Ok so my fiance and I were planning on getting married on 08-08-08 .. But we just found out that we are going to have another baby ... Sometime In early June!! I was thinking as to kill 2 birds with one stone and do something that I haven't heard of .. Having a Wedding/Babyshower sometime in May!
My mom says that she thinks that its not a good idea .. But I really like the idea .. BUT people say twice the gifts .. but then again thats twice the money .. twice the food .. twice paying for the place .. twice the cakes ... its just alot more twices .. lol and 2 days so twice the parties and what not .. But then the way I see it is .. NO ONE I KNOW has done this so it would be diff.. So What do you think???

Just wanting to let all the rude people out there know that it was JUST AN IDEA. Secondly How dare you say it's rude to have a babyshower for a Second baby? Doesn't every baby get to have that nice little photobook of their special day before they arrived? So go piss off .. Second Im not talking about having a WEDDING SHOWER and a BABY SHOWER on the same day ... IM TALKING GETTING MARRIED ON THAT DAY IN THE AM AND THE PROCEEDINGS WOULD BE A BABYSHOWER/AFTER PARTY FOR THE WEDDING. So get the facts straight! Thank you too everyone that had negative remarks but in a kind way and too everyone that thinks this idea is alright or good .. MY FIANCE AND OUR 2 YEAR OLD SON DO LIVE TOGETHER AND HAVE LIVED TOGETHER AS A FAMILY FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS. So don't give me the whole advertising my sons wedlock .. If common law was still around we would technically be married!

Sounds like a good idea to me... I wouldn't mind getting 2 different presents for something like that, but thats just me. Have fun with that and CONGRATS!
P.S.
There are no rules on the number of baby showers that one can have so don't listen to that b.s. Especially if the babies are different genders. But every baby is special and deserves to be celebrated.

I too think it's a good idea. This is my second, and i had a babyshower. But since my first was 7 years ago, and i don't have ANYTHING left from the first i had to start over, and it was nice to get my family, and friends together cause a lot of not seen the ultrasounds, or i don't get to see them often. Good luck hope it goes well!
I'm just wondering why it's not good to have a shower for more than one child? Why does it make a difference?

I understand your point. However I would not do it.
Is it your first marriage? All of those events are very important and just wonderful, why not to have them all , they do not happen in life too often. Have a baby shower. Make it not too expensive and save your money for the wedding. Then have a baby in June. And have your wedding on August 8 as planned. You will look beautiful in your wedding dress and I am sure you will have plenty of babysitting options on that day.

ok, first of all, no one has done that before because it is extremely rude. most people dont have showers for 2nd children, even though it is more common now for people to have babies before marriage i would be embaressed to just openly advertise it as a way of asking for gifts and lastly it is rude to throw your own shower for anything! wedding or baby. someone other than you or your mom is supposed to do it. not being mean on purpose, but where are you from? how old are you? and do you and your fiance already live as a family with your first child? if so, you shouldn't have a wedding shower at all.

I think it is a GREAT idea.
i never had any baby showers or wedding shower or housewarmings either for that matter.it really hurt my feelings, and my kids are now 17 and 18 years old.
It's your life, take charge of it. tell your mom what YOU want.
shower in april or may and get married 06-07-08.that is almost as unique as 08-08-08.and include the children in the service.
even if they are too young to remember, there will be pictures, and one day they will be proud to have been included.
best wishes and my prayers go out to you tonight

I think you could do this. Have people bring food to the shower and have the shower some where local like your house or some place like that so that way you only have to spend the big lot of your money on your wedding. :)

It's a little tacky. I was going to a bridal shower and my friend asked me what I was bringing and I said a stroller, ha ha ha, it was a joke.
Well it's new times, there used to be a lot of etiquette surrounding things like this, like your family is not supposed to throw your showers (looks like begging for your family) but family members throw showers all the time now, so that's pretty much out the window. Maybe you'll start a new trend.

It's not good etiquette to have a baby shower for your 2nd so I would keep it separate or just have the wedding and that's it.

you only get one baby shower. that's when you have your first baby. since this is number two, it's kind of tacky to expect another. sorry.
