I wore a maternity top and capris. I went to a wedding that June and wore a maxi dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1536673 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 12:10:28 +0000 annie624 1536673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a shower while pregnant--I just tried to wear something subdued... I think about this type of thing too. I really tried not to overly discuss my pregnancy while there, either! I didn't want to step on the guest of honor's toes... But anyway--i think anything is fine, really. Just don't flaunt that bump too much :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533949 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:54:24 +0000 daniellemybelle 1533949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone knows who the guest of honor is! Don't buy yourself a corsage or anything :) I think it's sweet you are thinking of this though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533929 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:49:45 +0000 looch 1533929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should wear what you feel comfortable in! I think it's really nice that you're concerned about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533920 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:47:18 +0000 mrsjyw 1533920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a big deal at all!

DH's cousin was due 30 days after me so I was just a tad bigger than her at her shower, there was really no "downplaying" my bump and we took pictures together with our bumps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533774 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 08:57:13 +0000 regberadaisy 1533774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: oh, that's a good idea!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533504 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 07:01:09 +0000 tinyperson 1533504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just at a baby shower on the weekend and there were 4 other pregnant ladies there. I didn't notice them till the end (and not because of what they were wearing, just because the focus was on the guest of honour), so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Wear something cute that you feel comfortable in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533462 Mon, 31 Mar 2014 06:03:40 +0000 Andrea 1533462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it either, assuming that she knows you are pregnant already. I don't think you need to downplay your bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533262 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:42:18 +0000 autumnlove 1533262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533249 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:32:42 +0000 Mae 1533249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't be going to any while pregnant... but if someone had been pregnant at mine it really wouldn't have occurred to me to care what she was wearing, unless it was like a "mom-to-be" sash and tiara or something... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533245 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1533245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, sorry I had to laugh at the idea of being "less pregnant" even though I know what you mean ;)</p> <p>My sister was pregnant at my SIL's shower, and she was 6 weeks more pregnant so there was definitely no playing down her bump either - I think they both looked equally adorable. Everyone knows who the shower is really about so I don't think it will be an issue :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533241 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:26:40 +0000 spaniellove 1533241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She'll be the center of attention no matter what...and if you have a noticeable bump it's not like you can realistically pretend not to be pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533223 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:19:25 +0000 blackbird 1533223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A pregnant friend came to mine (same due dates, her second, my first) and it never crossed my mind to tbink about what she was wearing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533219 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 21:17:32 +0000 winniebee 1533219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it just wear something that is comfortable and cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533149 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:45:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 1533149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was due 1 week before my friend, so at her shower we were basically the same pregnant. I wore a black (dressier) tank top and a pair of capris. There was no dressing down my bump. I don't think you have to play down that you're pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533144 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:44:30 +0000 pui 1533144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to my SIL's baby shower last week. I wore maternity jeans and a pink maternity top. I felt kinda bad because I am showing way more than she is (and she's a month ahead of me) but it wasn't a problem. She was still the center of attention! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533124 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:34:59 +0000 Dandelion 1533124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not like wearing white to a wedding :p just wear whatever cute outfit you want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533118 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:30:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1533118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maxi dress with cardigan sounds perfect! I don't think you need to worry about bump showing or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533111 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:28:27 +0000 dolphin 1533111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to play down your bump! Wear whatever you look best in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533109 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:27:27 +0000 Smurfette 1533109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you are over thinking this one. You don't need to play down your bump at all. And I think maxi and cardigan is totLly fine. But showers around here, at least that I am invited to, aren't super fancy. Plus you can dress it up with accessories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533103 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:25:16 +0000 regberadaisy 1533103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: haha I know. But it's her first so I want to make sure she gets ALL the spotlight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533101 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:23:16 +0000 Honeygold89 1533101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is what one of my cousins wore to my baby shower back in January and she was 5 months pregnant with a cute sizable bump (second baby so she started showing quicker) and I thought she was really cute </p> [attach=3750/14/n3a16s.345x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533077 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:07:38 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1533077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No... I wouldn't hide my pregnancy because I'm attending someone else's milestone event. </p> <p>I'm going to a bridal shower on Saturday &amp; depending on the weather, I plan on wearing a maxi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533075 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:07:15 +0000 wonderstruck 1533075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I don't think it's an issue at all - wear whatever cute thing you feel comfortable in! I had a pregnant friend at my shower and definitely never gave a second thought to her outfit, we had fun taking some photos together of our bumps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533074 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:07:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1533074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think anything would be fine. I mean maybe avoid anything too bright or crazy. But a little dress and cardigan with flats should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-wear-to-someone-elses-baby-shower-while-pregnant#post-1533071 Sun, 30 Mar 2014 20:05:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1533071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha sorry, long title.</p> <p>When you were pregnant what did you wear to someone else's baby shower?</p> <p>I'm very likely invited to a baby shower that I'm assuming will be in May. I'm hoping not to spend money on a dress so the only things in my closet that will work are springy maxi dresses with a cardigan.</p> <p>Do you think it's important/polite to down play my bump? My bump is pretty small so that's not a huge issue. ;) But she's tiny too so I think her bump will be small too. :P</p> <p>What did you wear? </p>
