Does anyone know the proper etiquette for baby shower gifts if the child dies?
Wow, this is so sad. I think that the OP means that the couple has already received the gifts, and if they should return them to the people who got them. I’d say whatever they feel comfortable with. I doubt they have the time and energy to deal with returning gifts right now. If they do plan on trying again, I’d say put the gifts out of sight or even store them at someone else’s house and keep them for the next baby. The most important thing right now is dealing with the grief. I think that if I got someone a shower gift and heaven forbid the baby died, I’m not going to be expecting my gift back. That’s tacky and heartless. I’m so so so very sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to your brother and his fiancee.
