I think baby showers are really valuable... new mothers always need help - whether that's gifts, advice, money, etc. I completely agree about the baby stuff… I think baby showers are really valuable… new mothers always need help – whether that’s gifts, advice, money, etc.

Which is part of why we didn't do anything (and laziness). The chat comment that people can expect to buy something for the engagement, bridal shower, and wedding is freakin' INSANE. The whole chat is crazy, though she backpedals a bit later. I always figure it's about celebrating, not about stuff. Ah well. I will say that I don't have a problem with baby registries because well, you need a whole lot of stuff for babies from the start (for example: you can't leave the hospital without a car seat!) and it can be really overwhelming.
