Granny Showers: The New Trend Dividing Families
Granny Showers: A New Tradition or Tacky Gift Grab? The concept of "granny showers," celebrating new grandmothers with gifts, is gaining popularity. However, opinions are divided. Some see it as a lovely way to welcome a new grandmother into her role, a chance for family and friends to show their support and celebrate the new milestone. Others view it as an inappropriate, potentially tacky, and materialistic event, questioning its necessity compared to more established baby showers. "Are granny showers a nice new tradition or a tacky gift grab?" asks MoreThanGrand, a US-based parenting influencer, in a recent video. She presents both sides of the argument, highlighting the potential for conflict if a granny shower overshadows the parents' baby shower. The video suggests that context is key; a small gathering among close friends or coworkers is acceptable, but lavish celebrations that rival the baby shower might be seen as inappropriate. The debate over granny showers highlights the evolving dynamics of family celebrations and the potential for differing perspectives on gift-giving and social etiquette. Ultimately, the decision of whether to host a granny shower should consider the family's financial situation, the relationship dynamics, and the overall goal of the event: celebration or gift-grabbing.
