A friend is pregnant with her third baby and is throwing a third baby shower at the expense of other people. I was just curious what the etiquette is for baby showers. I thought it was just 1 baby shower for the first baby?

I thought it was just one baby shower also... That's just a tad greedy if you ask me!
There is no etiquette. 20 years ago the only people who had baby showers were American. Personally I find the idea of someone footing the bill for any party of mine distasteful unless it is a surprise. I don't think it's about how many parties you have, it's what you expect out of them that I have a problem with. So if you expect free stuff and expect people to foot the bill then I have a problem with any kind of party.
I had a baby shower for first but not for second.
I think it's only right with first baby
I had a baby sprinkle yesterday for my second baby! Thrown by my best friend. Everyone loved coming and only gave me small items like nappies the invite said not to bring much it is more to show the mum you care and to have a catch up with people who love and support you!! I got heaps of gifts for my baby shower (1st baby) and got some lovely little things yesterday. Every one knows you don't expect much and it's not about being greedy it's celebrating a new life and my second baby is just as important as my first!!
I didnt get a proper baby shower with my first (abusive relationship kept away from family and friends) so when i had my second it was nice when one was thrown for me. In saying that if a third came along id invite friends and family for bbq/afternoom tea or something to celebrate before bub because i hate visitors once baby is here
