Baby Shower Question

[hamandeggs]

I would like to hold one for a friend. At what stage of pregnancy is it appropriate? What are the do's and dont's? Any tips appreciated.

Any ideas?

Some friends thre one for me when I was 8mts pregnantand it was wonderful.There are loads of ideas on the net.
I,unusually had mine at my house (usually smeone else hosts_ but I was locked upstairs whilst they decorated the place and got food ready.
They are usualy very girly with fairy cakes,sweets etc etc but have to say mine included a lot of wine and no fairy cakes
I was very lucky and got some super gifts-all pampering stuff for me...

My friends held one for me - they had a cake made with my scan picture on but the best gift (I requested NO presents that cost money) was an album, in which everyone who attended wrote a few words/poem. I was given the finished album the other day and I was in floods of tears with emotion, it was beautiful and will be truly treasured for the rest of my and my ds's life

a friend held one for me when I was about 8m. A very girly sunday afternoon tea party with loads of homemade cakes )she is Austrian and they seem to do cakes very well )
It was lovely
You can do games - I did for my SIL "What's in the nappy?" - different smelling things in a nappy to guess, "Guess the Girth" (of the pg lady obviously )
Have fun
