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)

If I were you, I would go ahead and register at a baby store, and tell your friends and family where you registered. If you are having a first baby, you will need things.
Also, I don't think its horrible to throw your own shower. Its an etiquette faux pas, but I would still be willing to attend. Close friends and family might just be embarassed they did not offer to help you out.
