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? (link)

id confide the whole truth, (the need for the gifts) and how hurt you are to someone you trust (that wont blab to everyone) ask them to find out if theres one being planned and if not ask them to mention it to the right people, in a nonlachant way. i mean theres no reason for you not to get one, an you shouldent have to throw it yourself. if it were me theres a few people i could tell the whole truth to an they would see that i got one. i mean theres got to be at least one woman in your life that can go up to your friends and casually say, "you know what we need to do,and i cant belive i dident think of it sooner, we should really throw a baby shower for -----your name here--- it could be like our last group party without kids runnin around" honestly i wouldent give myself one because they may intend to suprise you. but id definately confide to someone that would never rat you out about your feelings or the lil bit of help you need. that way if one isent planned them mentioning it will get the ball rolling.
