[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she the pregnant person?  If so, then no, she can't send that out.  If she's a bff, she could perhaps host a "Zoom" shower, give out a date and time, and say that the mom-to-be will open gifts that she has during the zoom session.   And to do this , I would assume it would go out only to the closest friends and relatives.  This is not for wide distribution.[/quote] If no one else is giving you a shower it is perfectly fine to still have a baby shower! If no one gives you a birthday party you can't celebrate your birthday either? These rules are ridiculous! Where did they come from? Emily Post?[/quote]

Actually the Emily Post Institute (Emily post is long dead) have a pretty modern, broad view compared to the ppl on this board.  They acknowledge that self or immediate family-hosted showers are traditionally frowned upon but that in modern society there are many reasons why a person might have one.

"[b]Today it is appropriate for anyone to host a baby shower as long as there’s a legitimate reason.[/b] For example, some parents-to-be live far from their hometowns, and their mothers and siblings want to host a shower so that longtime friends can attend."

Are you saying wealthy people don't have baby showers?

I guess Meagan and Harry are "tacky" then since there was no real "legitimate" reason to but their friends threw one for them anyways.[/quote]

Oh my goodness.  YES they were beyond tacky.  Do you remember how much smack people talked about her NY baby shower???[/quote]
