Baby Shower Etiquette
PROPER ETIQUETTE
Years ago, baby showers were never hosted by a family member.
This practice was thought by most people to be tacky, appearing
as if the family was asking for gifts. Thankfully, that
tradition has changed where now it is acceptable for family
members, friends, or co-workers to host the shower. The only
exception to this rule is that the parents should not throw
their own shower since this is considered inappropriate.
Regardless of who ends up hosting the baby shower, it is
important that they spend time with the expectant parents to
determine the individual they would like to invite and the types
of gifts needed most. Additionally, it is highly recommended
that the soon-to-be parents register the gifts at their favorite
stores. With this information, the host can make sure invitees
know where to shop and can provide recommendations if needed.
