I was so surprised and appreciative! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1449026 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:44:40 +0000 derevival 1449026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been lucky too. Work hosted a wedding shower and it was a total surprise; my husband and I were extremely appreciative of the gifts and money. A worker friend is going to host a baby shower for me. We tend to do this for everyone, which I think is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448952 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:27:41 +0000 Corduroy 1448952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, they threw me a great shower with games and onesie decorating, two diaper cakes, DH, it was nuts. They gave me a gift card for the exact amount of a pump. I thought that was awesome, I would have been weirded out if I had to open a pump in front of everyone. DH's coworkers had a lunch for him and they actually bought me my pump. Even better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448950 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:27:38 +0000 LuLu Mom 1448950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, but i did invite the ladies in my department to my baby shower (and I was invited to theirs as well.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448948 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:26:46 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1448948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my department threw me a baby shower on my birthday!

It was during school with all my kids and their parents. So sweet :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448911 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:14:34 +0000 dolphin 1448911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! For both! For my baby shower they sent me over to the Peninsula for a pedicure and then they met me for afternoon tea there. It was lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448896 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 15:09:50 +0000 Adira 1448896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wedding - no (but I worked with only 3 other people at the time), but baby - yes!!

Definitely not necessary, not a big fuss, it was really sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448796 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:40:19 +0000 littlek 1448796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They would have but I went into preterm labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448746 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:25:32 +0000 mrsjazz 1448746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They wanted to and I asked that we just do something within our department because I had been to enough awkward work showers. We went to Shake Shack, saw a movie, and they gave me presents. It was perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448745 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:25:14 +0000 MrsH 1448745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked them not to have a baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-work-throw-you-a-shower#post-1448744 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 14:25:11 +0000 MamaMoose 1448744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.
