Baby Shower Etiquette - Waxahachie,TX

Congratulations!! Not much longer now, though the last week seems to take FOREVER.. Thats how moms learn patience!! I am not sure how your cousin is, but this is a super nice thing she is doing, not sure if she has her own babies or not, but after I had my son, the little pamper get your body back to yours things were really nice.. Maybe a spa day, a gift cert for a clothes space for when she is post baby - hair cut.. It is a lovely gift from her-- it may really help her after the birth for some one on one time making herself feel good.. She will have all these emotions!! maybe even a massage or something.. Congratulations on your new baby boy!! I wish you all the best in mommyhood!!!

Hi M.,

Congratulations to you! I know you must be so excited and how wonderful for your cousin to bless you with the gift of life. : )
I feel you should absolutely get your cousin a gift as well.
Even though you've been giving her many gifts throughout her pregnancy and I'm sure she's very thankful, she still should be acknowledged and thanked with a nice gift at the shower which I'm sure she'd really appreciate that. : )
What she is doing for you is greater than words can say and no gift can really ever thank her enough (which I'm sure you know already) but I think she'd still like to be given something that shows how much you appreciate her and the baby shower would be a perfect place to do that.

What about a nice gift certificate to a spa where she can enjoy a massage and relax for the day?
Is she married with kids? If so, maybe get her and her husband a nice hotel room for a night (Marriots one of my
faves) and you could watch the kids while they have a night alone.

As far as the hostess go, some type of gift basket is always nice.....lotions, perfum, creams, etc.
OR maybe a gift card for them to get their nails or a pedicure done. What woman doesn't want her nails or feet done? : )

Congrats again to you and blessings to your new baby boy!
Little boys are the greatest! : )

First off, I'd like to say congrats and how wonderful I think this is. I too would do the same for anyone. I would think possibly something showing a sign of sincere Thanks, but nothing extravagant or expensive, something with meaning. I'm not sure how you cousin is, or if she'd appreciate monetary value more, but if it was me-I would just be so happy to help someone have a chance to have a child, or if I was in your shoes so thankful to have someone give me the opportunity, that I would try to write something or find something really meaningful expressing how much this means to you and your husband from the heart. Possibly something engraved, or a necklace with a meaningul charm.

I gave my shower hostesses a large candle. It is something nice but still somewhat inexpensive. If you want to get the carrier something, I would recommend a day at a spa.

How sweet!! I think it is so neat that she is carrying YOUR child. Yes I think you should get her a gift and have it at the shower. As for hostess gifts, maybe a bath set from a little boutique or something. You could probably find something for around $10-$15 or so. :) C.

A journal jar from creative memories, would be sweet, and a scrapbook. Get in contact with me K. Curry
