Baby Shower Congratulations Letter Friend Announced She's Having A Baby! Do I Give A Gift Now, Later At A Shower, And When The Baby Is Born?

Friend announced she's having a baby! Do I give a gift now, later at a shower, and when the baby is born? - baby shower congratulations letter

This is the first time one of my friends has a baby, I'm not sure that the right way to make donations. Is it some type of decency to announce a gift now, if the parents expect? Or should I wait until the baby shower? And if they are now something that would be good to give a "wait Congratulations" gift?

~ ~ A big thank you for your help! ~ ~

I hate to say something negative, but it is always best to wait until after the first trimester, because it is a tough 3 months during pregnancy. Being a fairy ole women, but say wait for his pitch, something her mother for the child until the first quarter to give. I lost two babies in my first quarter and the child of things that they gave me ... Memories that are not actually needed. My idea to wait until the shower. You can always give your friend a greeting card and a box of biscuits (nausea). Do something good for them now, or should I say the couple. Like a gift card for dinner at your favorite restaurant, it would be something that could make the wait a "Congratulations on a gift."

Give a gift in the shower, then a gift when he goes to see the new baby.

Wait to see if a shower. If so, and she is a friend, meet friends, and it as a shower gift for her and her child. Parents often enjoy creating things with gardening preserved. It is not wrong to wait until it is born, but the shower is the best choice.
Just a note: The showers are usually a month before the due date. Normally there is a record in a baby store or department store, where they often know the sex of the baby. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage and I got a gift. I think it is good to wait for the shower.

Expect to wait a gift in the shower or bath, if not until the baby is born and give a donation to the hospital. do not give a gift very soon, because, God forbid, can your friend has a miscarriage, and the only gift that negative emotions could cause later. Clothes and toys are always appropriate gifts

A gift is enough .... in the shower.

I love presents, so you probably three gifts. You may be pregnant, a newspaper or a book about pregnancy now, for some registry shower and when the baby diapers and other necessities. This will also depend on his friends how good they are.

Wait until the shower to give the great gift. If it is a close friend, you can still have the card or something with a small sample that is alll about, not the child - as a gift certificate for a massage or something.
Then you can give the gift of a child in the shower.

Traditionally, the shower is the place for gifts. It is very fun to choose! Normally, the purchase of gifts for the child, but also a good idea, something for the mother also to be. I have a gift card for two of my friends who are just babies and they both mentioned that it was good to get something because most people include only concentrate on the baby items.

Another reason to wait until the rain is for you to know the sex of the baby - and they usually have a record in a business you know that everything they do and what not.
