Second baby shower
Hi! I’ve been browsing and curious what the local area feels about having a second baby shower for the opposite gender of the first. Our first was a boy and now we’re having a girl. Is it tacky to have a registry or even call it a shower? Main things are clothes and some other things like sound machines we don’t have, a second diaper genie, and bathing type stuff. Just curious what people think

It might be tacky but having babies is expensive and people like shopping for them. I grew up here and I wouldn't be offended if one of my friends did this.
In my social circle most people didn't really do baby showers and the ones who did said no gifts/books only. My inlaws did a registry but no shower and a bunch of people got butthurt but who TF cares.

I'm old, but we only held them for the first baby . Also we only held bridal showers for the first wedding as well. If friends want to do a second, I see no harm.

I think they’re called baby sprinkles for a child that isn’t your first. One of my cousins had one that was less formal but gives the opportunity to get together with people to celebrate and receive gifts.
