Thank God, cause I am a huge control freak. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2091459 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 13:30:36 +0000 NeekieRose 2091459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no because my actual shower was not a surprise, but work did throw me a surprise lunch shower and that was really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2091000 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 10:15:44 +0000 Mamasig 2091000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I hate surprises and warned my family not to try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090949 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:53:56 +0000 pearl 2090949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "its complicated" because I had a normal shower, but my work threw me a surprise shower. It was SO sweet, and so much fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090854 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:17:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2090854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aside from the surprise shower my coworkers threw me at work, my family one wasn't a surprise. I didn't want my family having to figure out how to surprise me...so much easier knowing about this one. They surprised me for my bridal shower and that was enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090850 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 09:15:16 +0000 Alivoo01 2090850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My BFFs wanted to make sure they accomodated our schedule since at the time, both DH and I worked 7 days a week. Work let me know in advance when they were throwing me one also because they wanted to invite DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090719 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 08:09:23 +0000 lilyofthewest 2090719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. We were already hosting an event, and it ended up being dual purpose. It was almost a surprise. I knew my co-host was making a cake, so I got really suspicious when she freaked out about be walking through to put in a load of laundry while she was decorating it. And then someone tried to sneakily stash a present on our front porch, not realizing that I could see them out the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090688 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 07:29:52 +0000 Adira 2090688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coworkers threw me a surprise one at work. But my regular one with friends and family was NOT a surprise. I definitely wouldn't have wanted to be surprised, like others have said. I wanted to pick out my outfit and do my hair and makeup for it. Plus I liked having a say in the menu and I got to make sure everyone I wanted to invite was invited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2090654 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 04:00:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2090654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - I know when both of mine are and had to help with picking dates that work wih my schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2089103 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 19:32:29 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2089103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always thought surprise showers were mean because the Mom-to-be goes a long time thinking none of her family and friends want to throw one for her. I know when and where mine is but thats it. My friends and family are keeping everything else a surprise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088382 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:17:25 +0000 rattles 2088382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not with DD1 - I had two lovely showers, both of which I knew about. With DD2, I didn't want a shower (I felt gift grabby since family and friends had just gotten us baby gear a couple years prior). My cousin was expecting her first at the same time I was expecting my second, and our family threw us a surprise shower while at our family reunion. They said they didn't tell me because they didn't want me to protest being included. It was sweet, but I still felt guilty :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088364 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:09:50 +0000 psw27 2088364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my friends told me and I didn't know much about the venue or theme. I loved my shower, it was small and adorable. I agree with PP, I wanted to have a cute dress and my hair done and makeup on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088357 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:07:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 2088357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my friends surprised me with the theme (once I got the invite in the mail) but otherwise I knew when they were, I wanted to be dressed cute, have my camera ready for pictures, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088351 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:02:31 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2088351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I always wanted mine to be a surprise. Now I'm reconsidering. I think it's stressing DH out since I have no family or bffs here to plan it. (Besides his mom.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088349 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:00:17 +0000 Torchwood 2088349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Mamaof2 that I would have been upset. I wanted to be all dressed cute and everything, and I love looking forward to things. I would have been sad to have missed the time to enjoy looking forward to it. I'm also someone who has to plan things; spontanaity stresses me out big time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088347 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:58:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2088347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm a control freak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088344 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:57:43 +0000 Mamaof2 2088344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I was tired and huge and would have probably been upset if it was. </p> <p>I liked knowing so I could shop for a cute outfit and look nice that day :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-your-baby-shower-a-surprise#post-2088337 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:55:18 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2088337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wondering! </p>
