Mumsnet Talk

Hi all, I'm thinking of organising a Baby Shower for a friend in the next couple of months. Don't hear much talk about baby showers these days and am wondering if it's just not done too much any more. Am feeling a bit short on ideas so any suggestions as to what we could do or good contacts would be much appreciated! Thanks so much.

I don't think they've ever been 'done' much in the UK tbh, they didn't really catch on here.

They're quite an American idea I believe as in the UK we seem to celebrate much more once the baby has arrived. Saying that, why not organise an "afternoon tea" for your friend with close female friends and family. That way if someone wants to get her a gift they can but won't feel that they can't join in if they don't. Good luck!
