My baby shower theme is gonna be hot pink and zebra :)) I'm having my baby shower July 28th but I'm not due till Oct I was gonna have it later but literally all my weekends after that date are booked and this way it gives us time to buy items we haven't got...good luck and I wish you the best for you and your baby girl :))

We are having a shower end of August and I'm due in October. Were registered cuz I have family far away that wanted to know what we wanted. I am using it more to keep track of stuff we want to get. Although we will let people know were registered there for our shower.  Depending on how much we have by August we may just have a diaper wipes and bath soaps shower :)

My baby shower was at 35 weeks and we didn't buy anything till after. No point until you know what you'll get. I didn't make a list, people brought what they wanted if they even wanted to.

I'm planning on having my baby shower after my son is born, but i might not have one at all. My friends and family have already giving me thing plus I've bought a lot myself. A lot of people i kno over the years have waited until after their babies were born. Its all up to you when u have the shower.

I had my baby shower at 33 weeks & I got most of the big items, thankfully. We're not finding out the gender so i have a lot of unisex clothing. I think its never to soon to start buying things. I did the baby registry & hardly anyone used it besides my sisters & mom. Its better to get things sooner than later.

I don't believe its too early. I believe you should buy small things if your having a baby shower, you don't want to buy something someone brought as a gift. but as long as you have the gender confirmed .. i believe you could began buying things.

Its NEVER too early to.start preparing for baby, and I think baby showers are usually thrown around 6 or 7 months. I had mine at 8 months with my son but only because all of me and bd family was finally in.town all at once for thanksgiving. So we did thanksgiving, got married and had a baby shower in the same week...

I had my baby shower at 30 weeks, it has left enough time for me to get all the major things I need, personally if you have the room to store baby items start getting things now. It will help you feel more relaxed knowing you have the things you need. I am 34 weeks now and starting to freak out because I still need some of the little things like burp rags and to pack my hospital bag. so go ahead and start buying some little things.
