Random baby shower question.

[glitzy07]

I am not pregnant, but hope to be in the next year sometime. So this is really just an random question I thought of when reading the post about the diaper party.

This would be a first pregnancy for me, but a second child for DH as he has a 6-year-old son. I know that etiquette says you should only have a shower for a first child.

If someone decides to throw me a baby shower (which I would obviously not request), would I be that super tacky person who seems gift grabby since it's technically a second child? Or am I in the clear since it would be "my" first.

What would you think if you were invited to said made-up future shower?

I wouldn't think anything of it - it's YOUR first child, why should you miss out on a shower because of what your H did previously?

It would be fine with me since it's you as a couple's first child.

I am DH's 2nd wife but it was my first marriage and I had a bridal shower.

you're in the clear since it's your first

I have few exceptions for a second shower. This is one of them. Also the fact that his son is 6 is another exception.

It's your first baby, totally fine

Thanks! That's what I was thinking, but I try really hard to follow most etiquette and I didn't want to offend anyone.

Clearly this is the cart before the horse in several ways (you know, not pregnant and assuming someone would actually want to throw me a shower...), but I thought it was worth asking!

I wouldn't side eye it a bit.
