Long-distance baby shower
"Cheryl S." wrote in message ...
My cousin is expecting, and lives ~1500 miles away from the rest of the family. Has anyone had or given a long-distance baby shower, and how did that work? We did a long distance shower for my sister in law, much like the way Ericka described, with the videotaping, etc... I was not involved in the planning, and actually was kind of uncomfortable with the video-talking to someone parts, and I think my mom and the others who planned it went a bit overboard, but that's just me. I'm sure the presents were appreciated. Some of the larger presents were purchased online, I think, and available to pick up in their State, or delivered directly to them instead of to the gift-giver and then mailed with the rest of the (smaller) gifts, in one box. It's a nice idea, though! I hope it all works out. Tina. |

Long-distance baby shower
"Tracey" wrote in message
m... I thought that it would have been better if we had been able to have had a webcam set up and see her open the gifts, and maybe have her mom and sister there with her at her house in Florida (they live in the same town as her). That would be cool. We (or I should say, DH has a large TV so if it could be hooked up through the computer to show her on the TV it would almost be like she's actually here. ;-) I'll have to find out if that's possible. If not, then I'll propose what Ericka and Tina described and have people bring their unwrapped gifts to wrap at our party (since half the fun of a baby shower is oohing and aahing over the cute baby stuff!) then we'll all send them to my cousin to unwrap at her leisure. -- Cheryl S.
