* It's an individuals choice and a second baby shower is acceptable. Afternoon baby showers are generally the most common.
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
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
A big shower--no. A small shower, yes...she still needs boy stuff!
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.
Of course you can.
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.
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 more of a fuss made over the first child as far as baby showers, but there are no rules in etiquette if you want to have a second or third baby shower for the same expectant mother.
* 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.
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.
Traditionally, a baby shower is only meant for the first baby. However, we are seeing more people have showers for subsequent babies, especially if they did not have a shower for the first baby, the second baby is of a different gender than the first child, or if there is a large age gap between the babies. A baby shower for a second or third baby is sometimes called a "sprinkle". Typically, the hostess will try to invite guests that have not been to the previous baby shower.
