The History of the Baby Shower
A modern day Baby Shower often involves the bringing of gifts for the new baby, some fun party games, party food and of course lots of talk about babies! It is often hosted by a female family member but never usually hosted by the expectant mother, the expectant's mother's mother or their mother-in-law. It is usually hosted around one month before the baby's expected due date.
The origins can be traced back many hundreds of years. Many historians believe the celebration of birth can be traced back as far as Roman and Egyptian times. Traditionally, baby showers took place after the birth of a baby, usually at around one month of age. The newborn baby would be introduced to all the mothers friends and family and people would bring gifts, often handmade items such as clothing, blankets and even some food items for the new mother. Traditionally, only women were invited to attend the baby shower gathering.
The modern day gathering we celebrate today became popular custom after World War Two. Female friends and family would get together to celebrate the birth of a new baby. Although traditionally the party is still held for females, many baby shower gatherings extend the invitation to include male family members, including the expectant father.
A Baby Shower is a celebration to welcome new life. Few things in life compare to the overwhelming excitement and joy a new baby brings to the family. This special occasion offers the perfect opportunity for families and friends to get together and celebrate new life, love and family values.
