80. A Baby Shower
While many women are involved in planning their
showers, a baby shower usually comes as a
surprise. A baby shower is a party where
pregnant woman is "showered" with gifts and good
. A baby shower is usually given by a
female friend or relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes
-workers of a pregnant person will also throw a
shower.
The baby shower is usually given when
mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant.
though, because predicting the due date of a
isn't always exact, a baby shower can happen
the baby is born. A baby shower can
held in someone's home or outside, like in
restaurant or catering hall. Traditionally only women are
to a baby shower. However, more and more
showers are also including the father-to-be. Like with
bridal shower, a mother-to-be will often register a
list of things she wants at one or
stores. This list usually consists of things the
wants for her baby including clothes, diapers and
furniture like high chairs and cribs. This way
and family members can go to the store
buy something from the list. Registering helps make
that there aren't repeat items, like 30 bottles
a new mom only needed 15.
Some baby
also feature a paper mache wishing well. This
not just for decoration. People can put cards
with wishes for the new baby and mom.
of these cards also contain money or gift
to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she
for the baby. Sometimes there are games at
baby shower. In one game everyone guesses the
date of the baby. Another game has people
