Not that you necessarily have to choose between a baby shower and a post partum party, but one is standard (and is usually great), and the other is totally overlooked (and is always great – plus, it can decrease postpartum blues, anxiety, and depression).
Thoughts?
BABY SHOWER:
💜Lots of fun
💜Lots of great gifts (which you’ll probably get once the baby is born anyway – especially if you have a registry)
💜A time to celebrate and get excited for baby
💜Pre-baby attention on you!
POSTPARTUM PARTY:
🧡Support for you, the new mom
🧡People taking turns bringing meals
🧡People taking turns running errands
🧡People taking turns doing household chores (or hiring a cleaning service)
Hmm… Is 20 years postpartum too late to have a postpartum party? 
😂
