Early November? If you did it at the end of October it wouldn't be winter themed so much, I don't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274417 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:13:09 +0000 anonysquire 274417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: That is true! She has never shopped during black friday though (crazy I know!) I asked her about it this morning and she seemed really uninterested. She just threw me my wedding shower in May and I wanted to do this for her really bad. I really hope she lets me :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274407 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:01:09 +0000 birdofafeather 274407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due jan 15 and we're having my shower end of October because of the holidays and work schedule. Ideally I would have liked to do mid-November but timing didn't work out. I'll be 29 weeks which is fine too! We wanted to avoid december at all costs! Also, if she still needs stuff after her shower, she can take advantage of black Friday and other holiday sales! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274336 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:58:55 +0000 anonysquire 274336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: Love that! </p> <p>@looch: Good point, Holidays are super busy!</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: Love babies in white too!</p> <p>@jessiejo17: Thanks for the input! I am thinking around 32 weeks will be perfect.</p> <p>Thanks everyone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274335 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:56:53 +0000 anonysquire 274335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oh that is a great idea!!! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274302 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:17:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 274302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 30-34 is perfect timing for showers, it gives the mom enough time to get the remainder of items after showers are done &amp; she's (hopefully) not worried about going into early labor at this time. The only issue you will run into is the holidays, it might be difficult to plan around that time. </p> <p>I love the "Baby, It's Cold Outside" or something with snowflakes. You could have some really cool but affordable decoration ideas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274299 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:16:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 274299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love babies in white and I think about white for winter snow! It would be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274283 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:04:23 +0000 looch 274283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be a bit unsure about doing anything during the month of December...people are always complaining about being so busy, esp. during the holidays. </p> <p>Maybe the first weekend of December? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274271 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:51:28 +0000 regberadaisy 274271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: @junebugmama: love those two themes!</p> <p>I think 32-34 weeks would be a good time putting into account the holiday schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274244 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:12:14 +0000 junebugmama 274244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my shower at 34 weeks and I was huge.</p> <p>"Little Snowflake". It would be great to hang tons of snowflakes from the ceiling and put them on the table etc. It could easily go boy or girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274241 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 07:02:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 274241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ArtBee: I love your theme idea!</p> <p>I had a shower at 36 weeks (I am currently 38/6), and I think between 30 and 33 or so would be perfect. My bump is on the smaller side, so I was still okay to get around at 36 weeks, but I was really swollen, and it was hard to make it all the way through the late-afternoon-early evening shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274238 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 06:58:04 +0000 heffalump 274238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun! What about a general winter theme, maybe "baby, it's cold outside?"</p> <p>I had my shower at 33 weeks and I thought that was a good time. I had a nice big bump which is what people come to showers to see, and it was early enough that I wasn't super uncomfortable and I had time to take back gifts if I needed, set up and put together things, I wasn't freaking out about not having time to set up the nursery, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/theme-for-winter-babyshower#post-274208 Wed, 29 Aug 2012 02:53:53 +0000 anonysquire 274208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok my sister is due Janurary 21, how far in advance do you usually have the shower? Everyone lives close by who will be invited if that helps. </p> <p>Also what are fun themes for Winter without being too Christmasy? </p>
