It was awesome! I also had a friend at work organize a party and everyone contributed to a gift card. That was really sweet of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004163 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:38:23 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1004163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom was the mastermind behind everything but said it was from my SILs. I would have rather it been from my SILs as they wouldn't have made it such a huge deal. I also received a very generous one from the gals here at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004158 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:37:24 +0000 regberadaisy 1004158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChattyCathy: ha!</p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I don't think that's weird at all. I invited a few friends and even close co-workers to my one non work shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004145 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:34:49 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1004145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom will provide a lot for us. She just refuses to throw the shower because we aren't very social to start with. Neither of us have many friends &amp; we're not that close to our coworkers to invite them. My brother &amp; SIL live 4 hours away.</p> <p>What bugs me is I'll have to invite my small group of friends &amp; family to the shower thrown by the aunts. No one else does this. Usually the mother-to-be brings her bff &amp; mother &amp; that's it. It feels so awkward inviting my people to the shower they are throwing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004142 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:34:24 +0000 ChattyCathy 1004142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and sister will throw me a big shower involving my family, friends and coworkers. My in laws might send a dirty onesie if I'm lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004135 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:33:40 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1004135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: pretty much the same as you.. We bought all the nursery furniture ourselves. My mom bought our travel system. My nana surprised us with the mamaroo &amp; pack n play. My MIL got us the britax carseat. We got the smaller registry items at my shower.</p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: my mom &amp; sister hosted the shower, but my now-SIL helped with everything too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004115 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:30:28 +0000 Bao 1004115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's coworkers threw us a surprise one before we moved back home, then my mom, sister and SIL gave me one and DH's mom and aunt gave me a shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004083 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:26:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1004083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: honestly most of our big items were covered by ILs (nursery furniture), my mom ($ + swing) and siblings (car seat, stroller &amp; $). Out of the family shower and work shower we got a lot of clothes and small things off the registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004082 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:26:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 1004082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL/SIL co-hosted one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004080 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:25:27 +0000 Smurfette 1004080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1) Friends hosted one for friends<br /> 2) My sister hosted one for family<br /> 3) my boss organized one at work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004077 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:24:55 +0000 avivoca 1004077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My college friends are throwing me a shower. I'm not sure if my mom/sister are doing one, and we might get one or two from our jobs (my husband's boss has said they are having one for him, but I don't know about my office). So for sure, we're having just one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004067 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:23:23 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1004067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: it will be held at my MIL's house so pretty much my MIL is doing it but they always say from the "Aunts".</p> <p>ETA: Step MIL. She is basically his mom. His real mom is crazy &amp; will not be allowed near us or the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004063 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:22:29 +0000 swurlygurl 1004063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family/friends are in a different state than where we live with DH's family/friends, so I had 2. My SIL and BF threw one, and my cousins threw the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004054 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:20:46 +0000 regberadaisy 1004054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically my MIL and our really good friend. But my SIL/mom also contributed $ towards the restaurant bill. I only had one shower bc my side doesn't do showers.</p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: your MIL isn't going to throw you a shower....but DH's step aunt is? Maybe MIL will get you a big gift? What about your mom and/or siblings/sibling in laws? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-hosted-your-baby-shower#post-1004043 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 12:17:30 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1004043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's Step aunts throw everyone a baby shower. They are the ones that threw my bridal shower. My MOH had a hard time even doing my bachelorette party there was no way I was getting a second shower from her or my mother. Same goes with my baby shower my MOH &amp; I are pretty much not talk &amp; my mom refuses to throw me a shower. I might get a small shower at work...maybe. </p> <p>Did you have a baby shower? Who threw your shower(s)? This may sound selfish but I'm getting nervous about only having one &amp; expecting twins. </p>
