A baby shower is a gift-giving celebration or a ceremony with various titles throughout cultures. It commemorates a child’s birth or impending birth, as well as a woman’s metamorphosis into a mother. The phrase “shower” is frequently misunderstood to imply that the expectant mother will be “showered” with presents. A bridal shower may have gotten its name from the practice of putting gifts inside a parasol, which when opened would “shower” the bride-to-be with gifts in the nineteenth century. Traditionally, baby showers are only held for the family’s first child, and only women are invited; however, this has altered in recent years, allowing showers to be divided into multiple audiences, such as workplace, mixed-sex, and so on. Gift-giving and themed games are common activities at baby showers. Baby shower games range from traditional games such as bingo to pregnancy-themed games such as “guess the mother’s measures” or “guess the baby.” These activities allow close friends who attend the shower to bond with the mother and the new family to express their gratitude ahead of time by determining who is willing and able to assist them with the responsibilities of raising a child.
