I don't have sisters or close cousins, so I did not have a shower from my side. My MIL hosted a wonderful shower &amp; many of my family attended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower/page/2#post-1442082 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 22:25:46 +0000 Espion 1442082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They did...but I wasn't there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower/page/2#post-1442071 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 22:19:59 +0000 autumnlove 1442071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower/page/2#post-1442037 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 22:01:26 +0000 jhd 1442037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a family shower for our wedding or for baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower/page/2#post-1442030 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:59:17 +0000 Ellie 1442030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope :(<br /> I was a wee bit bummed because I threw one for my sister and my SIL in the past, but both had reasons not to throw me one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1442022 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:54:02 +0000 Greentea 1442022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never had any showers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1442016 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:49:59 +0000 lemondrop 1442016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not wedding or baby, its really not my family's kind of thing. My IL's did for both, I'd have preferred not to, but it's the norm for them so I graciously accepted and had fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441965 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:24:14 +0000 MapleMoose 1441965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom hosted and invited both sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441958 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:22:33 +0000 Grace 1441958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, but it was super small (maybe 10 people) and happened after LO was born. It was really nice and low-key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441937 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:06:11 +0000 birdofafeather 1441937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, my SILs threw me one. (and then 2 friends threw me one for locals ladies) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441872 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 20:28:58 +0000 Glitter 1441872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two bridal showers. My SIL threw me one and my sister threw the other - long story. Now my SIL is planning my baby shower in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441474 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:39:40 +0000 HabesBabe 1441474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I only had one shower (thank goodness!) and my MIL hosted it with some of my girlfriends. My mom came to it and provided some goodies, but she wasn't involved in the planning. I had two showers for my wedding and it was more trouble than having just one with everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441470 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:37:56 +0000 MrsRcCar 1441470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mum and aunts always throw my showers. My family loves to have parties and get together(s), so pretty much any reason is time to party. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441458 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:34:39 +0000 dolphin 1441458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my friends did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441387 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:05:11 +0000 Smurfette 1441387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!

But my mom was going to host (for my family, my in laws, and my friends). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441375 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 16:00:16 +0000 mlm2934 1441375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's family didn't do a shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441363 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:56:21 +0000 yoursilverlining 1441363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH did - I think my mom told him he wasn't suppose to, so it was technically hosted by my mom and his mom....after he planned it and invited everyone :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441354 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:50:33 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1441354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two bridal showers, one hosted by my aunt in another city for that side of my family that lived closer to her and one hosted by my BFF for friends and other local family members. We did something similar for baby showers, but it was more like my mom and friends hosted the local one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441317 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:37:47 +0000 cmomma17 1441317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL hosted one that was for friends and co workers (super fun, but not enough food!). My sister and mom threw a family one, and it was too much stress. I wanted one shower for everyone, but my family refused to work/share with my very easygoing MIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441315 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:36:21 +0000 pui 1441315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family did not throw me a bridal shower, but DH's family did. I think it will play out the same way for a baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441304 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:34:28 +0000 bhbee 1441304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in my mom's circle family doesn't throw showers. my mom's friends threw my main shower which was in the area where I grew up. I had a very small shower at work and that was it, and was plenty.<br /> for our wedding the same friends of my mom's threw one shower, and a friend of my MIL threw another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-family-throw-you-a-baby-shower#post-1441301 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 15:31:57 +0000 preggomeggo82 1441301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my MIL threw one locally for her side of the family.
