Baby Showers – Then and NowBaby showerscan be a lot of fun for the mother-to-be and her friends. It is achance for them to celebrate the new life and to “shower” themother-to-be with love and gifts. Since time immemorial, everyculture has had ways of celebrating the beginning of apregnancy.It used to be that gifts were given to the mother after the babywas born. It was often just an afternoon tea party for the motherand her close female relatives. The gifts she would receive wouldbe generally handmade and almost always very practical. Generallythey would have a shower only for the first baby in a family, theone that first make the “mother-to-be” into a mother. And therewould usually be just one party given for that baby.Modern Baby ShowersNow, not only are baby showers often given for subsequentchildren joining the family, but the mother is often “showered”more than once, by various groups: work, church, relatives, etc.They are often planned to include both men and women the pregnantcouple knows. It can be very sophisticated and elegant, or is canbe much more casual.Showers today usually only last a few hours and are often heldat a restaurant or someone’s home. The shower is often held priorto the birth by a month or two, which is usually early enough evenif the baby decides to come a bit early. This extra time gives themother time to exchange duplicate gifts and buy anything else shefeels she still needs but didn’t get at the shower.Usually there will be food of some sort at the baby shower,either just snacks or complete meals. There is also generally acake – which is often the centerpiece on the table; it can be asimple sheet cakes, or something much more unique and elaborate.There are many ideas available for creative cakes that tie in
perfectly with the theme of the baby shower. It is a good idea to
choose a theme and plan for the cake at the same time, before
announcing the details of the shower to the mother and guests. This
way, the host can be sure they have a cake that ties in well with
their theme and isn’t struggling at the last minute to find a
suitable cake.
Hosting a baby
shower doesn’t have to be expensive, as the budget can dictate
where and how the party will be held. A more expensive event does
not mean that the mother-to-be is more loved, or that it will be
more fun. A shower can be a lot of fun without being expensive if
you are having a theme that can tie the party together. While some
scoff at games being “silly”, they can be great for breaking the
ice among people who may not know each other and can also help the
various generations relate more to one another. Besides, when else
is playing silly games socially acceptable? Enjoy planning and
attending the baby shower, and remember that the memories are the
important part.
