Thats like saying we should celebrate birthdays its haraam as well obviously yall not salifi muslims so i wont  waste my time but sheik muhammad ibrahim here in egypt says its not from quran or sunnah because its what the kufr do and the prophet (pbuh) also said it as well

It's simply a cultural thing... it doesn't go against our aqedah because we're not doing anything that's wrong. In my eyes we're visiting a muslim sister, helping her, giving gifts and food, bringing the family close, and celebrating something good. Which is something that our beloved salalahu alaihi was salam encouraged us to do. As long as there is no haram involved you can do it how you want. May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings. Deeds are according to intentions.  Allah knows best.

I am also a muslim and I plan on having a babyshower with my friends and ten days after the birth a gathering with the family. No one is against having a shower, though my inlaws are suspicious of People having the 'bad eye' when they find out the gender. Most people already know :)

I've thrown my own baby shower both times. I think everyone should have one to celebrate baby.

All you need is food, games, prizes that's all it is.

I have a list on games in my journals.

Around 32 or 34 weeks so you have enough time to put things through the wash, do returns, and get final things organized.

I think the whole "jinxing" thing is cultural. It's fine to throw a baby shower but usually people like close friends and families are the ones that organize the event for you. You just show up and accept all your wonderful gifts lol I'm not having a baby shower.. but i know I'll get plenty of visitors after birth and they will all bring gifts.
