OMG that was so stressful that I blocked it out! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364645 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:48:09 +0000 mrs. bird 1364645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hosted BFF's baby shower. it was fun but a little stressful because she went into preterm labor with her twins &amp; was admitted to the hospital the day of the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364636 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:45:07 +0000 sunny 1364636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cohosted a baby shower for one of my best friends. It was super fun, but it was stressful because of the large guest list! I think that's one thing I didn't think about before hand... At least for your own wedding you have control over how many people you want to invite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364571 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:29:51 +0000 winniebee 1364571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have hosted a bridal shower for my sister, my good friend, my SIL, and another friend.</p> <p>I have hosted baby showers for my sister and 2 good friends.</p> <p>It is a LOT of work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364558 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:26:21 +0000 hilsy85 1364558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've hosted a bridal shower. I can't WAIT for some of my friends to start having kids so I can throw baby showers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364557 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:25:41 +0000 mrs. wagon 1364557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm apparently very good at throwing parties... I have thrown several bridal showers and a few baby showers, the latest was last Saturday.... hooooly gosh I was EXHAUSTED afterwards. The older I get, the more ambitious I get because the parties I attend get nicer and nicer... and the less I love throwing them! I would rather die than not throw one for my close girlfriends though, because of my reputation and how hurt they'd be if I didn't offer to throw one for them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364536 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:20:25 +0000 tequiero21 1364536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: yeah, but u get PAID for it!!!</p> <p>Co planned my sil baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364521 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 14:15:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 1364521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, several both bridal and baby. Actually I've hosted 2 baby showers in the last 2 months for two of my BFFs. And I'm done, I'm officially handing off the plannign to others and hopefully will do no more. </p> <p>This last one I hosted was with my BFFs "new" friends in her new city. It has left a bitter taste in my mouth &amp; I wish it would have ended on a more positive note becacuse I have always enjoyed party planning &amp; right now I do not! haha it was just on Satruday though so the "scar" is still new. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364437 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:49:39 +0000 betsyboop 1364437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've hosted 2 bridal showers but no baby showers yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364425 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:45:52 +0000 nana87 1364425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom hosted my sil's baby shower, and I helped her decorate but that's it! Even though I'm 30 a lot of my friends are unmarried or don't have kids, so there's still a chance that I'll host or co-host at some point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364399 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:39:02 +0000 cheert16 1364399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! A bridal shower and a baby shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364398 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:38:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1364398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea its fun but it really is a lot of work. I think the worst is when you co-host and you have different ideas about the party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364395 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:37:19 +0000 lavender 1364395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've hosted my sister's baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364387 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 13:34:41 +0000 Weagle 1364387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've hosted a baby shower and a bridal shower, plus co-hosted many others.

I'm not a very good planner, really, but showers here are usually pretty laid back so they weren't a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364259 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:54:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1364259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I co-hosted a bridal shower, and will (co)host baby showers when my friends start having kids.

I can take instructions and execute easily though. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364257 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:54:07 +0000 GrapeCrush 1364257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I'm planning a bridal shower now....you can take over if you want ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364208 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:44:30 +0000 Smurfette 1364208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have hosted about 6 wedding showers, with other people.

Both for my best friends. The first one all I had to do was show up and be a host because her mom paid for and planned everything (except the games) because we were all broke 24-year-olds.</p> <p>The other two I played a major role in even though I was planning from another state! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-hosted-a-shower-before#post-1364150 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 12:31:35 +0000 NurseMommy 1364150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not yet but I have to host my sister's baby shower in May and I'm SO.
