Question #1:

What do you think of this baby name...?

Okay so when i asked for baby names to go with the first name Alia i got a lot of great names. Like i said before my Friend is expecting a baby girl in 3 months And she's having her baby shower in a few days, she needs to think of a name like really fast so she can put it on the invitations.
so we though of the names:

Alia Michelle Pinioliz

Alia Marie Pinioliz
Or
Alia Rose Pinioliz
Please tell us which one you like best
Thank you

Question #2:

Do you think this is a little overboard and asking too much?

I have a friend who had a little boy two years ago. She is now due with another boy in October and is having another baby shower. I do not understand this. I was already making her something to give to her, but then I got a baby shower invitation in the mail the other day. I could understand perhaps if maybe she was having a girl this go around that maybe she might need a few things, but to have another boy whom you should already have everything you need for. What are your thoughts on this?
She registered again. The babies r us card was stuck in the invite. I'm just making her a diaper cake and calling it a day. I looked at her registry just to see what she could possibly be requesting now after already having one boy.
Her mother is the one throwing the shower, it's not friends.
Of course all babies deserve a new gift which is why I was making her something without even knowing she was having a shower. And I'm sure other people were doing the same thing. But I was raised in that you only have a baby shower for the first baby, it gets a little tacky and asking a little much the second go around. And I kind of agree. If someone offers to throw me a shower the second go around if I have another girl, I will kindly refuse. I don't want to impose upon my friends.
I have loaned my daughters clothes out to friends, but will not give any of it away until I'm sure I'm not having another girl. It goes into storage when I get it back.
Angela - A diaper party is totally fine imo...I get that. But I do have another friend who had a boy first go around and then had a girl last year and she had another shower, I was totally fine with that since it was the opposite sex, but I do agree that all babies should be celebrated, but to me this is a plea for more gifts not celebrating the baby.
Uh, I only have one kid and she's a hand me down baby. I don't hesitate to take things that people give me, yes she has new clothes also, as will all my other kids. I was taught that it was bad etiquette to have a shower after the first baby...sorry, but what do I have to be jealous about, pray tell?

Question #3:

Disappointed about failed-ish baby shower :(?

ALL summer my family has been telling me they are throwing me a baby shower and the date was August 7th, so I've been counting down the days waiting and waiting....now today they tell me they may have to change it to a much later date because a whole entire summer wasn't long enough for them to send out invites....I feel super disappointed now because I was really looking forward to it, telling everybody about it because it was supposed to be a for sure thing, now if the date is changed it wont be until I'm about to go into labor, lol.....anyways, im not trying to sound ungrateful, i just feel if i was promised this for so long then maybe SOMEONE could have sent out invitations, or if they were soooo busy they could of said something and I would've sent them out....now im just bummed and bitter :(.....any advice?
You asked...: actually they had all of May, and all of June, and since today its the 26th Im going to say Pretty much all of July, which has been the entire summer so far, so yes, they did....and that is why I say failed-ISH...hence the ish!!! Idiot.....

Question #4:

I need to know what is the best way to write a cancellation letter to a baby shower. What kind of wording?

What kind of wording should I use? Something personal came up in my family and I will not be having one. Im clueless and dont want to sound mean in the letters since Ive already sent the invitations out to everyone.

Question #5:

Question #7:

Question #8:

Question #9:

I want to start making custom invitations for children's birthdays, bridal, baby showers etc... There are a lot of people who have ebay stores and web sites where they have a bunch of custom cards and I am pretty sure they made them. I want to know how to make those! Is it Print shop? Thank you

Question #10:

Where can i find inexpensive baby shower invitations online?

Question #11:

What do you do if you passed out 20 invitations to a party but only one RSVPs?

I was feeling festive and wanted to celebrate the warm weather so I decided to have a party.
We just moved here in January and we haven't really made any friends since the move,
so I invited a bunch of associates. People who do the same mommy&me classes, people whose children have playdates with my son. People I enjoy talking to and would like to get to know better.

I passed out invitations face-to-face. The invitatios had the party day/time/place information, as well as two phone numbers which they could RSVP through (my home phone and my mobile phone).
I told everyone as I passed the invitations out: its just an informal fun thing to celebrate the summer, we're going to have a big spread of food and a ball pit for the kids.

I had some people when I passed the invitations out say "let me check my calander and get back to you," others who said "yea, this sounds fun, I'll try to make it"
However, only one person called me later to give me a formal RSVP "yes, I will be there"

So what do I do?
The party is in two days- I have enough food to feed 20 families-
I'm almost finished cleaning and decorating the house-
But I have no clue if anybody is going to show up or not!

If all the people who told me to my face "I'll try to be there" show up then I'll have about 15 families
however if none of them show up then I'll only have the one family who gave a formal "yes" RSVP

I'm feeling very nervous because I know it was silly of me to put myself out there and invite people I barely know to a party as a means of trying to bulid a friendship but now its too late to back out...

I know sometimes people who don't give a formal RSVP will show up
(thats what happened at my son's baby shower and at his first birthday where we used to live)
I'm just wondering whats the likihood that I'm going to be very embarrassed when only the one family shows up?

Question #12:

How to word a baby shower invitation asking for diapers and gift as well?

I am a first time mom to be and have never had a baby shower, but a friend of mine had and in the invitation together with the store of the baby registry, she also wrote " if you could bring a package of diaper # __ as well with the gift, it will be very much appreciated".. I dont know if I want to ask the same way.. I need ideas on how to write this without being rude!

Help!!!!

Question #15:

I am throwing a Time of Day(around the clock) Baby Shower?? Need Help!!!?

I am expecting a little boy in the month of October, and I'm throwing him a "Around The Clock" baby shower. The invitations are perfect, and I have everything I need that goes along with the perfect wording and so on, but I NEED MORE TIMES. I have play time, bath time, nap time, and dinner times .......do you guys have any other suggestions (categories) I could use.......

Thanks In Advance.
I will like to thank you all who gave your advice. I reeeeeeeallly appreciate it!!! Especially (Pimpin) ...that was funny. To all of the very rude responders, I would like you all to know that I'm not hosting my baby shower, but I am planning it. I think I should have the right to celebrate my son's birth the way "I" want to celebrate it. If that is so wrong - then you can deal with that issue on your own terms - not on my post. Thanks for your opinions though. These crazy myths about how you cant throw your own shower or buy your baby anything before 4 months is getting on my laaaast nerve.......btwiws

Thank You All for your feedback!!! (New Mommy - I like that idea ..kudos to you ..reading time - educational time. is always a good thing) Thanks Again.. xoxoxx

Question #16:

Help with bbq/baby sprinkle? 10 pts best answer!!?

I know it's weird sounding but we don't expect anyone to throw us a baby shower/sprinkle for our second baby so we've decided to just have basically a family get together celebrating the new baby to come. Since it's due in february and we don't have an ideal place to host we're doing it in late summer/early fall when I'll be about 5-6 months pregnant. We are calling it a baby sprinkle and having a little poem in the invitation explaining it
Baby smiles and giggles galore
_____ and _____ are having one more
Big Sister _______ has plenty to share
This is only a "sprinkle" to show that we care
Please join us to celebrate before Baby is due
They've got lots of pink, so think plenty of blue! (if its a boy!)!

Found it off a website. Anyways, we'll have about 25-30 ppl there if they all come and we'll be doing it at the park. There will be anywhere from 2-8 kids under 7 there. We're thinking grilling ribs or brisket or both, and chicken and some coctail size pigs in a blanket. Having chips/dip, potato salad, baked beans, fruit platter, and of course the shower cake. Then also having a cooler or 2 full of soda, water, and some juice.

Decorations pretty simple-- table cloths maybe streamers and balloons. Figure it's too many people to have games?

What else do you suggest

Question #18:

What does R.S.V.P.mean?

I'm sending out invitations for a baby shower it has R.S.V.P. I need to know what to put there. Please help thanks.

Question #19:

Do you INVITE or do you NOT INVITE?

My friends asked to throw me a baby shower, I have family in Minnesota and I know they are unable to travel to Indiana for a baby shower... Do I still send invitations or just email those members my baby register information?

Question #20:

is it rude to include a card with gift suggestions in a baby shower invitation?

the store she registered at will be included on the invitation. is it acceptable to include an additional card that states things like "mom and dad-to-be love to read, if you would like to contribute to baby library bring a signed book", or suggestions like dad likes superheros, mom likes natural colors, mom is breastfeeding exclusively, things like that.
i should add the reasoning behind this question isn't because mom-to-be expects people to buy only certain gifts. i am asking because over half of her family is coming from a different town, and the store she is registered at is not located there. she doesn't want to register at another store and risk getting too many duplicates. i have already received several calls asking for gift ideas, and am trying to find a way to get info out to the masses instead of individually, without being rude and people getting the impression that she expects them to buy something. especially because "rude" would be my response to an invitation with a gift list.
