Re: Showers

I've enjoyed myself at showers, but I resent the fact that they are female-only. I think that's pretty outdated at this point, and frankly, they tend to add up as another reason to spend money on the bride. I think they can be fun if done as an event with alcohol and more chill, rather than a "let's sit around in a circle with all your great aunts and open presents and share stories about being brides!" Baby showers are kind of fun for new mothers, who are usually and understandably excited and anxious about having a kid and being pregnant, but I don't support them for baby two or three. And gender reveal parties seem like an attention-grabby excuse for us to celebrate your pregnancy a little more than necessary.

At least for baby showers, they're having more "jack and jill showers" where both men and women are invited to celebrate the upcoming birth of the baby.

One of my friends held a "sprinkle" for her sister's second baby where it was basically just the grandparents and and siblings and the friend's sister's very closest friends, I think there might have been a total of 10 people there.

I know some people who combine the gender reveal and the bay shower so that they don't do two parties.

Basically it comes down to a matter of personal choice.
