Beautiful and Bad Baby Showers

Baby shower lore from around the Internet.

by Meagan Francis

Perhaps no pregnancy issue is as hotly debated as the baby shower. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the questions can be loaded: should I register? If so, how should I tell everyone where I've registered? How extensive should the invite list be? Should we play games? Should we play really awful embarrassing games?



Everyone's got an opinion, as a trip around the blogosphere makes clear. Here's what bloggers are saying about all the ins and outs of baby showers:

• At His Boys Can Swim, Jane has a lot of questions about registering for her baby shower
• When is a baby shower more like a reality show?
  
• At Harvest of Daily Life, Talina vents about an under-attended shower
