Baby Shower Planning Checklists, Special Circumstances, and Etiquette
The Web sites in this section contain general advice for throwing a baby shower, including baby shower etiquette, baby shower planning checklists and tips for special circumstances, such as when the mother-to-be already has a child.
Dulcinea's Insight
- If you’re wondering what to do for an expectant mom who already has children, consider holding a diaper shower, which provides essentials she’ll still need for a new baby (like diapers and formula) instead of items she probably already has, like a stroller or crib.
