[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks pps.

I think I'll just reiterated to my DH that it doesn't make sense to have a shower. And let our families know we don't need anything big for baby. They have been asking. We would never ASK them for anyrhiw but we also wouldn't say no of they offered to get the baby some diapers or gifts. They are family after all and they are excited.

I actually work solo so I don't have an office environment and we did have a large circle of friends who disagreed with our choice to live together 6 mths before our wedding. The whole pre martial sex thing really made us terrible people I guess. Oh well I guess we'll make friends in hell ;)[/quote]

You don't need to have a shower to have your family buy you gifts!  They want to buy you gifts to celebrate your little one.  I would recommend starting a registry even if you don't tell anyone in order to get the completion discount...but if you do register and let family know you have done so (or rather let your mom or sister let others know), I also don't think it's a big deal.  Sounds like a shower might be a little forced in your case, though a family-only shower would be fine, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't let your family share the joy by buying you gifts if that's what they want to do (obviously no obligation that they need to do so).[/quote]
