Baby Shower Ideas... - Georgetown,TX

You're right, she's still going to need things since her last baby came 6yrs
ago. Most likely she got rid of everything.

Maybe call it "Mama Help Shower", "Help For Mama", or something.
You can even put something on the invite like "She had her last baby 6
years ago so she just needs a few beginnings & some help".

Make it known that while she's had kids before, it's been years so she
needs the basics to help her out.

Even ask for gently used hand me downs to be brought in & recycled.
(Clothes, a bassinet, high chair etc.).

Then do something nice for the mom like give her a basket of warm fuzzy
socks, glass nail file, one nice smelling lotion or the kind that's really
good for your skin but is fragrant free etc.

Tell ppl it's a nice gesture to get together for the mom whether she's had her first child or is on her 4th. An homage to a mom. Play it low key but she will still need things.

Call it a baby shower. If anyone doesn't like it or is offended, they don't need to come. The people who really love her will show up, and they're the ones who matter.

After 6 years, I think it's really fine to call it what it is: a baby shower. I can't imagine keeping a pile of baby stuff in the attic for a just in case pregnancy sometime down the road. If someone really wants to be offended, let them. (I think some people like being offended, in some weird way.)

IF you are going to invite her closest friends and family, then calling it what it is, "a baby shower" no one should have a problem with it.. Either people want to celebrate or not... you can call it spaghetti, but if the people are bringing baby gifts and you are celebrating the woman having a baby, then it IS a baby shower.. with spaghetti :)

You call it a "sprinkle party." At least that's the term for those parties in my area. :)

Nope, you cannot call it a baby shower without offending anyone. Either you care that it's tacky, or you don't. So what if she needs stuff? Everybody needs stuff. Deciding to have a (fourth) baby means that you are prepared to get stuff to take care of YOUR baby.

I'm buying another pair of shoes tomorrow. I think that I'll let someone throw me a shower and register for new outfits to complement my new shoes.

If you want to do something for your friend, feel free. Other people who want to do something will also do something. Maybe you call those specific people up and make a party of it.
