When registering for baby items, it's a good idea to think of the things that you need, rather than things that are extras. What items do you absolutely need to take care of your baby? Things like a crib, mattress, bottles, blankets, grooming kit, high chair, car seat, stroller, etc. Also, register for items in a range of prices. Not everyone can afford to buy big-ticket items.
Some common items to register for a baby shower include diapers, baby clothes, bedding, bottles, a stroller, a car seat, a high chair, and a baby monitor. You may also want to consider including practical items like a diaper bag, baby bath products, a breastfeeding pillow, and baby-proofing supplies.
Both parent's names should be included on a baby shower invitation if the party is a couple's baby shower (sometimes called a coed baby shower). Otherwise, only include the mom's name. For examples of couple's baby shower invites, see related link below.
yeah it don't hurt anything and this 2nd child deserves its own baby shower I don't know if your meaning if it should have the same baby shower as the 1st child or if this baby should have a baby shower altogether and like if you can't afford it then get family and friends to put too and stuff and then this 2nd child will have its own stuff and also it will help you out a lot as well
Declining a baby shower invitation should be done properly and delicately. For tips, see the related link below under "How do you decline a baby shower invitation".
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.
* It's an individuals choice and a second baby shower is acceptable. Afternoon baby showers are generally the most common.
A shower for a baby boy and a shower for a baby girl are both termed a "baby shower". There are different party themes that you can do for a girl baby shower. For example, you could throw a princess baby shower, a pink baby shower, a cupcake baby shower, a flower baby shower, a ladybug baby shower, and many other themes. See related link below for more inspiration.
* The best thing to do is communication with your daughter-in-law's mother to see if she would like to give a baby shower and if not, then let her know you would like to give the baby shower. Generally the friends of the daughter-in-law will give a baby shower, but it's always nice when the mothers get involved. Both mothers could work together for a surprise baby shower.
I would plan to have a baby shower after the first trimester, preferably the second. I would start ordering about a month before my baby shower date! Hope it helps

If the shower is a couple's baby shower, then the father's name should be included on the invitation. While not the norm, couple's or coed baby showers are gaining in popularity as today's dads are becoming more involved in raising their children than in past generations. For a couple's baby shower, male and female friends of the couple would be invited to attend. If the baby shower is only for the mother-to-be, then the father's name should not appear on the baby shower invitation. In this case, usually only female friends and relatives of the mommy-to-be would be invited.
