It's generally more acceptable to have a baby shower (or send a gift) after the baby is born for four reasons:

  • Some women lose their baby unfortunately, so it's best to wait and be sure all is well. Some pregnant first time mothers are superstitious that if they receive a gift before the baby is born something will go wrong with giving birth.
  • If you have a baby shower before the baby is born the young mother to be may feel extremely tired and uncomfortable and not as apt to enjoy the baby shower.
  • Having the baby shower after the baby is born is far nicer because then everyone gets to see the baby and the new mother feels a little more rested and enjoy her baby shower.
  • Once the baby is born you know if it's a boy or a girl and it's easier to buy a gift for the sex of the baby.

More baby showers are given after the baby is born, but there are a few people that may have baby showers before the baby is born.

If you receive an invitation to a party to meet a new baby do you bring a gift when the invitation says no gifts?

You should always follow the request of the host/hostess on the invitation. You could buy a nice card for the parents to welcome their new bundle of joy. If you know them very well then you could later send them a gift for the baby, but do not bring a gift to the party.I would send a gift seperately, a baby gift cake is a good option, they are practical and look stunning too, http://www.gifites.co.uk have a lovely range.


Do you send the hostess of your baby shower a thank you note?

Pick some amazing baby clothes as gift at kimibear。comYou should always thank someone for a gift.When the gift itself is a thank-you, you don't want to drop into an endless cycle of thanks. This is when I pick up the phone and express my gratitude by voice.That gets the point across without engendering another thank-you for my thank-you.
