Tradtionally baby showers are around the 7th month. But you can have it any time really. Who open the gifts ….you do. Showers are usually just women and its a party for you. you get to open all the gifts yourself. Have fun! BTW I’m due June 19th

Yeah that sounds like a good time because you never know when the baby is gonna decide to come on out! (: and the mother should open the presents, they are for you and the baby. And open them after everyone you’re expecting has arrived and social time is taking place. (= hope i’ve helped. good luck!

Sure. It’s better to have it a bit early in case you deliver early.

You can have a baby shower anytime. Usually the closer to the delivery
date the better.
I just attended 2 baby showere in the last two weeks. The people giving the baby shower had everyone play one or two games and gave out small prizes to the winners.
Then we ate a buffet lunch.
Then the mom-to-be sat in the middle and opened the gifts.
At one of the showers, a timer was set and when it went off, whose ever gift she was opening at that time was given a small wrapped gift.

Alot of people wait until the baby is born, just in case. However you can have your shower whenever you want. Usually baby showers are a girls thing… but I guess if you’re boyfriend wants to be apart of it, be thankful that he wants to be there for you and the baby!

Its all about you! and that baby!
I opened my shower gifts I was 34 weeks pregnant.

Your Boyfriend is just being selfish. The only thing that has to do with him, is the ***** it took to create the baby. Your the one that its growing inside. lol

Baby Showers traditionally are just for women! At mine, my step dad and biological dad, my uncles-who are boyfriends, and my husband were there. But you can tell your bf that its supposed to be for women only!

well im not having my boyfriend at the shower so its going to be all about the baby and since the baby cant i will open the presents for her! but my boyfriend didnt want to be at the shower in the first place so it wasnt much of an argument for us lol and yes you will be about 7 months so thats actually a perfect time to have your shower since you wont be too far along to get things together that you didnt get from your shower

It is your baby shower and you can have it whenever and where ever you want to have it. Plus the baby shower will be more about the mother than the baby. The gifts will benefit the mother as well as the baby. Tell the boyfriend it is suppose to be about mother and baby at the baby shower. Also during the gift opening at the baby shower the mother will open the gifts. If you want to send thank you cards to the people who got you a gift have someone there to write the gifts along with the name of the person who gave it to you so you can focus more on the gifts and less on who the thank you cards so go to.

Yes, you can have your baby shower the end of April, if that is when you want to have it.
Why does your boyfriend think it’s all about him? That’s crazy. You open the gifts. His only job is to help you if you need it or to pass the gifts around for other people to see. My husband sat in a chair and made the list of what we got from everyone so that we could send thank you notes. He only helped with the big gifts that I couldn’t lift (they were car seats).

you can have it any time.

The mother to be ussually opens the gifts.. the shower is NOT about the dad to be.. its about the soon to be baby! Since mom is the one carrying the baby, and the one who has to go thru labor, its about HER! Ussually most of the guests are women.

I have a baby shower guide on my website that gives you a typical timeline of a baby shower:
*******************
The Timeline for Your Baby Shower

-Baby Showers Usually Last Two Hours (When Given in a Home)
-Greet Your Guests At The Door
-Welcome Everyone Once the Party is All Gathered
-Recognize the Mommy (and/or Daddy) to-be and let them say some words to the party (warn her ahead of time!!)
-Make introductions or allow the guests to each say how they know the mommy and daddy-to-be
-Have beverages and snacks available when your guests arrive and throughout the shower
-Play 2 or 3 games/activities and allow your guests to get to know each other and get into the Celebrate Baby Mood!!
-Serve your dessert or sit down meal (if this is a shower with a meal served)
-Have everyone gather to watch the mommy and daddy-to-be open their gifts
-Allow your guests to look over the gifts and chat for a while after all the gifts have been opened.
-Typically your guests will begin to make their departures shortly after the gifts have been opened
-Have your favors by the door to hand out to the guests as they depart
-After the guests have left help the mommy and daddy-to-be load up their goodies before their departure!

(You should both open the gifts together.)
