2 baby showers?

My niece, who is 19 is having a baby shower and majority of the guest list is 25 and younger. Would it be a appropriate to give her another baby shower for older family and friends? I personally do not want to be around a bunch of 25 and younger crowd and some of the older guest might not feel comfortable.

Update:

Another reason, is that there is like 50 people on her list and the place she is having it, may not accomodate all these people.

    I don't see anything wrong with it; I am having two; my mom is throwing one for me, plus the girls at work; my mother in law was going to have one for me, but when I told her my mom was going to have one too, she said that I only needed one.

    When I was expecting my oldest I had three baby showers!

    -One was hosted by my dad's sister and the guest list included my dad's side of the family and my close friends (so ages ranged from 19 to 87!)

    - The second was hosted my my sister and the guest list consisted of my mother's side of the family (which is HUGE) and the ages spanned from 8 to 80.

    - The third was hosted by my mother in law and consisted of her friends and co-workers (none of whom I had previously met lol) and the guest were all pretty much about 55.

    It was nice having the three separate showers because it kept the parties at a reasonable size! However, I don't see any reason to restrict the guest lists to a certain age group :)

    We had 3 baby showers. One was thrown by co-workers of my wife at a restaurant, another for her side of the family, and the third was with my family & mutual friends.

    We found that easier than having one giant shower with an overabundance of people at one. Plus, having seperate gives more time to socialize with everyone instead of rushing around trying to talk with those in attendance.

    It doesn't matter how you feel, no offense. If the girl who is pregnant wants everyone at her shower, it is selfish of you to segregate it! Remember a baby shower isn't about you, it's about the woman and baby.

    Yes, I think that would be fine. Most people have 2 or 3 baby showers anyway. I had 2 showers, one from my family, & my Husband's family, then one from work.

    This way she will get much needed items!!
