Where is a good place to make one? I'm thinking Target, possibly.

Thanks Smile

make as many as you want, i had one at walmart and one at babies r us, some people may like shoping at one store over another...thats my theory anyway....plus its kinda fun and some things you can only find at certain places and not others

plus at babies r us you get this little gift pack thing with a ortho pro pacifier and a bottle and a diaper sample and stuff in it

Usually showers are somewhere in the last 4 weeks before birth. But if you are having TWO. I'd have one before and one after. Because you may have other things you might need. Besides, everyone LOVES to see the new baby!

ETA: Clarity. I'm a dork. Smile

i registered at babies r"us and its way too expensive compared to other places. I had my shower 7 weeks before my due date. Really it is up to you but you shouldnt be throwing your own shower thats a little weird !

I agree. Throwing your own shower is like begging for gifts and is considered tacky.

I'm not throwing my own. My mom is throwing mine in Ellsworth and my friend Jess is throwing mine in Bangor. They just want a time frame of when to plan them.

You can't get crap registering online at Target, they don't have a great selection. You'll have to actually go to the store and scan and add stuff.

I'm still registered at Babies R Us, they have a great online selection.

o.o I threw my own shower.... I didn't know that was tacky.

All well. We are asking for gifts, regardless of who throws it XD

I will probably throw my own too. We usually just eat during baby showers. The women cook and prepare the food and the men grill and drink. Nothing special. I didnt know it was tackey either. I agree with katrina, either way you are asking for presents

The more varitey of stores you choose, the less you'll have to return becuase of double gifting.

People are likely to get the same thing if you only choose from one store. And A LOT of people don't use the registry correctly. They don't give it to the cashier to mark off what they've bought!!!

Oh, and DON'T look at the registry before your shower!! I did that and CRIED because I thought I wasn't going to get ANYTHING!!!!! People either didn't use the registry, or didn't use it properly!!!!

I had mine at 35 weeks!!! I'm gonna have this sprinkle shower at 38 weeks!!! (cuttin it kinda close!! LOL!)
