I would not have the two together. Your son may feel that your daughter is already taking all the attention from his special day. Even though he's still young people don't realize what a child remembers, which I'm sure he probably won't remember. I just think it's important to show him that his birthday is special as well as the other guest to show him the attention. Jealousy can start at a very early age.

No, I wouldn't say tacky is quite the word. Perhaps, since your son is only 2, I don't think he would notice the difference of say a few days give or take before or after his actual birthday. However, it might be nice for your daughter not to have to share the spotlight or the attention with her little brother. It's her baby shower for crying out loud! Give her a day in the sunshine. Let her have all the attention that she is deserving of. After all she is a mother too. Would you have wanted to share your baby shower with your sister in law, or worse yet your mother in law?
Give the kid a break.

It is not so much tacky (although people will likely feel obligated to bring gifts), but is really cheating your son. Will you always make him share his birthday party with his sibling's party? Let him come to the shower, he will have just as much fun even if it isn't his party. Then you can have a smaller family party for him to celebrate his birthday.

No, I dont think so. I am assuming that your son's birthday is close to the date that you are due. I think it would be more convenient for everyone to go to one event for both kids. I would focus more on the birthday party then just have like a side table where everyone can bring gifts for the new baby. You dont want to make to much of a big deal in front of your son while its his party.

Ya its tacky cause people coming to the shower will feel obligated to bring him a present even if you say no.. plus its his special day and he will only be that age one year.. give him all your attention and love on that special day.. remember it is the last birthday he will have as a single child.. make it a memory!

My 3-year-old loves parties and she did so at 2. It doesn't matter who it's for, in her mind there's always a part of it that's for her and she always has fun. Just explain to your son that some of the presents and some of the time are for him and some are for his little sister. It's never too early to teach him how to share his parents and toys with his new sibling. Good luck on the new kid!

Yes I think it is a bit tacky. Even though you aren't asking for gifts for him people will still feel obligated to bring him something anyway. I would have somethng for him seperately, maybe even a few hours before the shower starts, just to make it all about him.

I think that if you start to combine the activities now then it will be easier in the future to just continue to do that and your son have have a had time accepting the new one because he'll fell that he isn't "special" any lnoger. You should keep them a seperate thing. Every child should see their b-day as their "special day". I fyou combine them he may not see it that way.

ok, in basic terms hate to be on your subject. Now in the event that they comprehend you're at the instant unemployed, i might clarify this to the sister and if she has different 'huge wigs' she probable has adequate money coming in that on an identical time as you are able to host it, possibly she could make a contribution some money? She could comprehend that it would be a concern on your modern-day subject. and of direction you're appreciative of her hosting the toddler bathe for you, yet you are able to no longer 'go bankrupt' to host hers. And why does a toddler bathe choose an open bar? in basic terms serve some mimosa or bloody marys if mandatory, thinking you don't choose an entire bar. Make the nutrition your self, like finger sandwiches, cheese & crackers, fruit, greens tray,shrimp cocktail if she contributes(?) cake...extremely i'm announcing you do no longer could serve caviar, in basic terms get resourceful with appetizer/tapas. Ah sure, enable me upload your son gets to graduate from intense college as quickly as and no you possibly can provide the money for this up.
