Beyond tacky “shower” invite

[Anonymous]

I think a Zoom shower is fine if you're comfortable with it (I know that personally I'd be so awkward on one) and a friend/ family member is hosting, but the shower-by-mail showers I keep hearing about on pregnancy feel very tacky.

I’m due in 6 weeks and sort of indulging in a mini depression. People have asked me about a registry, so I made one with mostly cheaper items, nothing too much because I know it’s a tough time for many. I’ve ordered everything that baby needs, so it’s not a matter of really wanting anything. It would be great to celebrate with everyone, but sadly I won’t be able to. It probably doesn’t help that I had a major falling out with a close friend shortly before becoming pregnant.

I’m trying to focus on everything I should be grateful for, that our jobs are stable and our baby is healthy, but I am a little sad sometimes. Hormones probably aren’t helping!

I suggest a zoom shower. If you organize it well with games it’s a really fun time. I’m really happy I had one and I convinced my Friend to have one as well and it was a lovey time. Do it. It will lift your spirits and show you that people do care about the baby and you.
