Baby shower – what is it exactly?

Baby shower is a party organized for the mother-to-be. It is a party of gift-giving in anticipation of the birth of her baby. This practice made its way to us from the US where baby showers have been a tradition already for many years. The guestlist for the baby shower normally is made up of family and friends

Baby shower – what is it exactly?

Baby shower is not a typical party, alcohol and dancing should certainly not play a part here. This is a gift-giving party that focuses on the mother-to-be and the soon arriving baby, arranged in a warm, calm and loving atmosphere. The venue should be decorated accordingly with balloons, pompoms, plush toys; perhaps in the colour corresponding with the sex of the soon-to-arrive baby. It is also very important to arrange fun activities for the guests – games and competitions. For instance, the guests could guess the circumference of the belly, compete who is the fastest to change a diaper, come up with baby names, etc. But most importantly we cannot forget about gifts – after all even the name of this event implies that the baby should be showered with presents.

What gifts would the mother-to-be appreciate the most?

It is common to consider elements of the layette as a gift for the baby shower, for instance: clothes, diapers, toys, bottles, pacifiers. If your budget allows you may consider a more expensive item, for instance an infant carrier, a baby cot or bassinet. Such items will certainly relieve the strained budget of the soon-to-be parents.

A good idea for a gift would be a swaddle blanket which will make the newborn feel natural and comfortable or a soft baby bamboo blanket to make the baby feel cozy. Another good idea is an ergonomically shaped feeding/nursing pillow which will make the newborn comfortable when nursing or being bottle fed. You could also consider getting a baby pod, a ‘nest’ providing the baby with a safe and comfortable place from their very first day.

No matter the gift you choose it will certainly bring joy to the parents-to-be but if you choose something practical you will compound their joy.

What should you bear in mind when picking the gift for the baby shower?

When choosing the gift you should primarily bear in mind the needs and expectations of the mother-to-be and her baby. The first months after birth are very tough and exhausting for parents and their new baby. The gifts received during the baby shower may turn out to be an invaluable help, therefore it is important to pick a gift that is original, nice as well as useful, comfortable and a fit with the parents’ lifestyle.
