinions on lifestyle.
There should be no baby shower or necessity for a baby shower card for a surrogate, a woman who is carrying another woman's baby in her womb (usually for profit). Since she will not be raising the infant, there is no need for baby gifts unless they are intended for the real mother, in which case any baby shower given should be for that biological mother.
There is no reason a mother can not give a baby shower for her daughter. However, generally one of her of her girlfriends may do this, but you could have a baby shower for the relatives in the family or simply decide to have the baby shower for her. Either way is etiquette.
Strictly speaking, a baby shower should be hosted by a female friend of the Mother- to Be , NOT her mother. A formal setting with Mother as hostess eliminates a lot of girlie giggling, gag gifts and fun. Please leave it to the girls, and you and your daughter can have a special brunch or luncheon in your favorite restaurant , and you can give her your special gift then, and also provide a special Mother/ Daughter moment for confidences and advice [if asked] , and reasssurance of your love and support.
If the mother does not attend her own baby shower that demonstrates that maybe she is too busy to go to her own baby shower.Though I have never seen a mother not attending her own baby shower,it is possible.The only thing I can say about that is that she should have attended it.
Nope, only if you are married to him
There are many examples that once can use to find the appropriate wording for baby shower invitations. These includes sites such as Storkie, as well as baby shower blogs and forums.
Yes the bilogical father will get the child .
A couple's shower involves guests of both genders (a regular baby shower ususally involves the mother-to-be and female guests.) A twin baby shower celebrates the birth of twins.
* You congratulate the mother to be with 'I'm so happy for you and I hope I get to see the baby.'
