We had one baby shower for my first child. For each child however, we had a luncheon following their baptism/christening ceremonies. We only included close family and friends, and we paid for the event. But each child got some very special gifts from people. All got beautiful cross necklaces from their great grandmother, special lockets from a grandmother, silver spoons, rattles, etc from other family members, etc. My sister made each one a quilt, my mom cross stitched each on an angel. So anyway, they all got gifts that they will keep forever.
I personally felt we should not have second and third showers. Most friends come by and bring gifts for the babies anyway just so they can see the little ones. I have heard of other people doing dinner and diaper showers for second babies. That is what you really need - diapers, and gift certificates for restaurants or homemade dinners cause you sure don't have much time to cook during those first few feeks with a baby!
