gift voucher baby image
Chagall
Do family members normally give a gift to the mum when the baby is born, or only at the bridal shower. Also, as I am male, do I send a gift to the bridal shower?
And what are nice presents to give for the baby? I think maybe just a gift voucher for a baby store, what do you think?
Thanks clever people!
Yes, the baby did become before the wedding but I do mean baby shower. Thanks
Answer
a gift voucher is good. new baby means lots of purchases before and after the birth. i would pick a store that you know they will shop in. sorry not telling you anything you don't already know.
however, if you are fishing for an actual present idea, i'd go with something they don't have yet but need: crib, stroller, musical mobile, baby monitor, baby toys. depends on your budget.

Is it rude to ask for something in particular for a baby shower gift?

I have a few friends who are all pregnant at the same time, including myself, so we have been discussing baby shower ideas. These babies are all 2nd babies for us, and were not really sure about what to do.
We all have things left over from our 1st babies, so we don't need much. We also don't want any of that generic baby shower stuff like powders, creams, etc and other useless crap we will never use.
Is it wrong to tell people what you want, ie on the invitation or something, or even request money or a gift voucher? What do you think?

With my first baby I did not know how the hole registry thing, and tons of people kept asking me "what do you want? what do you need?" so I told them all the same things and do you know what I got? 20 powders, tons of baby shampoo, lots of baby lotion, and it took me about 2 years to use all of it! (not complaining, just had to keep finding places to put them). then I got 2 bouncers, 2 play and packs, 2 swings. etc.
so with my second I made a registry and got stuff that i NEEDED, I love the fact that they have registries now because now you want get to much stuff you don't need, and get what you really need.
and no it's not rude! when ever I hear about a baby shower I find their registry.
and don't be afraid to ask for money, that's what my sister did, was not rude or anything.
