Q: I'm currently expecting my first child and my due date is fast approaching. I recently told my husband that I'm hurt that no one has offered to throw a baby shower even though everyone around us (family, friends, coworkers, church members) knows that we are expecting. He said that I should throw a baby shower for myself. I'm afraid that it would be a breach of etiquette and come across as greedy. With our current financial situation, the gifts would be helpful, but I want the shower more for the companionship and celebration that comes with it.
1) Would you consider it greedy if someone were to invite you to a baby shower they were throwing for themself?
2) What would you do in this situation?
I don't think it's greedy! It's your first kid and of course you want it to be remembered by everyone. Don't feel hurt maybe everyone just is scared you get relly surprised or something so it could be many reasons! I think if I were you send the invitations and have it! Or if you feel it'll make you feel greedy ask your mum or sister to do the invitations and stuff for you!

Thanks!
