Hey everyone! happy Wednesday! I hope all is well.

My baby shower is scheduled for 8/09/08 and I cannot wait. I already have the perfect invitations and food planned. I think the decorations are going to be minimal cause I want more food and drink. But heres my dilemma:

I have an idea and I would like everyones opinion. My hubby's 21st birthday is 8/06/08 which is a Wednesday. So we normally would celebrate his bday on the weekend, but the shower is already set. Would it be too corny to combine the two celebrations? Daniel wanted to have some alcohol for all his guy buddies at the shower anyway. So I am thinking that we could have the shower and play the games and have all the baby talk and after bring out the drink and party party party!!!

Right? How does that sound? Do you think people will go for it? How should I do the invites? I was thinking of making it a surprise for Daniel (hubby) and insert a separate card or invite with the baby shower invite. Somethin saying ps:party afterwards to celebrate Daniel 21st

Is this too tacky?

Thanks for all the input...im getting soo excited.

Not tacky at all - especially if those are the same people that would be at your baby shower anyway.

I agree with Ingi. If it would be the same crowd at the both events, go for it!!

Thanks girls! The crowds will pretty much be the same. We do have some friends that are in alcoholics anonymous that will be there for the shower. Thats why I wanted to make it to where the alcohol came out later. I know none of them would hold it against us, but they are really really good friends and we want to respect them. But it will pretty much be the same people.

Theres a couple of his friends I will have to invite seperately, but it should work out. Man I cannot wait for this party. I dont know whats more exciting planning his party or the baby shower!

yes I am actually...I know, how bad is that right. Honestly I havent had anyone offer me one or any family members that even know how to do a baby shower.

But I already have 2 months left and no one has mentioned a baby shower. Everyone just asks when it will be. So I figured I shouldnt wait too much longer to get things moving.

I have a sister but shes only 16

have you ever head of a diaper party? i think that's what it's called. anyway, it's when all the guys get together and they all buy diapers for the new dad and then they sit around and party like guys do. just an idea. i don't think there's anything wrong with combining them if it's all the same friends anyway.
