I'd try and ask the person throwing the shower, before asking the honoree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036864 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:34:31 +0000 Vegmama 1036864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's totally okay to ask for a timeframe. Just a "Hey, any idea when you'll have your shower?" ... She probably just doesn't have a date yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036788 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:17:13 +0000 Smurfette 1036788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036783 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:15:48 +0000 PurplePeony 1036783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with the others, since you know it's happening. I hate when people ask me, though, because I'm uncomfortable about having a shower in general. Plus, my close friends and family all live really far away and I didn't want to presume that any of my newer friends here would throw one. It sounds like they are planning to, but I really want no part in the process so its really awkward to field questions about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036752 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:09:18 +0000 artsyfartsy 1036752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm a first time mommy and I would be thrilled someone is trying to work their schedule to come to my baby shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036736 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:07:00 +0000 MapleMoose 1036736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I don't think it's rude because she knows about it. I had people asking me and I didn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036731 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:06:08 +0000 mediagirl 1036731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since she knows that she is having one and knows who is throwing it, I say it's okay to ask. I had people asking me before I knew I was having one and before I knew who would throw one and I felt awkward about it all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-okay-to-ask-a-first-time-mom-to-be-when-her-baby-shower-might-be#post-1036721 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:04:30 +0000 Rubies 1036721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend is pregnant and I know that her cousin is throwing her a baby shower. She knows it, too, so it isn't a surprise or anything. However, no date has been mentioned and I would like to fit it into my already busy schedule. Is it appropriate to ask her or is it rude? </p>
