Personalized baby gifts makes it possible to make it personal. Personalized baby gifts foster individual creativity and individuality. They are great for all baby occasions: baby presents, baby shower gifts, baby holiday gifts, baby birthday presents, baby's first photo opportunities, future holiday ornament creations, and religious occasion gifts. Personalized baby gifts are excellent resources for digital scrapbooking and baby keepsake memory boxes as well as scrapbook albums. Personalized baby gifts let family, friends, and associates know that their likes, tastes, and interests were taken into account when the gifts were created and designed. Personalization is a way to show that the individual's preferences were kept in mind.
Yes you can - see a lawyer (I am one)
The first baby is the first experience for the new parents and friends and family want to celebrate. However, as far as etiquette you can give a second baby shower for a second baby.
The mother or sister of the young woman expecting a baby can have a baby shower if they like. Often it is a sister that can arrange a baby shower and your sister will probably have another baby shower at work or by one of her friends.
It depends on the family and friends of the woman having her fifth baby whether they want to have another baby shower for her. There is no set etiquette for this so a woman can have one or many baby showers for each child.
Baby showers aren't an Irish custom. But my grandmother had several superstitions against tempting fate and giving baby gifts before the safe arrival of the newborn was one of them. Customs and superstition notwithstanding, the etiquette rule is that one should not throw a shower for a relative as it makes the family appear greedy.
By the rules of proper etiquette, you can't. It isn't up to you if you have a baby shower or not. This is a party given for you and your future arrival by family or close friends that should only require you showing up. If you do not want/need one you can ask them not to give you one and offer an alternative instead like ask for money to be put toward cord blood banking instead of gifts. Just don't be shocked when no one listens or thinks you're a total witch.
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.
