Baby Shower Invitations Announcements Cards
The baby shower originated in the late eighteen hundreds and
got its name from the "showering" of love and gifts for the
Mommy-to-Be. The baby shower started as a tea party for only women who would
share the day with the Mommy-to-Be and her female family members. The gifts
given to the new mom were very practical in nature as well as handmade.
joyful occasions, times when family and friends gather to congratulate the
Mommy-to-Be, play baby shower games, give baby shower gifts and eat. But, the
purpose of a baby shower is a lot more than just fun and games. Baby Showers
offer an opportunity for family members and friends to offer advice and support
to the soon-to-be mommy and daddy.
A baby shower was
originally offered for the first baby of the Mommy-to-Be but that tradition has
changed to being for all "new additions" to a family since they are
all miracles and deserve to be showered with love and gifts. Usually, the baby
shower is held in an afternoon on a weekend when most people can attend. The
person throwing the baby shower is usually a family member or close family
friend. Originally, one baby shower would be thrown for a Mommy-to-Be, but
today many women have more than one party because they have different groups of
friends, co-workers and family members. For mommies having their second, third,
fourth or any other than their first child, the custom is referred to as
"sprinkles".

and family to share the joy and excitement of welcoming a new life into the
world, and provide emotional support to the new parents-to-be. It is very common
for a Mommy-to-Be or Daddy-to-Be to be nervous about their new roles as
parents. A few words of advice from friends and family member can be extremely
helpful and calming, and the presence of all those attending the baby showers
is a supportive gesture that is always appreciated.
