Plus, it was pretty hard to get thank you cards out before Lizzy was born--I was just exhausted by that point. <br /><br />One reason it might be good to have it earlier--our friends bought us our travel system for the shower. They decided to assemble it for us, and learned that it was broken. We were lucky that our local Target had one in stock for them to exchange, otherwise we might not have had our car seat in time!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257863829848728846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1853246996060227443.post-40587432404318522722010-01-20T11:57:57.258-05:002010-01-20T11:57:57.258-05:00Mine is March 6...and I'm due May 8...so 8 wee...Mine is March 6...and I'm due May 8...so 8 weeks in advance.

When I hosted a shower for my sister in law, I asked my neighbor and another sister in law (who were both attending) if they wouldn't mind making a finger food item. It made it much easier on me, and they didn't mind at all.

I think no matter when you have it she will be happy. Good Luck.Gosfamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703714262949899933noreply@blogger.com
