Not Daycare Related At All, Just Looking For Input

[SilverSabre25]

Honestly...being from the "Digital Generation" or whatever it's called, I don't mind the idea.

For families/friends that are widespread, and with the prevalence of online shopping, skype, etc, it seems like a natural progression of the thing.

Now, you could fly your DD to you for a shower where you are...people do that all the time. You could specify that due to baggage constraints, it needs to be a gift card shower, or shower where everyone contributes to buy some BIG things that you will then purchase and ship to DD's home, or ask that everyone ship the gifts to DD's home instead of bringing them to the party, or something.

Be creative; in this day and age, few people are actually offended by the different ideas that folks come up with for these "traditional" things.

Here's a website with some interesting ideas and input on a long distance baby shower

Thank you all so much! I am feeling much better about this now.

I have been thinking about maybe creating a facebook page or a web site of some sort for my DD and the baby. SO that the people that are invited to the shower can follow along with her pregnancy, post comments, see pictures as she progresses etc. BUT I don't want it open to the public, I want it to be by invite like the Weight Watchers Facebook page that I am a member of, I had to request an invite I think. Does anybody know anything about this, there is a "create a page" tab on the facebook page I don't know if I just do that. The main thing is that I don't want just anybody to be able to get into it, I want it by invite only. Any ideas?

When my dh was deployed they had a private group page by invite only for his squadron to post info about coming home, comments from the guys like asking qho wants to go eat at the chow hall. So, it can be done! Not sure how though. Sorry im not much help.
