lots of babies coming into this world this year!!!
I would say baby showers is a very US thing to have, at least I have never heard of them here in Sweden or other countries in Europe where I have friends. Do they have these in Australia? Maybe that could then be a reason to have one, but not otherwise. At least this is my thoughts on this topic.polop said:Does anyone know if she has had a "baby shower" yet?Is it even exceptable in the royal family?

Australian said:Yes we have baby showers in Australia, but it is optional, its not a set tradition, alot of Aussie families do it, and some dont.
Noelle9982 said:A baby shower is a party held for the mom-to-be before the baby is born. Basically, the mother chooses gifts (a stroller, bottles, clothes, etc.) at various stores that she'd like and guests buy the items. Then they bring them to the shower and the mother has everything she'll need for her child. It's just like a bridal shower before a wedding if you're familiar with that.
Personally, I think you should only have a baby shower for your first child. I think it's tacky and in poor taste to ask people for gifts everytime you have a child. Just my two cents though!

I think so. I don't hear more news about a busy movement in Denmark parliament to ratify the new rule of succession (or may be I'm wrong). Just curious if they already know that the baby will be a boy then they don't need to do it soonest.rchainho said:i think the royals know the gender of the babies but they don't want to spread the news before the birth. .
A good idea RoxsteveRoxsteve said:I really don't think Mary needs any gifts for her baby. Maybe people who want to give presents should send a check to the charity of their choice. Just an opinion.

Seriously, some people have been pushing the Prime Ministers for years for that change, well before the current baby was in the works anyway. Just because they're changing it now, doesn't mean that Anders Fogh knows more than us. He might, though, if Mary and Frederik knows, and wants to share.rchainho said:i heard now the news that the Prime Minister could know the gender of mary's baby by changing the law before the birth.
Oppie said:I think that they want the law written before the baby is born. I heard that it won't be law until 2007 if it passes a referendum too. They might want to make it clear that the law is changed if Mary and Frederik are have a girl and then they have a boy before the law is changed.
