Hello all you baby shower proven ladies and gents :)
Baby showers are not common here in Austria, but since my friend Sabine is pregnant, this would be a great opportunity to have a baby shower.
Could you please tell me
-WHO organises a baby shower
-WHERE do you have it
-WHEN ( in what month of the pregnancy)
-WHAT presents are acceptable ( something usefull or something fun?) ??????

Thanx for any help concerning this "old" lady´s ( even though she´s younger than me, she´s already 41  :crackup: ) baby shower.

Hi Gaby,   Here in the US, there aren't really any fast and hard rules for baby showers.  Usually it's given by a close friend.  As far as location, it depends on the amount of people invited.  I've been to showers at community halls and restaurant banquet rooms but most of the time they are given in the host's home.  Gifts . . . anything goes.  You hope the mom will be receiving all the necessities, though.  Often, the mom registers at a department store baby department or even Toys R Us.  Time . . . I'd say 7th  or 8th month.
