Sure, you do need some things to raise a baby, but I think often these things get taken waaaay over the top in the US, you don't need a baby wipe heater for example. It is simply not necessary. It's rather ridiculous actually. <br /><br />So of course some gifts will be given, although usually they are given when the baby is born, rather than before, but mainly, you buy it, borrow it from friends and family or get by without it.Rebekka @ Becky's Kaleidoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561986047548051036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-48655294751533236102012-01-17T09:43:29.304-05:002012-01-17T09:43:29.304-05:00But you need STUFF to raise babies!
Seriously, I ...But you need STUFF to raise babies!<br /><br />Seriously, I never realized how much crap they make for babies until I went baby shower shopping. It's insane. I've told my mother that I'm going to move to Amish country to raise my kids when I have them. They get along just fine without all this crap.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-31067863323517604852012-01-16T14:49:17.346-05:002012-01-16T14:49:17.346-05:00Well, I guess they buy it, get it from family and ...Well, I guess they buy it, get it from family and friends etc... to a large degree I guess they make do without so much STUFF.Rebekka @ Becky's Kaleidoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561986047548051036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-69568992149928238852012-01-02T09:38:30.509-05:002012-01-02T09:38:30.509-05:00I'm getting the impression that baby showers a...I'm getting the impression that baby showers are an American thing. Dammit. I'm kind of wishing I lived someplace where they weren't the tradition.<br /><br />So how do new parents get all the stuff that they need in Denmark? Like...that's part of the purpose of having the baby shower is for people to buy the baby things and help the family out that way.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-78627689150778805762012-01-02T09:14:36.256-05:002012-01-02T09:14:36.256-05:00I've never even been to a baby shower, they...I've never even been to a baby shower, they're not really common here in Denmark.

Still annoying.<br /><br />I've been getting ideas for activities from people I work with and from Eve herself so we should be okay on that front. <br /><br />I think it's partially about just getting the stuff, yes. Mainly, even, since she's kind of antisocial. Moreso than me, even, which is really kind of funny.<br /><br />I've only been to one too and we ate, opened presents and did a few activities/games but some of those Eve has very specifically vetoed.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-39467815404675300362011-12-28T08:42:13.578-05:002011-12-28T08:42:13.578-05:00Maybe someone else talked her into one? I'm a ...Maybe someone else talked her into one? I'm a little weak-willed sometimes, other people keep talking me into stuff I don't want for the wedding because you just have to have it this way. Bah. Still annoying for you, I know. <br /><br />I would agree you should definitely do at least a couple games. Otherwise it comes across like she only wants a shower to get gifts. Which might be true, but it's also tacky to make it so obvious. :D <br /><br />I've only ever been to one, and it was for someone I didn't know so it was a little weird. We ate dinner, played a couple games with prizes, and watched the mom-to-be open gifts. I don't really even remember any of the games or anything, so I have no help to offer. But you should definitely enlist others in helping you with the work if you can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382787889525110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-28986435809092370772011-12-27T10:51:16.939-05:002011-12-27T10:51:16.939-05:00Theme? Ha!
The theme is going to be, 'Oh, you...Theme? Ha!<br /><br />The theme is going to be, 'Oh, you gave me a month to plan a baby shower, no time to save up for it and are being a pain about getting me a guest list. You will take what you get and enjoy it!'<br /><br />And I'm totally planning games, even though she doesn't like them. Because what the hell else are you supposed to do at baby showers?Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-77134310752011117962011-12-27T10:39:48.289-05:002011-12-27T10:39:48.289-05:00Haha!
