idea...what if I had people get clothes for certain ages at the shower. Like, Mary and Sally get 0-3 months, Jane and Sue get 3-6, etc. Do you think that would be tacky??
At this shower, I don't know what all of the relatives were thinking......even the Great Grandmother bought little outfits. I think when you go to the stores you just get caught up in all of the darling clothes they have for little girls. Everyone gave her two and three per gift - it became funny after a while.

You could suggest that your sis-in-law register at Baby's R Us(also on-line) and be specific in her wishes for the various age sizes. Somehow you could "suggest" to people that you are worried...because you heard about this shower (from me) and you hope the baby receives things it can wear later on.

My youngest niece is two and whenever I ask what she needs, I get a chorus response from my brother and sis......PAJAMAS!
What!! You mean she doesn't wear that cute dress I bought her to bed?
