Baby Shower for 3Rd Baby!

I say have the shower, isn't every baby worth celebrating! If that offends someone, let them stay home. I just had #3, a boy after 2 girls, and seven years since my last child. I was a little embarrassed about people wanting to throw me a shower, but very, very grateful. I actually had more showers and got more gifts for #3 than I did #1, which was great because I was more experienced and knew what I wanted and needed....SOOO, I say party away! If you do it while the weather is nice, you could do it a park pavillion and have cute little boxed lunches for the guests.

I know of somewhere that is not too expensive for a shower. The Comfort Inn in Arnold (Richardson Road/I - 55) has a reasonable price for their conference rooms. That was recommended for my shower a year ago. I think it was cheaper to do it on a Sunday - I want to say it was like $100 - $150. I think I had about 40 people or at my shower and we fit pretty comfortably. In the room there was a small frig, coffee maker, and a sink. It was a great place to have the shower! I'd recommend it to anyone!!

My friends (about 10 of us) and I have a schedule, of sorts, for baby showers. Your 1st baby, you get a big baby shower with all the bells and whistles. For your 2nd baby, we get together for coffee and dessert and collect money from everyone for a big Babies R Us gift certificate. For your 3rd baby we have an "in & out shower" where we all bring ready to go dinners for the freezer and diapers and wipes, get it? In & Out!
She may appreciate dinners and diapers more than lots of pink stuff, since as you know after the baby comes you get more cute outfits than you think you need.
But if youa re in Arnold you can call any bar & grill you like and see if they have a room available, it's easier and lots cheaper if you do it on a week night. Your extra bonus is there is no smoking in Arnold restaurants so she won't be uncomfortable!
Or we had a surprise party for a shower once and told my friend it was a Pampered Chef party, then guilted her and bribed her with good food into coming, that way we could have it at our house.
By the way, if you make it fun and less formal you can have a baby shower for each baby, especially if it's just a good excuse to get together with the mom (without her other kids) for a little while before a new baby takes over.
Good luck & have fun!

Hi I think it is perfectly fine to have one for her. I have 4 kids and have had showers with 3 of them. Also if you live in the city limits of arnold you can rent the community center off lower tenbrook for a donation of like 25 just call the rec center for reservations

Hi S., I know there used to be like an urgent care center in Arnold (I want to say by the movie's??) I know there is a Taco bell right about there on Richardson Road. I think it's called something like St. Anthony's urgent care. ANyway i have gone there before to a wedding shower. I think it's either free or really cheap from what i heard someone say before. It's not huge, but i bet big enough for what you need it for. I hope that helps. If you don't know what i'm talking about, let me know and i'll see if i can find out more details for you. As for a shower, i'm not totally sure, but i think it would be ok. I mean, ya she has items still, but not girl items. Now days most people are cool with that (I think). I know i have a friend who is kinda "uppity" and she would totally frown on that. But it's your friend and i think who ever wants to come can. Who ever does not want to join, then they can stay home. I don't want to sound rude, but you know how some people can be. Usually most people love babies and want to give mom a gift anyway. This will give everyone a chance to see her and hang out with her little bit to catch up. Friends and family are very important and sometimes we get so busy in our usual everyday life that we forget to take time to get together with them. Anyway good luck and let me know if you need help with findin that Hall in Arnold.

The Arnold Rec Center is a great place for a baby shower. I think that for a non-resident, they charge $35 per hour...but they also added in 30 minutes for set up and clean up without chrging me. If you are an Anold resident it is even cheaper.
