When to have a baby shower is again a personal choice. It can be held anytime 4-6 weeks before or after the birth. Moreover, it can be held any day of the week and at any time of the day that is suitable for the mom-to-be, her family and the invited guests.
Traditionally, baby parties before the birth were very common. Today it is a matter of personal choice and convenience. It is usual for the event to be held perhaps a month or two before the birth.
If the shower is to be held before the birth then it is preferable that the gifts should be those related to newborn babies and in neutral colors as well as gender neutral.

after the birth, which has also become quite a popular time period. It has its own advantages, like mother is somewhat worry free about her pregnancy. She doesn't have that large belly, so can participate in more baby shower games and other activities. She can eat whatever she feels like, unlike when she was pregnant.
Sometimes it can be more appropriate to host a baby shower after the birth if the mother is having a difficult pregnancy or her religion discourages celebrating the baby's birth beforehand.
Having the baby shower after the baby is born has other advantages as well. Now you can be sure that the gifts can relate to the baby, i.e. girl or boy.
So as to when to have a baby shower,

before or after is just fine, but it is a good idea not to hold the shower too near the anticipated birth date. Otherwise the mother's health may not be good enough for her to enjoy or even take part in the games or activities. Also, the baby could of course arrive late or prematurely.
Similarly, the next issue while choosing when to have a baby shower is to know whether she is a first time mother, or if this her second or more birth. Baby showers before the baby arrives are great fun for first-time mothers to look forward to in the last month of her pregnancy.
In this case the expectant couple (she and the daddy) can play and dream with all the gifts while awaiting their dream baby. For the second and

subsequent babies, baby showers (also called sprinkles) can be held before or after the baby is born. The upside of holding the baby shower after the baby's birth is that gifts can be chosen by the sex of the baby and mother is more relaxed.
As per the old tradition, a baby shower is only held for the first baby. However, the modern view is that baby showers can be held for successive babies as well. Frankly speaking, it is a matter of personal preference and we have seen baby showers for 4th or 5th babies.
However, it is considered to be a good idea if the hostess can confirm and discuss with the guest of honor and potential guests how they feel about holding a second or third. If a majority of the

people agree, you have all the reasons you need to go ahead with the shower.
Generally gifts for the subsequent baby showers are being targeted to more useful everyday items. Those that the baby may need and most of the time they are less expensive than for the first baby. However, nothing can stop you if you wish to give more expensive gifts on any subsequent showers.
My personal viewpoint is that a baby shower should be held for every baby. Moreover, showers are not just gift giving and taking rituals, but something more than that. They are given to bless and congratulate the mom-to-be and her family. But that is just my personal opinion, so go with what you have planned either way.

showers are a time tested noble celebration. A social event and a good excuse for friends and family to get together and to celebrate the birth of a baby.
Moreover, in recent times pregnancies and deliveries have become quite an expensive affair. So this could help the parents financially as well.
