They also had thrown me a work bridal shower and that one I really was completely surprised for. It was awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840709 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 14:00:54 +0000 yellowbird 1840709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840707 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 14:00:06 +0000 Mommy Finger 1840707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you count my work one, than it was a surprise. But I figured it out beforehand. I'm sneaky like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840698 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:52:13 +0000 rattles 1840698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two planned showers with my first, but my aunts threw a surprise, family-only shower for this LO while on a family reunion trip. It was couched as a girl's happy hour but was a surprise shower/sprinkle for me and my two cousins who are also expecting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840693 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:49:27 +0000 birdofafeather 1840693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! i knew about the dates and times. i like surprises, but not like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840668 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:34:13 +0000 anandam 1840668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was completely clueless.

That was a surprise. But my friends and family shower was not a surprise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840583 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:09:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1840583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my first, yes.

I knew about both of those. Then my work threw me a surprise shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840564 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:02:41 +0000 Cole 1840564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live out of town so my shower wasn't a surprise even though that seems to be the family tradition. My bridal shower was though and I knew it was going to be one of a few times/dates but nothing else. I only had one shower though and my mom, moh and mil coordinated addresses, guest lists and other details. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840540 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:57:07 +0000 .twist. 1840540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: HA Yes.

They told me we had a meeting that day, which I had no reason to disbelieve. (Although I spent most of the day pissed that I had to go to a "meeting"!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840532 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:55:08 +0000 lawbee11 1840532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm a control freak so not a huge fan of surprise parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840530 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:53:37 +0000 annie624 1840530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work shower was a "surprise." However, they had done a similar thing in the past &amp; one coworker asked me if I was going to be "around" on such-and-such date. So I kinda had a feeling. I would have been totally disappointed if it had turned out to be something else. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840524 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:52:17 +0000 Adira 1840524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You already know my answer, but I was very in the know about mine. My mom involved me in the date, guest list, location, etc. Pretty much everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840511 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:48:46 +0000 snowjewelz 1840511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family and close friends know I hate surprises so they would not try to spring one on me! I dictate when &amp; where lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840485 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:42:32 +0000 Boogs 1840485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I knew about mine. Was kinda hoping for just a little surprise sprinkle this time. No gifts, just a little celebration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-thrown-a-surprise-baby-shower#post-1840463 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 12:36:06 +0000 BSB 1840463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spin-off on my last thread. </p>
