I grew up going to many a baby shower and was always told or under the impression that you only had a baby shower for the first child.
Now two women at work have gotten pregnant, one already giving birth and the other is due in a month. The first lady was on her third child, but in her defense, the shower was a surprise and we were told to just bring things like diapers and wipes. It was also a very low key, finger foods ordeal.
This second woman who is due next month is having a full blown, three course meal type of shower because her sister also works at my office. This is her second child and they registered even. Is this proper etiquette? To continue having baby showers after the first child AND registering for them?
On top of that, the sister has decided to go around the office asking the men to donate money for the shower for presents. They aren’t even invited. I think she must have been raised in a barn. What do you think?

It looks cheap to have a second one.

For sister to donate this girl is out of control family only shower for 2nd child would be ok.

For donations but maybe they werent planning on second one but maybe they werent planning on second child think would just give small gift certificate and then not inviting.
