For those who do not know what it is, a baby shower It is a meeting that is held to say goodbye to the pregnancy and celebrate the arrival of the future baby in the world.
As in the bachelor parties, it is usually a friend, sister, cousin or mother in charge of orchestrating the party. The custom is widespread in the United States and has gradually slipped into other countries.
The pregnant woman and her friends (some are also mixed) meet at the baby shower at the end of pregnancy to honor the pregnant woman and the unborn baby. It is usually done about a month or a month and a half before the expected delivery date.
At the party, each ingredient is essential. To celebrate a baby shower in conditions that remain in the memory of all there are certain elements that can not be missing. These are: invitations, decoration, gifts, cake and games. I explain below what each one consists of.
Invitations: There are many models of baby shower invitation cards. They usually bear the name of the mother and the baby with tones and figures alluding to the sex of the baby, if it is already “official”. Of course, they also indicate the place and time where the meeting will be held and if you prefer you can include the activities that will be carried out.
Invitations can be made by hand at home or sent to print, the first option is cheaper and original than the second. In this link and also here and here you can find some invitation models.
Decor: balloons, ribbons, garlands and any reason related to babies are the necessary items to decorate the environment where the party will be held. You can choose the color blue or pink depending on the sex of the baby, if you already know or choose a neutral tone like beige, white or yellow, or why not a multicolored decoration. Crafts can be made to decorate and even souvenir souvenirs for guests.
Gifts: One of the purposes of the baby shower is to equip the mother with everything she will need once the baby is born. Newborn clothes are given away, things that the mother might need to take to the hospital, toys, diapers, blankets, as well as decorative items for the baby's room. The gifts can be individual or together between the guests to make a more important gift. It is best to check with the future mom what kind of gifts she prefers.
The cake: food is also important, and especially, the cake (or cake or cake). It is the spirit of celebration. Its preparation is that of any birthday cake, but the decoration is the characteristic touch. It is usually adorned with baby-related motifs such as pacifiers or bottles that can be made from some type of edible pasta.
Games: One of the originalities of the party are the entertainment that is planned to liven up it. One of the classic games is to guess the size of the gut in which each guest must trim the measure that he thinks is closer to the real one. You can use a roll of toilet paper or tape, for example. Also very common are memory games, tests and crosswords, always related to the subject.
That is, in general what a baby shower is about. The idea is to honor and show affection towards the protagonists of the story.
I think one of the thanks of the celebration is that it is organized by someone close to the pregnant woman, but if you prefer, there are also companies that are professionally dedicated to the integral organization of baby showers.
