tacky as hell to throw your own shower. Get a friend to volunteer. It's acceptable to help with the guest list and things like that-but NOT to host it.
I threw one for myself this time, its my 2nd. I did everything and paid for everything. I kinda just concidered it a get together. I wasnt expecting to get a bunch of gifts, but it was fun to get all the girls together!
idk.. i threw myself one for my 2nd. *shurgs* didnt know it was a rule.. i only had a few ppl and got a few little things we had fun. didnt see the harm i bought all the big shit myself. ... Tacky.. fucking bitches are rude i tell ya.
I don't think it's tacky to throw your own "baby celebration" for a first child. We might since my sister just had a baby and isn't planning on having my shower (which will be out of state by 6 hrs) until two weeks before my due date to accomodate her infant. I did not ask her to host but she offered and refuses to move it to a safer date for me. I will be politely saying thanks but no thanks. My husband and I are having a "baby-que" which "gifts are not expected but appreciated" since I have many friends who have asked for our shower date and registry or have an already purchased gifts but also would not travel out of state. We are also doing it as a pre-welcome since we are due a week before Thanksgiving and the holidays are a horrible time to host a "baby welcome". I could ask a friend but most of mine are currently planning their weddings or are able to host due to money. we don't think it's tacky since people are asking us when and if there will be a party closer.
However, hosting a full on shower for a third is a bit questionable. If it is just for odds and ends buy some things and after baby comes you could have a "meet the baby party" which is less "touchy" since most people will want to bring a small gift when meeting a new baby.
