Baby shower is also an opportunity to help parents get items they may not be able to afford. In addition, it serves the function of welcoming a new member to the family and supporting them.
A baby shower is generally arranged by a close friend of the expectant parents. Traditionally, it was considered improper for a family member to host baby shower because the event centers on gift-giving.
Baby showers have become more common in the past 15 years, as families have become smaller and each child gets more individual attention. Though baby shower are traditionally only held for the first child, they can also be arranged for subsequent children and for children who have been adopted. It is common for the host of the baby shower to provide baby-themed games during the shower. In some regions, baby shower favors (small gifts for the guests) are common.
Baby Shower schedule:
Typically a baby shower last about 2 hours. Welcoming the Guests & serving some light appetizers. After the majority of guests have arrived at the baby shower, go around the room and have each guest introduce themselves and how they know the mother-to-be. Play 3-4 shower games - it is fun to play games at the beginning as “ice breakers.
Have everyone serve themselves at the baby shower. Once everyone is served with snacks, have the mother-to-be begin to open her gifts.
Guests usually leave the baby shower a few at a time. Make sure the mother-to-be gets to say goodbye to everyone and you should thank everyone for coming. If you have a shower favor, this is the time to give it out.
Baby showers allow family & friends to share the joy & excitement of welcoming a new life into the world. Babies always get so many new outfits at a baby shower that they rarely have a chance to wear them more then a couple of times before they are outgrown.
