Baby Shower for Second Child
Types of baby showers can also be for a second, third or more. Sometimes this type of shower would also be called a caboose baby shower.

Long Distance Baby Shower
When mother or parents cannot be at shower, you can hold a long distance baby shower. Also called an absentee shower, virtual baby shower or online baby shower.

Baby Shower for Couples
A baby shower for couples is another type of baby shower you could have. This shower is for both mom and dad-to-be. If having a baby couples baby shower seems odd to you, consider this: mom-to-be did not get pregnant on her own. Nor will she likely be raising baby on her own. So why should she get to celebrate on her own?

Baby Shower for Grandma
Throwing a baby shower for grandmother would be a great way to commemorate excitement of becoming a grandparent for first time. There’s nothing like spoiling little cuties for a day and then sending them home to their parents!

Surprise Baby Shower
Will mother-to-be know of party, or will you be having a surprise baby shower? Remember, mom could go into labor early and you would have to cancel or re-schedule shower. Also, you would have to figure out a way to spring it on her without her finding out. However, if you want to surprise her and obstacles don't bother you, go for it.

Baby Shower for Teacher
Something a little different would be a baby shower for teacher. Studies show that there is a lot of interest in this type of baby shower. You would give teacher a shower similiar to a baby shower for mom.
