Just go and be happy for the mom-to-be and her baby! Every mom deserves a special day with friends/relatives wishing her the best. It's really a kind thing to do for the mom. It's a time when she needs a bit of support, as it's a time of great change and anticipation. Maybe a bit of nervous apprehension, too.

I've never heard of anybody throwing themselves a baby shower. Depending on how well I knew her or how close I was to her, I would get a gift and go.

Thanks for all your views. I was gone yesterday and couldn't get back here.

No, I don't know her very well. I didn't realize showers were given in librarys. Never heard of it.

This woman is the wife of an employee of my husbands. She gave the invite to her husband to give to my husband to give to me.

Mary is the mom's name, not the baby's name. I did use a fake name in this thread though.

I didn't go because I hate showers, not because she was having it herself. It would have been really uncomfortable for me since I really don't know her.

It didn't matter to me who was having it, I just wondered if it was proper now days.

I was planning on giving a gift anyway whether she had a shower or not.

Thanks again!

To give a shower for oneself is so beyond anything proper that to attend is to approve of this obvious gift grab. If a person can't afford to provide for a baby then they shouldn't bring a baby into the world.

Someone please respond to occasional rain's response. I just don't have the words.
