upcoming birth of a new baby. It is a great tradition around
world in many religions and ethnicities.
With a little bit of difference from place to place
basic motto remains
same. To shower
new mom-to-be with flowers and gifts.
Anyone can plan
baby shower. Traditionally baby shower guests consisted mostly of close friends and family members. But these days anyone can be invited as a baby shower guests, such as co-workers, friends, friends of friend, relatives and church groups etc.
Generally there are no specific guidelines or rules for baby showers. Anything is fine as long as everyone is having a good time.
When
baby shower guests arrive, usually they gather in a hall or big room. The mom-to-be will be sitting along a few close friends. Upon arrival of
baby shower guests, everyone should be offered some beverages and/or light snacks.
Most of
time
baby shower guests know each other. But in case they don’t, it is up to
hostess to introduce
guests to each other.
