Court house weddings don't require a lot, just show up neat, clean in whatever you like and behave like adults, ie, don't be cursing and carrying on. If someone is throwing you a shower it should be a bridal shower, the baby shower should come closer to the birth of the baby, like when you 6+ mos. There usually isn't much choice to to type of ceremony, it's decided by the judge or Justice of the Peace, who ever is presiding over it. You get to make the choices if you have a wedding.

I got married in a courthouse a few weeks ago, I wore t-shirt and jeans. We said our vows and signed the papers. It wasnt very special so dont expect it to be. Our real ceremony with the dress and cake..etc.. is in January We're having a wedding shower in a couple of weeks. The baby shower will come later in the spring. Hope this helps!

My wife was well past two and a half months along when I married her. So, tradition went right out the window. I asked the church I'd been attending to marry us and they refused on the grounds of "Appearances." We were married in the rose garden of a restaurant and a friend officiated. He has his sea captain's license as well as having been ordaned a minister. The restaurant? A theme restaurant -- a French farm house set in WW I ( I'm an historian). The bridal party were all dressed in appropriate attire for both the occasion and the period.
What kind of "showers?" Both a bridal and a baby shower.
Just don't go head over heels in debt over the wedding, you are just starting your lives together. Make it special, make it memorable, make it lovely (I dunno, can a guy say that?) and most of all, enjoy it!
My best to the two (and a half) of you!

Good for you! Don't have a traditional wedding later - this is your wedding, whatever the circumstances. Just remember that you are doing this for your family, and are not being selfish while giving up all the other "stuff".

you can have both of the showers together if you want, because people might not want to thro two showers for you within months apart
