[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes omg all Baby showers are tacky.

Especially if you are older than 30[/quote]

What? A baby shower for the first child is not tacky. Why does it matter how old the mother is? It’s to celebrate the baby. [/quote]

NP. If it were to celebrate the baby you would wait until there actually is a baby. It's to shower with gifts and set up the parents, taking off some of the financial burden. It's about the gifts. The age thing is because it makes sense when there is a young mother who may not be able to equip herself with the necessities. When it's some 600k HHI professionals in their late thirties hitting up friends for Brest Friend pillows and 1300 dollar SNOO bassinets, it's tacky. Host a sip and see (on your own dime! :gasp:) and ask for donations to a children's charity. [/quote]

I’ve seen this logic before (with weddings) and it always baffles me. Just because someone marries after 30 or has a baby after 35 doesn’t mean that their community doesn’t want to celebrate those life milestones. I’m the professional woman you described and, you’re right, I don’t need anyone to purchase anything for me. We registered for items from $4-300 and will buy what’s not purchased by friends. But to imply that there’s an income or age threshold to these events is unkind. [/quote]
