A LOT of ppl on my other birth board found it tacky. But I say, do what works for you! I had a work shower with April LO and they gave me another shower today for the July baby boy. Haven't celebrated anything outside, but we are planning a "big sister/meet the baby" BBQ a few weeks after baby is born.

Personally, I find 2nd showers tacky except in certain cases... Like 10 years between kids, or a remarriage where it is the first baby for one spouse. Most of our friends/family have 2-3 kids, and I feel like we'd go broke if we attended showers for each child! I know each family/social group is different, though.

We did "meet the baby" party and it was fun! Alot of our friends came over and some brought gifts (we did mention in the invite for no gifts). You can make a babyq (BBQ) party. I saw on Pinterest some cute ideas for that. :)

Where I am a diaper shower is pretty standard, and if the sex is different clothes will be given as well. But it's usually just family or super close friends and not the whole hoopla like the first one was.

I also find it tacky unless there is a huge age gap or the parents are really struggling. A meet the baby party sounds nice and I am sure there are people in your life that will get you something for the baby.
